I’d put a Fran coached team loses by 25 to a Florida team like that. Congrats to Connor and Pmac for such a great win for their alma mater. I’m sure they are over the moon right now like all of Hawkeye nation!
How Much does Fran lose that game by?!?
- Thread starter BringBackBradBanks
- Start date
They either lose to an Auburn or Richmond or beat a non Power 5 school and get boat raced by an Oregon, Villanova, or Gonzaga second round.
Fran is allergic to defense. You don’t win in March without defense.
Fran is in a perfect spot. Play a little wide open and beat slow unathletic teams, Pat on the back for one and done and go home.

Fran was let go. We as fans should take the high road and do the same. If your dad was terminated from a school that you spent a majority of your childhood years and the start of your young adult life at I'm sure you might be a little salty also. We are coming off one of the greatest hawkeye wins in many of our lifetimes. We have another game to play to make it to the Elite Eight! I'd rather focus on the efforts of this team.I’d put a Fran coached team loses by 25 to a Florida team like that. Congrats to Connor and Pmac for such a great win for their alma mater.

Naw. Connor deserves all the flack. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it back! And I did take the high road, I congratulated both of them as proud Iowa basketball alums!

Fran's teams were pretty much always down 20 by halftime of these 2nd round games.
When my wife got her masters the first thing I brought up was how my ex would have never gotten into grad school, let alone pass her dissertation.
I predicted something similar…80 seems a little high, but I could see it happening in garbage time….or if Fran played his future NBA lottery pick instead of his son. (Sorry, could not resist)
Well, Fran's current team only gave up 65 points the other day in their tourney loss . . . in the second half.I’d put a Fran coached team loses by 25 to a Florida team like that.

STFU you saps have Fran deraingment syndrome glad he’s gone but stop living yesterdays news. Enough!!
How is celebrating and congratulating former Iowa Hawkeyes basketball players on this great achievement yesterday’s news?!?
I think highly and fondly of Fran. He dug the program out of the Big 10 cellar. He had a team that at one point was ranked #1 in KenPom in late January / early February. He helped bring in NBA talent that the program had not seen in a long time.
Fran is a very good coach, but obviously we never got over the hump with him. It was time for him to go, and boy was the timing great because we seem to have an excellent coach with Ben McCollum. If Fran had left/been fired earlier, I'm not sure who we would have hired (maybe Darian DeVries if it happened a year earlier?), but I cannot imagine we would have got anyone better than McCollum.

1 Elite 8
2 Sweet 16s
….and I liked Dr Tom, but sometimes didn’t know when to back off the full court press (like against Du-Orke)

As the all time winningest coach in Iowa men's basketball history, I demand some respect.
Thank you.
You are DAMAN and I appreciate all you do for us here!!
That Fran is not da man anymore.
… how’s that for ya
