official perma ban bet on Iowa

nope. why would they, Fran took over a program where the fan had grown apathetic about the program seeing Iowa go thru 11 years where the team had just 3 .500 or better winning seasons in the BT with the last 3 where Iowa avg'd just 5 BT wins per season, also in that 11 seasons Iowa had w

THEN how did he get Cook or the DC Gatorade POY. also if Fran was not the coach none of them would have never come to Iowa,

same with top 100 PG Gesell from Nebraska, and even top 50 Woodbury would have gone to UNC and that pair led Iowa to Iowa 3rd best win total in Iowa's History and 3 straight NCAAT.

now Fran has 6 4* players that will be here for the next 2 years, Like I posted on HR their recruiting prediction board has Carton 50% to Iowa. that's a pretty damn good showing in favor of Fran.
I haven't said all his teams have been bad, just a couple. Last year is included in that couple. The previous years were good which is why I'm giving him next year to turn it around instead of wanting him fired now
 
First bold: Buyouts have made it so some programs can't fire a coach when they should. Iowa would pay Fran $10 million, not the other way around

Second bold: But the point is that he's at the bottom of the BIG in terms of coaching by basically everyone on these boards

Not bolded: The extension would be fine if we won a little more
no read the article Fran has to pay 10 million if he decides to take another job.

since you don't like it take the 12th place perma ban bet.

his 1st bad season in the last 7 and you are throwing him under the bus knowing the top 5/6 were made up of 4 SO and 2 FR.
SO Cook
SO Bohannon
SO Pemsl
SO Moss
FR Garza
FR Nunge
5 started at one point in the season the only non starter was Pemsl who just last summer was recovering from a sports hernia operation and having bone spurs removed from his feet.
Pemsl started 15 games as a true FR.

I literally did the opposite of throwing him under the bus

its a shame nothing but FF's and BT Championship will make you happy.
 
didn't have too as you were upset with one losing season and will only give Fran 1 year to turn it around. like you could do better.
I want us to show improvement otherwise we fire him. I don't even expect us to make the tournament, but another season like this previous won't and shouldn't fly with Iowa fans
 
making the tourney is/was never good enough , Dr. Tom was run off the year they reached the Sweet 16 with a 9-0 record in NCAAT 1sr round games, his last season Iowa finished 2nd in the BT.
LIKE I said its BT Championships and FF is the only thing that will make people like you happy, if not its fire the coach and hire the coach that will take Iowa to FF's and BT Championships EVERY YEAR.
 
What is your deal gilligan? Learning disability?
nope but it looks you have the learning disability. after being a Hawk fan for over 60 years, these people that feel that Fran has 1 bad year out of 7 successful season needs to be fired, when most of them have never played BB or even coached even at the grade school level and post like expert coaches,
 
Dude, he's all over this thread. You'll have to remove the Ignore function to see..

He wants to be the Iowa Lavar Ball but with less substance.
not even close, but I do know more than most about the quality of players. living thru all 3 FF's and seeing coaches run off and coaches that ran as fast as they could from these idiot fans.

Miller whose last team went undefeated winning the BT Championship ran to coach a downtrodden Oregon team
Lute couldn't get out of IC fast enough even though the university built a new BB arena that is now known as Carver Hawkeye Arena
Ravelling another coach that coudn't get of IC fast enough and went to USC after 3 season.
Davis was run off for not winning enough as if a 9-0 1st round record, 1 Elite 8 and 2 Sweet 16 finishes.

7 times they lost to the eventual NCAAT Champion
Fran lost to #2 seed Gonzaga
then lost to #2 seed eventual NCAA Champion Villinova and they want to run him off,
Fran is 3rd in all time BT wins in the modern era behind these
Davis with 125 BT wins in 13 seasons
Lute with 91 wins in 9 season
Fran 64 wins in 8 seasons

I'm not even talking about the basketball team, gil. You're posting on the national board betting that Iowa will finish better than 12th in the Big Ten next year. Nobody cares. It's a stunning lack of self-awareness. You're picking fights that no one wants to pick with you.

you need to look at the BT in season THREAD TO find out just who I am calling out and am challenging to put up or shut up. now they are trying to back out of their comments about Iowa finishing in the basement of the BT to finishing 9th.

there sure is a lot of waffling going now they are being called on it,

Great Iowa basketball is mediocre now. They’re the Indiana Football of college basketball.

for a one year down turn but it is back on the rise to a level not seen since the Lute and Tom years and is only going to get better.
 
jwardelt is still saying that Iowa won't finish better than 12th as he just doesn't see it but he won't take the bet even though he is so sure.
