Fran McCaffery owns the history book

[cycloner29]

Didn't come here to win any conference title trophies or make the second week of the tournament or recruit any good players. Just came here to coach Iowa. Nothing more.

Just have J-Bo sitting on the couch next to Fran with his suitcase packed with 4 weeks worth of clothes and a stolen NCAA rug.

And 'Thanks for the memz' engraved somewhere.

I'll bet he doesn't want anyone to make a big deal about his record because it includes the losses in addition to the wins.

Fran and his sons are just here for the love of the game. Hok fan should be thankful

I assume he also holds the record for most losses in Hawkeye history?

 

[cytor]

Is Fran also the longest tenured coach at Iowa Men's BB history?

One of my favorite memes I've seen on this site is one where someone superimposed Fran into a scene from "The Men Who Stare at Goats." Wish I could find it.

As much as I am not remotely a Mad Fran fan, this is a pretty refreshing quote.

Yes. Beating out Tom Davis
Tom Davis 269-140 (.658)
Fran McCafferey 270-182 (.597)

Dr. Tom was much....much....much more likeable on all levels.

 

[CyberJJJ]

I assume he also holds the record for most losses in Hawkeye history?

Yes. by 36! Thus more than by what he holds the victory margin.

 

[JohnnyFive]

A testament to doing just enough to not get fired.

I think this is called quiet quitting. Fran’s been doing it since he started

 

[JP4CY]

And now a tie with Dr Tom for the most overall wins.
Congrats to the GOAT.
