A lot of the Iowa talking heads claim that his buyout will prevent them from canning him. And don't get me wrong, it's a ridiculous buyout for a guy who has accomplished so little. That said, I can't imagine they'd keep around a guy who failed to make the NCAA tournament 3 years in a row. He's already taken a step backward from the meager plateau he'd attained. But missing 3 years in a row would be a death sentence almost anywhere else in the power 5. What the heck could he sell to recruits? I have a feeling that Iowa would find the money to get rid of him.I sincerely don't understand how Fran has a job if they miss the tournament this year. I don't want him to leave, but I'm confident they wouldn't hire a better replacement anyway.

I was about to suggest passing the KFC bucket for donations at Carver, but then you would have to have someone there, wouldn't you?A lot of the Iowa talking heads claim that his buyout will prevent them from canning him.

There were a ton of people in the SEZ bar area that is where I watched.

He'd have been fired a ways back if Lick hadn't invented a new level for low bars. Fran is John Wooden compared to Lick.
I hadn’t really watched Connor before, but I kind of like him as a player. He knows what he’s doing out there. Give me Haliburton any day, but Connor isn’t bad.
I’m still trying to figure out what he does that I couldn’t go out and do. Bring the ball up. Make safe passes, point at random **** on defense, Have a terrible shooting form. He checks all my boxes.

Next year will be a lot of fun at Hilton.He does bring a certain Richard-headedness to the game that Iowa actually needs. I, for one, am already looking forward to the game next year...great to have the series.
