Growing up in Ames, with a grand-dad who coached Nebbie, the Iowa Hawkeye coaching gig has always been his dream. His destination.
The Fran Fade has started

Eh, its not like Prohm ****** us over. He just wasn't very good.
I blame that more on Pollard signing him to a knee-jerk extension after winning the big 12 tournament in 2019.
I don’t know how much more clear I can make this. Fran isn’t walking away from his money. I’m not sure why this is a thing.
I think we would love it to see him there another 2 years
The bus has a flat tire and one wheel in the ditch. He needs to stay until it’s completely in the ditch and on fire.
I mean, it's a great plan really. Get rid of a guy with little tournament success who puts no emphasis on defense with a better looking guy with little tournament success and no emphasis on defense.
All he's got to do is tell Beth to look at the "body of work". He has her hostage and he's going to get major $$$ for how that awful fanbase treated his kids.
At this point with TJ I’m not scared of anyone in the country much less DeVries who is a good coach no doubt. But TJ has shown he is one of the top coaches in the country as far as roster development.
That AI image is creepy. Like a brother from another dimension of Hoiberg.
Women's rowing is just an afront to title ix and balancing numbers. I can speak with first hand experience that some of those athletes were JV at best in their HS sports. They have zero interest in making rowing anything more than I just described
They pretend to care about women's hoops but that ship is sailing.
I think they are already trying to get that coach fired like they think they got the Fever coach fired.
These all time winning coaches in football and men’s hoops deserve lifetime contracts. Make it so, Iowa AD.
Mac just signed an extension through 2032. He's earned the right to go out on his terms.
Lots and lots of hidden money in that deal. He makes $2.1 on paper but he's easily pulling $4M+. The accounting does a lot of work at private schools.
Where would the pressure come from to get rid of him? Fans don't care about men's basketball and have been in a show me mode for 10 years with Fran already. There was 1000 people at last night's game, it isn't like the fans are going to become even more apathetic. It's not like Iowa being bad in mbb hurts the athletic department financially. Goetz can ride out the contract just to make Fran be the one to pull the plug and save the money of buying him out. Call his bluff Beth! Make him say, "I quit!"

I think we need him to be there as long as possible. But he’s getting his money no matter what.
It’s pretty hilarious how poorly they’re already handling the post-Clark era. Jensen will be fine but they already want her canned for Jennie.
I think they are trying to hold on through this year to avoid it being obvious what fair-weather, band-waggoners they are, but by next year it'll be half full again.
