Always hated Iowa but you could respect Davis's good teams because they played pretty tough.
I hope they model it after the picture for Level 2 of the Francon Alert System
Like the statue for a sub .500 conference coach that is outside Hilton?
And below it on the plaque:
“To the greatness of a man, a man who, against all odds, somehow never got fired.”
Yea, the one that has gone deeper into the NCAA tourney than Fran will ever sniff.
Seriously though, when you guys build your new arena it needs to have a eatery like Johnny's. That could help attendance. Probably call it 'Mother F'ing Cheaters'?
Was he known more for his and his teams' toxic behavior or winning some games?
Outside of Hilton? Hmm will have to take a look outside the next time I'm there.
No topping the former Iowa State Wrestler you all have outside Carver though
A testament to doing just enough to not get fired.
I'd call it "Free Bobbleheads and Pizza"
Seems to be the only thing that gets them to show up to mens games.
I hope he stays another 10 yrs, but Fran isn't half the coach that Tom Davis was.
Iowa fans have a tough go. FB with an arrogant tyrant running the show. Offense so bad it’s a national joke. Defense continually hung out to dry. Win enough games against bad teams to keep the gravy train rolling. BB an arrogant hot head who recruits way too many white guys. Wins just enough to avoid getting fired, but these kind of teams are never going to do damage in March.
It kind of seems like they are being held hostage in both sports. No real hope at major success, no real hope of anything changing. Just two old dudes that are going to hold on to their thrones and keep cashing checks as long as possible. I almost feel sorry for their fans…but then I remember that they are the worst fan base in the country so they probably deserve this. Purgatory can be worse than hell.
