Here's Fran's (brief) press conference from last night:

And for comparison's sake, here's Beilein after a National Championship game loss:

Actually I think the PF were 13 to 13, however there were plenty of missed calls against Iowa.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:14 PM ^
I hope Fran continues to be Iowa's coach for a long, long time
He'll never have a player better than Garza again, and it didn't even matter
February 26th, 2021 at 12:21 PM ^
Right. This is Iowa’s absolute ceiling. It’s already over for them.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:19 PM ^
CORK IT, FRAN
February 26th, 2021 at 12:19 PM ^
Fran McCaffery got upended and had his knickers shaken for loose change last night. You'd be salty, too. He has a mug and complexion that the gods created to show anger; he's only fulfilling his cosmic destiny.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:21 PM ^
Fran is realizing that even in a career year he's a second-tier B1G coach, and Garza realized if he can get a shot over Dickinson, he's not getting anything over NBA players. Rough day for both of them.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:23 PM ^
Turns out you really do have to teach both offense and defense, Little Fran.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:24 PM ^
Great win and a class act by the Michigan Wolverines!
Fran, you are a POS and I can only hope your team gets bounced round 1 of the tourney.
Fuck Iowa(From someone born, raised, and currently living in Iowa)
February 26th, 2021 at 12:29 PM ^
I keep trying to like Fran but it is definitely a challenge.
Acting so salty is not good for the blood pressure. Neither is getting your ass kicked.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:36 PM ^
Indeed....That is Fran on and off the court. No need to try to like him, just accept him as a POS
Lots of quiet Iowa Hawkeyes in office today and its fantastic.
February 26th, 2021 at 5:00 PM ^
Are there ever loud Iowa people?
February 26th, 2021 at 6:32 PM ^
I beg to differ. He wasn’t salty, he was sulky.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Fran flat refusing to do part of his job (telling reporters what happened in the game in his view) because he's sad is actually awesome. I love having this entitled asshole who refuses to give consideration to defense in the league.
Fran Today, Fran Forever.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:42 PM ^
I agree. I enjoyed watching him suffer.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:38 PM ^
They got curb stomped on national TV and he probably entered the game thinking they could take it. Class or poise is not a prerequisite for coaching at Iowa.
Yeah, its tough when a couple of offensive possessions don't go you way.
Hilarious...
February 26th, 2021 at 12:39 PM ^
Iowa is a 4 letter word.
Then again, so is Fran.......
February 26th, 2021 at 12:41 PM ^
Look at his wiki
February 26th, 2021 at 12:46 PM ^
i rarely find that stuff amusing...but that one's pretty good.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:52 PM ^
That is good. I wonder how long it stays there. I mean, facts are facts.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:04 PM ^
LOL, sometimes the truth is the funniest.
"Francis John McCaffery[1] (born May 23, 1959) is whiney poo-poo head, an American college basketball coach, and"...
I'd be very pleased to find out one of his sons did the above wiki edit.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:00 PM ^
Thanks for the laugh. I'd screenshot and post but that's more effort than I care to give to make fun of a whiney poo-poo head.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:42 PM ^
The guy’s just pissed that it’s very clear he’s reached his ceiling, and like most years, his team falls apart down the stretch relative to expectations. His program has reached its ceiling. He has the best player to have ever come through his program, the guy is a senior, is probably going to win the Naismith, and it just didn’t matter last night. His best player got punked by a freshman. He ran into a team that is clearly better than his in every facet of the game, and there was just nothing he could do about it.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:44 PM ^
mccaffrey tears - and they are legion - are fucking delicious.
my favorite 'fran is a dickhead' moment from the night was him patting his kid on the forearm while the team doc checked him out on the court. it had all the warmth and caring you'd expect to see from the guy.
izzo is the biggest turd in college basketball, but when he's in a good mood he can be about 0.0001% amusing. AND, he's got banners and rings. not so with fran. he's just a dick without accomplishments.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:46 PM ^
Poor guy didn't have the refs on his side this time.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
Holy cow, that is one hell of a FT discrepancy!
February 26th, 2021 at 12:48 PM ^
Bruh, you mad?
Teach some defense.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:50 PM ^
Added to his limited production Garza’s lack of sportsmanship is not what the pro scouts want to see when evaluating his character.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:54 PM ^
to be fair, that kind of felt like a Harbaugh presser after a loss, or after a haircut, or on a Tuesday.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:55 PM ^
"Little credit"?
How about no credit! The only thing he even said was that "He (Wagner) was driving the ball, quite a bit".
Soooo salty!
Defeated but not with dignity.
Piss off, Franny.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:57 PM ^
Hi, Fran.
February 26th, 2021 at 12:58 PM ^
Fran? Never heard of her.
Anyways - we will get all the credit we deserve when we win again Indiana, Illinois, State, the B10 Tourney and The National Championship. Still a long road but this team has "it".
February 26th, 2021 at 12:59 PM ^
Fran is still gold when it comes to opposing coaches. Dude is entertaining if nothing else.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:06 PM ^
What a douchebag. He was crying all game too.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:08 PM ^
Who cares. We won
February 26th, 2021 at 1:10 PM ^
Wow, as someone who follows a professional team (unfortunately) coached by John Tortorella, I can say I've seen that presser 100 times before and it literally never gets *less* childish to see it each time.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:23 PM ^
He's still coaching??? Good Lawd...
February 26th, 2021 at 2:20 PM ^
If you can call putting 3/4 line grinders out for 19 minutes a night while guys like Patrik Laine get 14 "coaching", then, yes.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
I didn’t hear the answer on what Michigan did defensively, even though Fran said it had been asked and answered.
a good coach would say they got outcoached. Izzo would complain about players not making plays that were there. I have no idea what his answer means, other than we got our asses kicked and I’m afraid to say it.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:31 PM ^
The unanswered question was "why so few Iowa assist".
The answer was that "Garza was exposed" and Franny couldn't bring himself to admit it in public.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:27 PM ^
I willing to grant him at least some leeway because of the two injured players, including his son. Still, neither injury was caused by a foul or dirty play, and it's his job to man up and be responsive in the post game presser.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:59 PM ^
You are granting him leeway for being a classless asshole who can’t accept defeat?
February 26th, 2021 at 1:29 PM ^
Whoa, what a jerk. Started with a snarky, obnoxious answer and ended with a snarkier one. Classless.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:32 PM ^
That is one unhappy man!
February 26th, 2021 at 1:32 PM ^
That is one unhappy man!
February 26th, 2021 at 1:33 PM ^
It's tough being undressed on national TV, and tough watching your POY candidate undressed on national TV.
Fran mad, so sad, too bad.
February 26th, 2021 at 1:36 PM ^
Wow that dude needs a hug
February 26th, 2021 at 1:43 PM ^
c u next tuesday
February 26th, 2021 at 1:47 PM ^
Fran is still infuriated that they picked Fran Allison over him for the part in Kookla, Fran, and Ollie.
