Hawkeyes’ worst season in 7 years prompts firing of Fran McCaffery, program’s all-time wins leaderMar 14, 2025 9:06 pm - Iowa has fired coach Fran McCaffery after the Hawkeyes won their fewest games and had their lowest Big Ten regular-season finish in seven years. The 65-year-old McCaffery was under contract through 2028 and said last week that he intended to return for a 16th season rather than retire. Athletic director Beth Goetz decided a change was in order amid declining attendance at Carver-Hawkeye Arena and will sign off on McCaffery's $4.2 million buyout. McCaffery was 297-207 at Iowa. He was fired on Friday.
