Looks like the last of the McCaffery family and Iowa tales are finally here. With Fran having taken the basketball reins for the Hawkeyes 15 years ago, it had pretty much become the hub for the McCafferys. But one year was all it took to watch that crumble a piece at a time. Now, looks like the last of them is putting a lid on it, and with a seeming jab at the city. The eldest of the siblings, and Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend, Connor, couldn’t resist giving that a nod.
Fran and Margaret’s only daughter is graduating from the University of Iowa! She shared a post in celebration, surrounded by friends, and a champagne bottle popped. But it was the caption that caught the eyes. “The past 15 years in Iowa City couldn’t have ended worse so, thanks Iowa!” Marit McCaffery wrote.
Connor wasn’t letting that just slip away. “OG comment,” he nodded.
The furore began in Iowa City, where Fran McCaffery, father of Connor and Marit, was removed from Iowa’s head coaching position on March 4. The game against Illinois was his final game with the team, where Caitlin and Connor were present to show their support. Fran leaves as the program’s all-time wins leader (297), but never once reached the Sweet 16 under his watch.
Though his departure was confirmed, following a poor season, leaving the team after 15 years hit the family hard.
