I am glad that Paul Chryst did not get this job for one reason. It would have been flat out embarrassing to see the reaction of Gophers fans if he did. Your fan base does not deserve a coach as good as Chryst and probably not as good as Kill either.
Won't it be fun to have a coach on the sidelines that can actually coach? That has a system? A set of ideals that he is going to stick to and try and build on? A staff that knows how to find the type of players that they can win with? The notion that this guy can't do it at this level is absurd. Of course he can. Nobody knows, but nobody knows about anyone that has not done it at this level will do until they try it. Hoke, Golden, any mid major coach that people were clamoring for you just don't know. Golden wins at Temple and he is good, Kill wins at UNI and he is bad? Please.
There was not a guarantee out there that was going to take this job. You can scream for Leach, NOBODY in big time football is going to hire him. No successful BCS coach is going to take this job. Just not going to happen.
He has found the type of player he needs to win at every level. There is no reason he can't find the type of player he needs to win in the Big 10. Cancel the rivals subscriptions, stop worrying about recruiting rankings and let the guy coach. I am actually rooting for the guy now because I think it is a joke the way he is being hammered by the fan base. My god, he brought his team in to TCF this year and kicked the Gophers all over the building, doesn't that say enough?
Give the guy a break.
