I think it'll be Jim Leonhard or Tony White

The younger hungry ones got offended (some of them saw it as a kick in the butt and some of them saw it as writing on the wall) but people 40+ didn't give a crap if it didn't impact their salary.

I've tried to sell that to people I've demoted as well.

You also need REALLY good receivers and QB play to be successful with the West Coast Offense. A guy like Drew Brees is brutal to play in that system because every pass is on point and it's really hard to stop, so you're kind of just waiting for a receiver to drop a pass, a ball to be tipped at...

The bold is precisely the problem. Comparing the football and basketball programs is insane. The Gopher football team has finished over .500 5 times in in the Big 10 since he has been the coach. The basketball team has had a winning conference record 3 times in the last 27 years. They aren't...

I think our inability to run the ball is partially due to the west coast offense. It's just not a scheme I like in college football. I hate the short passing game. In the college game, with the west coast offense, I don't think anyone is particularly concerned about being beat over the top...

Going out like a coward isn't going to help his future prospects. So yeah, he made a bad bet on his future when all he had to gain was a slightly less bruised ego.

You have a tendency to make arguments against points that no one is making. Again, I am not blaming Niko. I agree we need to give him time to get out of the hole that the program is in. My argument is simply this. . .the lack of a massive NIL program is not an excuse for incompetence. The...

You're pretending that the changing landscape makes these kinds of results inevitable. There are plenty of programs who are similarly-situated who have competent programs. Does the new landscape make it harder to compete for championships? Absolutely. Does it make competency impossible? Nope.

Yeah, I posted in this thread that if you're a bad team and you have injuries, you're cooked. I'm not sure what that has to do with NIL. I haven't bashed Niko yet, but I can say that we are a bad team. I can also say that it's okay to have expectations for him regardless of us not being a NIL...

The sad thing is that Wisconsin thinks they're a big brother.

Yep and the 1 year he stayed healthy, we were two plays away from being 10-2. I also think it involves more than 1 player.

PJ Fleck has single-handedly destroyed Badger football.

And that's just his name.

I think our best bet to have a run like Indiana is to stay consistently decent and catch lightening in a bottle. I understand why people would disagree with me and think you need to aggressively make your own luck.
