I haven’t really said he won’t lose his job, but I agree with others, even if he has a total collapse this year I think he’d still be...

Why do you have a right to expect 9 or 10 win seasons, in the new Big Ten, going forward like that can be a regular thing for a program...

This is a systemic University of Minnesota problem, my post isn't directed at you directly, but I get a kick out out of all this fire...
