    Minnesota to Start Spring Practice on March 20

    I disagree with that comment. There's not a huge difference between open practice and the Spring Game. The biggest distinction lies in the number of plays run and the presence of live quarters. If you're trying to identify potential starters for the upcoming season, open practices provide that...

    Minnesota’s Corey Hetherman new defensive coordinator at Miami

    It’s true that he was considered, but Rutgers doesn’t have the financial resources that Miami does, and they weren’t willing to cover the $600,000 buyout.

    Minnesota’s Corey Hetherman new defensive coordinator at Miami

    I wouldn’t have any issue working under someone who’s dedicated to shaping young men into responsible citizens and strong individuals. When was the last time you heard about a player who spent 3-5 years under Fleck making headlines for the wrong reasons? If it has happened, it’s rare. The...

    Minnesota’s Corey Hetherman new defensive coordinator at Miami

    My sources indicate that Corey Hetherman wanted out even before Miami’s head coach made the call. While he did a great job as our defensive coordinator, he never fully embraced the culture at UM. It’s well known that PJ holds both his players and coaching staff to exceptionally high standards...

    Minnesota’s Corey Hetherman new defensive coordinator at Miami

    Fleck granted Miami's head coach permission to speak with Heatherman. If you know Fleck, you know he never stands in the way of his players or coaches advancing their careers or securing better financial opportunities. The hiring process moved quickly, and Danny Collins is now the new defensive...

    Shooter: Perich’s $250,000 name, image and likeness (NIL) deal this season should at least double for the Gophers football star’s sophomore season.

    Let’s just say I have a very reliable inside source. Unless the kid publicly speaks out, the chances of hearing this elsewhere are pretty slim. But I can assure you, those numbers are legit.

    Shooter: Perich’s $250,000 name, image and likeness (NIL) deal this season should at least double for the Gophers football star’s sophomore season.

    The settlement has already been finalized. He’s set to receive over $250K from the school, and Drake Lindsey is also getting $250K. Brown and Bryan will receive over $100K each. Essentially, if you started or played a key role on this year's team, you're getting six figures. For the backups and...

    2024-25 Gophers Football Transfer Portal Thread

    He should consider playing at the FCS level. The stats clearly show he's no more than a backup at the FBS level. If he can't get on the field at TT as a wide receiver, that's a problem, especially since they rotate their receivers frequently.

    2024-25 Gophers Football Transfer Portal Thread

    The bill has already passed, so you're right—the number for next year will be 105. He's already had the conversation with the players, so they mostly know what to expect. You can expect to see more players entering the portal for various reasons. Some, like walk-ons, may have no choice, while...

    GopherHolers: A Fleck temperature check

    OC is 80% is what's wrong with this team. His play calling is horrible. If I blame PJ for anything is keeping him around for another season. I was very critical of AK play last season and now I'm beginning to think it wasn't just him after all. Although the word on the street was AK wasn't a...

    The reason we lost

    Anything is better than last year. We definitely need to do the same thing here. Play was horrible last year and after 1st game nothing has changed

    The reason we lost

    We beat ourselves, point blank period. Had a turnover reversed bc of a holding call by the safety. Had a critical 3rd down stop reversed by hands to the face call. Run play gained positive yards and get a holding call inside 30 seconds of the final quarter. I'm not mad at the missed FG in final...

    This was really good. I believe this program is heading in the right direction and I also believe this 2024 team shock a lot of people.
