    Matt Rhule's new buyout is $71MM! Dude is 0-18 vs ranked opponents at Baylor and Nebraska

    Agreed, the market is what people are willing to pay. Now if some schools and their fanbases are upset that they can’t afford the price, that’s a you problem that those schools and fanbases need to address with fundraising for their programs. It isn’t the responsibility of financial...

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    this is the year if any for PJ to leave and get an upgraded position. A ton of good job openings and not a ton of proven winners. Not a good year to have a job opening if not a blue blood, those schools will all be fighting over table scraps

    This is a fireable offense

    I think it’s two things. 1. Like PJ says he isn’t for everyone, including coaches. 2. He doesn’t have the money to hire elite coaches. Most elite coaches have a dream of being a head coach but to do that they need elite talent to put up stats for the side of the ball they are coordinating...

    This is a fireable offense

    Not a ton more than Minnesota but again, has Iowa’s success been that much different or substantially better than Minnesota’s during the PJ tenure? Neither program is a serious contender to win the Big Ten. Are you wanting to scrap it all to try and hope to get a Ferentz level production(I.e...

    This is a fireable offense

    At some point you have to face reality. Little to no in-state talent, poor fan support and no big money donors. You have to fix those issues first otherwise you’re just shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic. There isn’t a Nick Saban walking into Huntington Bank stadium that could overcome...

    This is a fireable offense

    Do you really want to fire him with the jobs already open or likely to be open by seasons end. How many of those open jobs are worse than the gophers from a financial/NIL and in-state talent standpoint. Not many are worse which means the gophers aren’t likely to get a proven winner as a...

    PP: Would Gophers be left out of a college football ‘super league?’

    The point is that a tv contract for a “super league” would still include the MSP media market with or without the gophers as part of that league.

    PP: Would Gophers be left out of a college football ‘super league?’

    There are more than enough alums in MSP from schools that would for sure be in a super league that this market would still be available with or without the gophers. That and the fact that people in every market like watching blue blood teams play.

    RandBall: Where’s the money? Gophers budget shortfall raises questions

    Yep for all the undeserved accolades John Anderson got from the locals, he never took a team to Omaha. Most schools would not allow a coach to last for almost 40 years without achieving that of a major conference program. And as underwhelming as he was the program is trending even lower now...

    RandBall: Where’s the money? Gophers budget shortfall raises questions

    Cut men’s baseball. They haven’t been seriously competitive for a long time, and winning the occasional big ten and never making it to Omaha isn’t being competitive on a national scale.
