It helps a lot that they have a football coach instead of a life coach.

Meh, they’ve been very good at pumping guys into the NFL annually so class ranking kinda feels irrelevant. While the talent level could and needs to go up (this current class and last year’s are steps in the right direction) to breakthrough into the playoff, I actually think the approach on game...

The way this has been forced into the sports world has been really weird. Can’t say I care about what a football coach thinks of the current state of the country.

When Fleck says “it falls on me” it really does feel empty doesn’t it? I think a lot of us like the direction the program is heading from a development and overall talent standpoint but games like last night are the type where you wonder whether Fleck can really graduate from being a 7-8 win...

Just really proud of what PJ stands for and the type of young men he’s playing a part in developing. The program is very much a reflection of everything he said it would be from early on and I think we’re getting to a point of sustaining how competitive we can be with the top two tiers in the...

His talent ID was very good and a fair few guys he got in on early have turned out to be great players/some NBA guys. Had Ryan Dunn on campus before he went to Virginia, Danny Wolf visited if I remember, obviously Cam Christie was quite the pull, won’t be a popular opinion but Ben might have...

Bigger question will be whether he can sustain after what is looking like it's going to be a rough transition year.

If you’re on a fan forums you’re already someone who follows things closer than the majority of people. If the Gophers get to be competitive again, start getting some votes for the top 25, we’re all going to be back to following any and everything. Winning cures all, I know I wouldn’t care 😅

With the crazy money BYU is throwing around and them having a model that keeps them competitive in the big two sports every year, feel like that would be the better direction to go than UofU.

“At the end of the day, when you’re winning games, people want to be a part of that,” Coyle said. It begins and ends with that. PJ finished in the top 10 and locals have been lining up ever since. There’s been such an emphasis on bringing someone in who can keep local players home out of the...

I would think this is a reflection of them not having the money to attract the quality of coach they want as much as anything. The reasons for firing him are obvious, that goes without saying. In the long run, change for change's sake doesn't benefit you either, just puts you on the hook for 4-5...

No matter how you slice it, the importance of having NFL experience on your resume as a coach can’t be understated. I think Winston ends up back in college in some capacity in the not too distant future. Like PJ, his energy and seemingly his motivation to coach sound like someone who is more...

The sport needs villains.
