    How about a new name for the football forum..

    Six national titles are ancient history. I'm all for being positive, but even Gopher Football Forum would be better. We need to look forward, not back to the good old days.

    Did calling out the team backfire?

    I get a sense that calling out the team a couple of weeks ago has backfired. Calling out players in a press conference doesn't seem like the best way to get players to play for you. Locker room yet, press conference no. Other thoughts?

    Iowa State beat Northern Illinois this year.

    Just for those looking at the record. Can anyone say he has better credentials than the guy we fired to start all of this? Glen Mason?

    This search firm has no leaks...

    The way the coaching search is proceeding is exactly the same as their other searches. Names are not made public, Maturi will do the interviews, and the coach named may well be someone NO ONE has brought up. I've seen them work a number of times,and they do a terrific job keeping the lid on...

    "Fat little girlfriends" Leach

    The women's groups on campus would love this guy....not. It would be interesting, but won't happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8MEMFtlreE&feature=related this one is a must watch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGh-6CaJzhQ&feature=related

    Ted Roof, Auburn DC

    Just heard another name being looked at, former Gopher DC Ted Roof. He first head coaching experience was not great, but he can build a defense. Much like current Auburn head coach Gene Chizik who flopped at Iowa State, he could be a guy who would flourish in his second stint at a head coach...

    It will be Marc Trestman

    Trestman will be the guy and he will be named within the next couple of weeks. Reasons: -he understands the culture at the U of M -he is a "Minnesota-Type" guy -he adapt to the Big 10 style of football -major donors are on his side -has a pipeline for recruits to both NFL and CFL Trestman...

    What do you expect from a Head Coach?

    If I were going to take a job here, i would want to know the expectations and timetable that's expected. Glen Mason went to bowls seven of his last eight seasons and Brewster went two of his 3 1/2 seasons. From my count, that is bowl games 9 out of the last 11 1/2 seasons. What does everyone...

    Best solution: Bring back Glenn Mason..

    Kansas State brought back Snyder and it's working. Bringing back the one coach who could win at Minnesota would make the most sense. He knows the players, would have a new admin that would support him, new stadium. With anyone else, we are looking at 4-5 years of being in the tank. I...

    Dan McCarney...

    Florida Asst HC, former Wisc def. coordinator, former asst, Iowa coach, former Iowa State Head Coach. He would have the experience and personality to do the job.

    Brewster whining is embarassing...

    When Woody Hayes was asked why he went for two when he had a good lead, he said "because I can't go for three." There are dozens of games where scores are being run up for BCS ratings, and no one says anything. Brew is back to his high school days complaining about us poor Gophers because...

    Bring back Glen Mason!

    He should have never been fired. Mason is gold compared to Brewster, let's get on hands and knees and beg him to come back. Wake up people.
