Fleck a was just outcoached, outplayed and outadjusted by the first-time head coach of a 2-7 team. This is pound for pound one of the most talented rosters UMN has ever had. The writing is on the wall… even as a Fleck supporter, if we ever want to get serious again we fire him. Plain and simple.
All have more effective total offenses than ours (save for Iowa of course). Northwestern is too but Mike Bajakian’s salary isn’t available anywhere to reference.

Moreover, this offensive roster is not the third worst in the Big Ten.
Wasn’t aware - that’s awesome. But with Harbaugh it’s like putting lipstick on a pig. I guess my point is it’s confusing why we don’t we pay out a proven talent from the get-go, versus promoting a MAC tight ends coach to not only call plays, but coach the highest-touted QB in program history.

Can someone explain to me like I’m stupid why we find the money to extend Fleck year over year, yet we can’t scrape enough together to pay an above-average OC? Heck, I’d even take mediocre.
