Why PJ flack is the correct coach for Minnesota..


you're right Indiana did it so every team in big ten that hasn't made playoff should fire coach to hopefully get cignetti type and a heisman candidate at qb. Hadn't thought of this before but now that you bring it up it's really a great idea
The truth really rubs you Fleck fan boys the wrong way doesn't it.
 

Minnesota needs some rich ass alumni, or someone with connections to the area to step up and donate some serious money. If not now, when? Never is the answer.
We do have wealthy alumni and some wealthy former athletes. We have fortune 500 companies at our doorstep. I am not sure why they are not donating but there are some lazy reasons in this forum lol.
 

I don't expect the Gophers to be consistently great but do i expect them to be more competitive year in and year out. Its easy to cherry pick games and statistics to bolster an argument while ignoring the reality. While I expected to lose to Ohio St. and Oregon I wasn't prepared to be outclassed in that manner. Those games highlighted the huge gap in talent and coaching the Gophers face with those teams. It puts an expectation of making a CFP out of reach at this point which it unexceptable in my opinion.
You conveniently omitted Flecks record versus Iowa which is more of a rival than Nebraska is. This years lose to them was embarrassing especially when you consider the talent gap between Minnesota and Iowa is considerably closer if not on an even level. That game was essentially over in the 1st quarter with Fleck and his team looking completely unprepared.
Im sorry but beating the F%$ out of the Badgers isn't enough in my book.
Who do you think would come here and be a better coach? Do you think James Franklin, Brian Kelly would do better than PJ? I don't think they would be.

We are winning games in a rebuilding year. Until we get some serious money from a cubes like figure we should not really be comparing to Indiana and there will be up and down years.

I suspect this is Jerry Kill posting as there are never any good recommendations or points just complaints of how bad things feel.
 



No one expected to be outclassed by tOSU and Oregon yet everyone counted them as losses before the season began. Pretty sure that would support everyone thought we were outclassed.

Yesterday there was a 6-5 team against a 4-7 team. Game played in freezing temperatures and snow on a holiday weekend. Place still nearly sold out. That is 100% on Fleck and his relationship with players, students and season ticket holders.


Next year
Mississippi state
Iowa
Michigan
Northwestern
UCLA
Akron
Eastern Illinois

All come trying to break the streak.
 

Fleck's first nine years, 7 in the B1G West < Ferentz's first 9 years, not in the B1G West.

You're comparing apples and rutabagas. The world has changed since that time.
Yes. It was easier to win the conference before divisions
 

Barry Alvarez’ 1994 big ten title the badgers didn’t beat either team in the top 3 with them.
That can’t happen with divisions.

2000 northwestern big ten champ had against the other 3 in the top 4 with them.

So much easier to win pre Nebraska addition.
Perhaps easier to win 8-9 games after but that’s kind of year to year.

People act like once it was east-west you missed people all the time and before east-west you never missed people. But neither of those things is true.
