Less than 50% of Big Ten teams have won 10 games since 2020. That the ACC and Big 12 have numerous 10 game winners in in conferences that are extremely inconsistent on a year by year basis due to parity doesn't hold water to me, at least. I surmise we'd be far more successful in those conferences as well.2/3 of the power 4 has a 10 win season post 2020
Minnesota doesn’t.
Point being, even bad coaches seem to win 10 games more recently than fleck
I am not a fire fleck guy. But if you go until 2028 and never get to 9 regular season wins…would be hard for anyone to say just give it more time and it’ll happen. I don’t think it’s that hot of a take to say if Mn goes two more years without Minnesota finishing in the top 25 (9-3 would probably do it) it may be time to evaluate what flecks ceiling is in this era and if it’s good enough.
I’m not asking to be a national title contender. I’m asking to be in the top 25 once every 5 years.
