Future potential of a team where they played mostly seniors. Lol.

It emptied after he was hired.

It makes zero sense. He is overpaid for his results and if he is canned next year (highly likely) you are in no better position and likely a worse one. Attendance will crater worse than it is unless he finds lightning in a bottle. If Coyle brings back Johnson and then he gets fired Coyle...

That is probably less than half of why Fleck is successful when it comes to NIL. Fleck promotes the program and NIL and that is the larger factor. All the things most of the media and the average Minnesotan finds annoying about Fleck (self promotion, quirky phrases, going on national...

Interesting response. Seems a bit over the top and irrational but since you are ignoring me (for discussing the counterpoints to the points you made) I guess it doesn't matter what I say. I usually enjoyed your posts but hey whatever makes your day better man.

He isn't blaming Ben Johnson for that, he is saying next year is going to be a disaster most likely meaning that Ben Johnson gets fired anyways so why wait?

Stop it. His whole tenure is relevant otherwise you risk the stupidity of making a decision based on very few reference points and that is almost always a disaster when it comes to sports. How many coaches cash in from small schools for the bigger job after a nice run in the NCAAs out of...

Good god your takes are terrible. Like awful. Sad even.

This post should be copied and pasted in every thread where people pretend things can't be better. Pitino was a mediocre coach here and deserved his fate but the program under him >>>>> program under Johnson. Pitino made postseasons, Pitino won an NIT, Pitino won an NCAA game. Pitino had a...

The Stars left in 1994.

As opposed to keeping around the coach who has shown he can, at best, coach ok for half a season? Let me ask you something...do you not want more wins for your investment? I mean aren't we overpaying for like 7 conference wins? No matter how much you pretend otherwise no one is pretending we...

Yup...and the truth is...viewership wasn't all that much better it was just easier for MSC or FSN to justify the coverage since they are regional networks. 125k Minnesotans watching a game between the Gophers and SCCC on a local network is way different than 150k people across a National...

Sorry but that is just not true. If his numbers over the course of 4 seasons are the worst that is more telling than if he has a season where he wins a few more games than a couple other coaches. Lets say over 4 years he averaged finishing in the bottom 3. Unless all three bottom dwellers are...

Yeah I remember when people on the old Gopher Hockey Board (POI) thought that when Sid said Basketball was bigger...and it just isnt the case. When Gopher basketball is good, it honestly owns the market. I remember under Clem when NIT runs were must see TV. I remember when in chats on GPL...

No we responded by saying Seth Davis has no idea what he is talking about...cause he doesn't. And that you are dying on this hill it proves you don't either. Since you cant find any real reason to defend Ben Johnson you basically try and mitigate his suck by saying it isn't his fault. Plenty...

What point do you think you are making? So people thought the team would be terrible...they are just "pretty bad" and somehow that shows Ben is a good coach who deserves to keep his job? That might work at Applebees but not in any job where performance matters. Two things can be true: 1) The...

Look hockey makes money and that is great (it is my fave sport) but more people watch reruns of Big Bang Theory than watch even the best hockey matchups. I know it sounds like I am exaggerating but I am pretty sure BTN was bragging that they got 159k people to watch a game a month or so ago...

I saw them last year...one of the best shows I have ever seen.

Well obviously Coyle hates the U of M since he is getting prominent national media types to bash us! :ROFLMAO:
