    New Coach Short List

    My list Dutcher : just ask, won't happen Wade: want to ask, probably can't Odom: successful at every stop, slowly working his way up. Would he take it? McCollum: only 1 year at D1 is interesting but he's a winner and the hot name. Younger guy with Midwest roots who might stick around a long...

    COYLE FIRES BEN JOHNSON!!!!!!

    Not that I'm shocked, but it's minnesota sports, so glad he actually did it. As far as timing, I think people are REALLY over thinking this. I'm sure he waited for them to get back, talked to him and then put it out ASAP. Along with that, 1. Who cares about the timing, it's 2025, everyone...

    ESPN's Jeff Borzello: "As of time of publish, it seems Ben Johnson is likely to get another year at Minnesota."

    Interesting that many here seem to be out on Niko and Tauer due to lack of P5 experience but McCollum is the hottest name in the country and he has 1 year at D1 and the rest at D2. I'm not a huge Tauer or Niko guy, but they would both have FAR superior resumes to what Johnson has. Experience at...

    Johnson: “I have some personal pride that I’ll be the only minority coach in the league. I take that with a badge of honor."

    Reading is hard I know....IF HE STAYS AS COACH FOR NEXT YEAR. Yes I want him fired in saying if he is retained for next year they have to make it. 🤡

    Johnson: “I have some personal pride that I’ll be the only minority coach in the league. I take that with a badge of honor."

    I'm also going to wait, this is just hearsay. That said, if they keep CBJ, then it's just not him but Coyle who's job is on the line. I'm a bigger Coyle supporter than most but if you keep this coach around for a 5th year, then it's your job too. And I'd say then there should be a 100%...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Fair, but sometimes those kids go off the board quickly too. Agreed with the general sentiment of many that it's less important to worry about the super early portal than it is to get the right guy. Also when talking about new coaches at new places, literally every school is different. Utah...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT RUTGERS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Well...I can't actively root against the Gophers, but it appears we are locked into the 11v 14 game no matter what. Win 11 lose 14. So if it's the same outcome, but a loss helps an awful coach out the door....

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    I think this is an excellent point. If Coyle keeps CBJ and its not a vast improvement, I think that puts Coyle on the block too. If he gets a new coach in a weird way I think that buys himself a longer leash as well.

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    Yah like I said he gets credit for the talent acquisition on that team for sure. I just can't continue to buy "well we were picked last for the 4th straight year and we didn't finish last every year, he must be good!" argument, I guess that's not my baseline of success 🤣

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    I'll play devils advocate to your devils advocate. We weren't even on the bubble with a team that had: A starting pg on a top 10 team this year A sg who put up 16 ppg at his last spot and was thought to be our 2nd best player this year A SF who was drafted A PF who was one of the better...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Jensen is obviously a specific to Utah hire so a bit hard to say how much I like it because Jensen here isn't a thing. In terms of for Utah, assuming like Kevin Young at BYU, he brings his super wealthy boosters along its a HR hire. If those boosters don't come through it might not be that...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    I get it, this doesn't change results but at least something. Poor ol Ben just says shucks darn it just wasn't out night I guess.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    For those saying an in season firing was pointless (at the beginning of the year I agreed), Miami and Utah already found their coaches. Guess that idea is out.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    True, but that has almost 0 to do with the Gophers. That's OSU PSU MICH. It's such an interesting topic. How much does the U pull in if the football team went 1-11 vs 11-1? What about the basketball team? Hockey team? Because of our conference affiliation, we will always have the max money to...

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    Yes and no. Some of the issue is NIL/NCAA is still the wild west. One day you have to spend equally, next day you don't. Under the assumption that you don't have to follow title ix, every school is going to do it differently. We have hockey, some don't, other schools have elite programs in...

    ***OFFICIAL wisconsin AT MINNESOTA SENIOR NIGHT (JOHNSON'S LAST HOME GAME?) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Tough loss because it was the easy things that got us beat. No movement on offense, poor FT shooting, and a truly odd decision to switch all 5 spots on defense. It's almost like the coaching mattered....

    I dont complain about refs because it usually balances out but that is a charge and the 5th on Tonje 100% of the time. That's awful

    ***OFFICIAL wisconsin AT MINNESOTA SENIOR NIGHT (JOHNSON'S LAST HOME GAME?) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Auto switching our guards onto their centers and bigs onto their guards on defense, while 4 guys watching 1 guy try to shake and bake on offense is why I don't need to see a CBJ coached team again.
