I do think it's more likely we win a game than not, but I'm almost pulling for winless with how pissed I am at this program.

Maybe Medved would just be the right fit for Minnesota, but Colorado State has not had a good year and I do think there's a difference now between coaches that have benefitted and become more valuable from the transfer portal rules, and those that may be solid basketball coaches but have taken a...

If we don't get the Ohio State game, it's going to be a lonnnnnnggggg wait. Ben has to have his eyes on that Washington game. One of the biggest games in the Ben Johnson era.

Are we the worst P5 team in the country right now? No joke.

Yeah never say never...but it ain't happenin' here at Minnesota.

Can you imagine? Holy Jesus That would be the Home Run of Home Runs. Retires from Villanova...takes Minnesota job haha. I like the sound of that.

Fair enough, just get 'em on the schedule. It'd be a fun game every year. If you're the Gophers and you're so worried about losing, just win the game....And if you can't, that's all we need to know about the coaches and players we currently have.

Ben just has such a loser's mentality. Worried about losing this, scared of this, we could never beat this team, etc. It's already been decided if that's the way you're going to think. So damn sick of it. It's embarrassing this guy got the job and has held it for 4 years.

UST and Gophers should be set in stone every year. The "nothing to gain" mindset from the Gophers side is ridiculously soft. What do you have to gain from playing North Texas...

Intrigued by the Arkansas St. guy. Young - 37 years old. Win at Memphis like you said, then at UAB as well.

No to Crean. No to Ryan Saunders. And no to an NBA assistant with no college experience as a HC. Smith and Medved, more Tier 2 guys but I'll accept those hats in the ring.

Huh?

Drake played 7 guys. 3 guys went the full 45 MIN (including OT) See if they can keep it up all year.

Right. It's just crazy that hire was made 4 years ago. And the results have actually been as terrible as the hire was. Hate to say that about Johnson, but it's just the truth.

For those that are anti-Coyle, seems to me his hires have all been pretty well reasoned and have turned out OK for the most part. The Johnson one was an anomaly and really confusing in my mind. But if you look at all of the others: Fleck - History of Success Motzko - History of Success Dawn...

Yeah I suppose I won't fully disagree there, but McCollum is sure off to a nice start in D1 after dominating at the D2 level. No doubt he can coach. Can he do everything required at the Big 10 level? Not sure but I'd be willing to take that shot right now. We'll see how the year finishes out...

McCollum would be the Fleck type hire. Didn't think we had a shot to get 'em, but we did. Bring him in! (Wouldn't mind if he performed a little better than Fleck though)

I'm not opposed haha. She would never but it's an interesting name.

This has bothered me from the get go with Ben. Soft.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him take a D3 gig or even a high school. Basketball is still pretty honest at those levels. Agreed on the burnout and I don't think he wants any more of what the high level D1 looks like right now.
