    Coyle view from a GH favorite

    That leadership just gave him a $300k/year bump through 2030. Seems like his strategy of marching to their tune has been more than bountiful for the AD.

    It does take a mutual interest to make something like this work. We can't abduct him at gunpoint and force him into a 5-year contract (I don't think).

    Fran-con Gone at Iowa

    Honestly? So would I.

    Fran-con Gone at Iowa

    Coyle could pull the ultimate troll job and hire Fran.

    Who do you think it'll be?

    Richard Pitino. He and Coyle will be like Ben and JLo, with a magnetic attraction to each other.

    Reusse: Unlike the Gophers’ coaching situation, the solution for Williams Arena is simple: Blow up The Barn

    If the U does want to keep the Barn and renovate it, they should look no further than Welsh-Ryan Arena in Evanston for direction on how to do it right. Northwestern gutted the place, reducing capacity and creating better sight lines, expanded the concourses and modernized facilities like...

    New Coach Short List

    Because they’ve purposely blocked the memory of his 43-94 (.314) record coaching their favorite NBA team.

    At 1:19am, 3.13.25. - The Ben Johnson Era has ended and Ben is fired

    I’m guessing so Johnson didn’t have to travel back home with his team after losing his job. That would’ve been unnecessarily uncomfortable for all involved.

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Charles has had this diatribe written and ready to go since March 2021. Hilariously predictable.

    That’s quite the kicker at the end, rendering the rest of the words written meaningless and a waste of time.

    New Coach Short List

    He isn’t even on the selection committee, that’s just what he tells his wife so he can disappear for a few days without her questioning him.

    If they won’t retire his jersey or hang the banners he was largely responsible for, they ain’t hiring him to be the coach. I think they’d rather hire Will Wade with his financial cheating past than dig up the academic cheating scandal BJack is tied to.

    COYLE FIRES BEN JOHNSON!!!!!!

    Ha! I’m a Packers fan so I’d have to be dead before I worked for the Bears. And not even then. I worked for a Minnesota team before moving to Chicago.

    Hole Poll: What grade would you give Mark Coyle in his decision to hire Ben Johnson as the Gophers coach?

    Look closer, this poll was grading the hire the day it happened in 2021.

    God, please no. His floor and ceiling aren’t separated by much. We need a bigger and bolder stroke.

    Hole Poll: What grade would you give Mark Coyle in his decision to hire Ben Johnson as the Gophers coach?

    I voted F on March 22, 2021 and I (along with many others who immediately called out the idiocy) was right. I really hope Coyle doesn’t ever make me vote F again on another one of his hires.

    Is Ben on it? They’re looking to replace an elite coach, and he has the pedigree.

    COYLE FIRES BEN JOHNSON!!!!!!

    But then Ben leaks it and starts shaping the narrative with his friendly local and national media guys. It’s PR 101 to control the message, and if that means the news is released at 1 am, then that’s what you do (I’m a longtime PR guy, with a local professional team, with agencies and large...
