    Was firing Johnson the right decision by Coyle?

    Coyle and UofM administrators involved should be on the hotseat for hiring Whalen and CBJ.

    STrib: An uncertain future, yet hope for Gophers coach Ben Johnson, who foresees a program with more resources

    Is this revenue sharing source considered NIL or is there NIL too?

    STrib: An uncertain future, yet hope for Gophers coach Ben Johnson, who foresees a program with more resources

    Is the revenue shared with other than men's FB/BB, e.g. hockey, and the woman's programs.

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    Maybe CBJ was a DEI hire but that's not his fault. CBJ didn't hire himself. Hating CBJ is misdirected. The hate should go to Coyle (no guts to oppose his wife and the board) and the board who was supposedly behind the insistence in hiring CBJ.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    You said: "Nobody is asking for Kentucky level recruits. What we are asking is for our team to have a shot at a sweet 16 run, not unfeasible. We had it with Pitino, and we had it with Tubby." Did you mean to say Clem Haskins who actually made to the S16 and final 4.

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

    Why can both gopher hockey and Wild sell out. Same sport. I think that's what you're implying. Possibly a minor reason. NBA and Gophers are a different crowd.

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

    Williams used to seat 16,000 until 1993, the last major renovation. 1981/82 average attendance 16,000+, last B10 championship. Average attendance 4 years, 1990 thru 1993 14,500 to 15,500. There are no stats between 93 and 99 due to the seasons that never happened and paper-writing scandal...

    Rick Pitino loves himself some Rick Pitino

    What I hate is the Gopher BB program losing for 24 years. The head coaches didn't hire themselves but the athletic directors and the administration hired/fired/allocated funds for the coaches. In the tradition of "the buck stops here" the AD and school administrators are responsible. They...

    Turned Corner & Smashed Into Tom Izzo Built Wall

    Gopher's b10 record > 500: since 1990: 8 of 34 years - 24%; since 2000 - 3 of 24 - 12% 2016 - 11-7 2004 - 10-6 2001 - 9-7 1997 - 16-2 1996 - 10-8 1995 - 10-8 1994 - 10-8 1990 - 11-7

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Agree with your assessment of Izzo, but the current Izzo started around 2000. McCaffrey was born with his behavior.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    The ref's let them play during the Oregon game. There were a lot of no-calls going both ways. Doubt that'll be the same at MSU with Izzo on the sidelines. Izzo expects calls to go MSU's way and they refs know it.

    What is Coyle's, "keep Ben, win tally?"

    What's Coyle's skin-in-the-game as far as success of the men's bb team? Same for the UoM administrators. Don't remember seeing any of those people at bb games. If those people have a say-so in the administration of the program, e.g. CBJ needs to be hired since he fits their desired background...

    Souhan: The problems with the men’s program began with disgraced athletic director Norwood Teague.

    When they made Jim Dutcher resign as head BB coach after 3 players were accused of sexual assault in Madison, WI, during a trip to play the Badgers. All 3 players were acquitted of all charges. Dutcher was a good coach and person. Then came Clem Haskins, also forced to resign after the...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    There may be some culpability other than CBJ, e.g. Coyle and UofM administration. However, all the other schools are subjected to the same rules as UofM/CBJ and those schools are not all tied with the gophers in last place. Those other coaches/schools recruited different players, hired...

    Shooter: Alumni and assorted boosters are pushing Ryan Saunders, the ex-Gopher who is an assistant for the Denver Nuggets, for the Gophers head job.

    Same people that wanted to hire CBJ? No-thanks! And that group includes Coyle and the UofM administration, that by-the-way never attend gopher basketball games.

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

    Attended the game and there were > 3,000. In section 108 (center court behind scorer's table) first 5 rows there were approximately 30 empty seats. Best seats in the arena.

    Would Bakary Konate be a reasonable hire?

    CBJ was an assistant under Pitino from '13 to '18 when those players were on the roster. Would like to know the substance of conversations between CBJ and Pitino about those players.

    A qualifying list of potential replacements

    Agree, let Coyle do the job of hiring the next head coach. He still is responsible for the 2 failed basketball hires regardless of the speculation that he was forced to hire CBJ and Linday Whalen. Still question his ability on the baseball side of the athletic department. He let Pitino...
