Just remember. If you use PJ’s numbers this is year 0 for Niko.

This deal with Niko has been in the works for quite some time. No secret Thorson was was put in charge after Ben was let go. He’ll be on the bench next season.

If Bleeds happy. I’m happy! 😁

On the surface and in the short term A. In the long term 🤷🏻

Down by 40 at one time hammered by 27? I don’t think he had to make it that obvious he wants to stay in San Diego. Has he gotten a call from anyone yet?

Melon wakes up on wrong side of bed.

Agreed. Frank was serviceable at end of the season but I have to believe there’s available bigs out there to fill his spot.

Of course I’m right. I’m an old SOB that thinks he knows everything.🧐

Possible, but I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

Niko’s already agreed to a deal with Minnesota. It won’t change a thing.

He hates everyone and everything.

I might be off track here, but I thought Thorson was considered a good coach, especially with the younger players.

Now it's a done deal!

Chances for a black quarterback even then was nil.

Thorson was with Niko at Drake and CSU. I don't think it's a coincidence that Thorson was keep on with the Gophers after BJ's firing. I may be wrong, but all this points to Thorson sitting on the bench with Niko next season.

I assume from their past history; it was predetermined that Thorson will stay with Niko.

I don't know the legalities of all this, but if assume Niko is the guy, is CSU in the loop on this? Are they going to go on speculation to start their new coaching hire? If their pissed, you can't just fire him as I assume that might affect the buyout from Minnesota.

Yup. Niko can't talk to the players...Thorson can. Smart to keep Thorson on as I'm sure the deal with Niko was made quite a while ago.
