I didn't say Fleck couldn't be successful at this poin in his career,, in fact I pointed out that he was extremely successful last year. My point was that he's made mistakes that he probably won't make 5 years from now or 10 years from now.

My point was that Fleck has less coaching experience than most of his counterparts, and in some cases, a lot less experience. But you knew that. Are you saying that after 15 years, Fleck should have caught up to Chryst and Ferentz and have it all figured out?

Paul Chryst is 55 years old, Tom Allen is 50, Jeff Brohm is 49. Jerry Kill was 50 when he took over as the Gopher HC. Fleck just turned 40. Kirk Ferentz got his first GA gig in 1977, so he's been coaching since before Fleck was born. Much like Pitino on the basketball side, when you hire...

Went to a game at Auburn in 2010, the year they won it all, and Cam won the Heisman. Ted Roof was their DC. Would highly recommend seeing a game there. Unbelievable atmosphere as you'd expect: hardcore fans in their motorhomes start showing up on Thursday evening. My son got to high-five...

From a recent update on the 247 site: "Duron was also suspended for the remainder of last year’s 2019-20 soccer season after a similar incident occurred on the field against crosstown rival Edinburg Vela."

Worse than on the previous drive that went against us? You can't call pass interference on an unscathed le ball and Plummer's pass barely cleared the LOS. Is this a joke? "We" didnt screw anybody

I don't think the bolded is the case anymore. Per 247, wisconsin's recent nat'l rankings: 2018 46 2019 29 2020 26 2021 16. Iowa's recent nat'l rankings: 2018 39 2019 41 2020 36 2021 23. We may have seen an uptick in recruiting under Fleck on a national level, but unfortunately, we...

WDE according to 247, with offers from michigan and PSU.

So sorry about your family's loss. At a funeral last week I heard a line that has stuck with me: "Grief is the price we pay for love." So very true.

Who needs the other more in this scenario? Can the B1G survive without little red? I'm going to guess, yes. Can little red survive without the B1G? Perhaps, but what conference would take them in after the state went all LA Law with the B1G? I'm guessing the B1G would have an easier...

Kyran Montgomery's decision coming this weekend. Accordibg to the article, it's down to the U and Mizzou: https://amp.indystar.com/amp/5701461002

My wife and I went to the Rockys in uptown a lot when we were younger. Loved the big chunks of sausage. Didn't they used to make heart shaped pizzas on Valentine's Day?

This post is sadly underappreciated.

I looked up Regis on ESPN and Rivals, and I'm confused--easily done. I know. On Rivals, he's listed as being 6'1", 290, and they rate him at 5.5. But as a TE not a DT. ESPN rates him a 78 as a DT, #37 at his position (247 rates him as #36 at DT). But they list him as being 6'2", 260, which...

Didn't mean to touch a nerve. As to the first part: if you look close enough, which I did one evening shortly after he was hired, you'd agree that Fleck was a star coaching prospect. The list of coaches who won a MAC football championship in their 30s is pretty short. It includes Woody...

Fleck absolutely was a rock star coaching prospect when Coyle hired him. Not sure there's a comparable coach out there right now on the basketball side. I would have been fine with bringing Smith on board, but his resume's not comparable to Fleck's.

The Rashod Ratio?

Given the home court collapses Pitino's been overseeing lately, maybe you're right, he could use some coaching tips. I don't that argues in favor of keeping him, however.

For my money, Fleck highlights Pitino's biggest shortcoming: the apparent lack of situational coaching. I don't see basketball players who "choke," I see players who have been poorly prepared at how to execute during crunch time. Players who don't attack the full-court press that everyone...
