The U does. And are you really asking who? The local media loves going after the U for everything when it comes to athletics. Christ Channel 9 did a friggin expose on the hockey team drinking at a bar once! I am not saying it makes any sense but the amount of bad press that would come from...

Its not BS it is true and you know it. The U would never hire him. NC State doesn't care just like their big brother school doesn't care. (and most of the NCAA) You might think the reasoning is BS and I might agree with you but the U would never even call Wade because the media would eat them...

That was the word and part of Ben got the job. Problem is sucking up to the AAU coaches doesn't mean they will get players to play here.

To be fair it's probably easier to defend MWC teams than Big Ten squads...same with offensive scheming I bet. I think Richard is at the perfect level for the way he coaches.

Do you post anything except sky is falling stuff about Niko?

So we are just assuming that his wife wants to move back to West Virginia and her father has enough sway to force WVU's hand even though he didn't 12 months ago? Man I thought it would take longer for people to think Medved is now out of our league...

No the coach did that...not that wrestling is "relevant" to most of people anyways.

I mean Gopher Hockey is definitely irrelevant...it's been a whole 2 years since they played in the National Title Game and have won 3 of the past 4 Big Ten Titles. (Tied this year) If only the basketball team was that irrelevant!

Now what will everyone whine about?

I am sorry but this seems like a bit of cope to me. Everything bad was Ben and nothing because of Thorson? The same Thorson who was supposed to be there to teach Ben how to be a coach because of his vast experience? Sorry that dog won't hunt. If Niko keeps Thorson that is his choice and that...

All of this.

In and of itself probably not. But if you are the person in charge of building the roster it will inform how you go about building it.

These are the type of people who, if they were trapped in an elevator that is going to fall and kill them, are too chicken[bleep] to try something to save themselves because it might also kill them.

I am sure it has...but NIL doesn't count in the budget because NIL is controlled by a third party not the school. Seriously...you have to stop. Doubling down on a bad take doesn't make it better. You misread the data and now you think you can just try and BS your way to having it make sense...

How are these coaches not already hired? I thought Coyle was the only crappy AD who didn't have his coach locked up weeks ago? :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO:

Probably catching up on the podcasts saying the Gophers won't fire Ben Johnson and can't compete!

I dont think we will have to prove anything. I think if they make a serious offer he will take it unless he is waiting for another job. In a just world you would be right, but the fact is very few coaches will stay at Mid-Majors when offered the chance at a major conference, even an awful school.

And what would be hilarious is the same people hating the idea now would use it as proof the U hates basketball if he gets hired somewhere else and is successful.

Then we should be glad you aren't making the decisions. A hire like that gets Coyle canned and I bet season tix tank. You have no idea if he can do the non-coaching aspects of the job let alone coaching college style ball. But if he is so great he must be atop everyone's list right? Lots of...

Because hiring coaches is only one aspect of the job? They would have to pay me twice that just to deal with irrational fans like us. Just in the past two weeks: Coyle sucks cause he hasnt fired Ben (after every loss ) Coyle sucks because he is obviously using the media to drum up support for...
