    What grade would you give the Gophers coaching in the embarrassing loss to Northwestern?

    F all the way. PJ and his staff looked like a bunch of bad high school coaches and blew what should have been one of the easiest games on the schedule. The meltdown included both an offensive and defensive collapse against a very bad team that won't win more than 4 games this year. This game...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT NORTHWESTERN BOUNCE BACK IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This is an absolute disaster - just speechless but this one's on the coaching staff.

    Arrivals of West Coast schools could cause Big Ten to depart from its traditional smashmouth style

    The Gophers have become a very good cold weather and elements team and that can be a great equalizer especially later in the year. Teams can still come in and win with superior talent, but they need to be able to adapt to cold or windy conditions that they may not be very used to. There are some...

    Buffs - Coach Prime

    The Colorado-Nebraska game will be very interesting to watch and I am looking forward to it. I think Colorado comes in overconfident and everyone has told them how great they are all week. Can they continue to ride this wave or does reality set in and they come crashing down?? I think Nebraska...

    One of the Overlooked Benefits of Last Night's Win

    Geez -- that sucked. Watching Tanner Morgan running around frantically trying to get a play off while the clock bled to zero was excruciating to watch. That's not good football. I especially liked it when the Gophers went with a hurry up play even though it wasn't a huge success. They just might...

    SI: 5 things that stood out in the Gophers' thrilling win over Nebraska

    Our defense looked very good and it is fun to watch this unit really thrive and take over a game when we needed them. Nubin and Walley made big plays when we needed them and it was nice to see the defensive line give some pressure and some sacks. - Our offense needs to get better, especially in...

    Nebraska Week 1 Simulation

    You are right -- for some reason I thought they played Colorado before our game. Well -- that's a plus anyways!!

    Shooter: Although Brian Dutcher is loyal to SDSU, the Gophers would be expected to consider him coaching change, which seems likely, after this year

    The Gophers should have signed Dutcher 2-3 coaching searches ago, if they could. They didn't. I think the basketball team is getting better talent-wise and I think the team will improve this year. As long as the team is getting better, I think we should stay the course and try to build around...

    Nebraska Week 1 Simulation

    If you simulated this game 10 times, you would get 10 different results. I am looking forward to a good game vs, the Huskers but I hate playing a conference team that has already played one game before we get to play a tune up game. Anyone who thinks this will be an easy game is mistaken, but...

    ***OFFICIAL NFL DRAFT WEEKEND THREAD - HOW MANY GOPHERS WILL GET DRAFTED!!!***

    I made a bet a month ago with a co-worker that Mo Ibrahim would get drafted -- he said he wouldn't get drafted at all and be a free agent. I think I am going to win this one. Just a small bet but I will be happy when he gets drafted by someone today. A little "football guru prestige" is also on...

    the buffaloes are stampeding

    It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds. The talent upgrade should help immediately, but your team needs time to develop and work together, especially the linemen. You could also see hard feelings if his son struggles much the same as the little league coach who wants his son to bat...

    the buffaloes are stampeding

    I look back to when Lou Holtz came to Minnesota - we had an even worse team than Colorado's team last year. We didn't lose 41 players -- he worked with what he had and immediately started turning it around. Bottom line -- I think a REAL coach can coach up the players he has and recruit more as...

    the buffaloes are stampeding

    It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. I can only imagine what the Gopher roster would look like if PJ Fleck left this past off season under the present rules. I have a hunch there would be dozens and dozens of players heading out the door as well as there are many players such as...

    Nice job by SDSU and their fine coach

    Whoever made this decision should never --ever-- be allowed to have any input into any future Gopher basketball coach. They do not know what they are doing.

    Nice job by SDSU and their fine coach

    OK -- so again -- why didn't we hire Brian Dutcher, who has coveted the Gopher coaching position for some time? We should have hired him about 3 coaching searches ago. They just knocked off the #1 team - Alabama- in the nation and are driving into the Elite 8. This was a no brainer and the...

    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    I have to admit with the Gophers being this terrible I don't even care about college basketball these days. I am not watching the NCAA basketball tournament --- I didn't ever think this was possible even a few years ago. So thanks to the people that ruined Gopher basketball -- you took away...

    oops -- wrong forum

    This thread has lasted longer than the tenure of 31 of the 34 Gopher head football coaches going back to 1883!!

    Best Week 1 Matchups (5. Nebraska at Minnesota)

    Right on the money. This will be a huge game for the Gophers and should give us a good idea how the rest of the season will go - we need this one! Nebraska is in a state of flux with a new coach but Minnesota will be breaking in a new QB and RB with several new receivers. Hopefully we pull it out!

    Who should be our next Coach?

    They should have hired Brian Dutcher about 3 coaching searches ago but they keep making stupid hires and you end up with someone who should probably be an assistant coach at a mid-major right now. Now Dutcher might be a little on the older side and they might want someone a little younger, but...
