    Who do you want as the next OC?

    How is this not a Grand Slam? We have a guy who has proven he is successful here previously in the role - added with the current QB. We have a guy in Simon who has gained experience. We have continuity amongst our coaching staff (the biggest thing in CFB). See WI, IA, NW. We now have Fleck...

    Chip: P.J. Fleck had seen enough. So have I. Gophers can't pass on opportunity to evolve; Fleck can't be content with simply changing coordinators.

    PJ Targeting Ciarrocca for Return as OC?

    Man, Simon really showed his worth this season as our “passing game coordinator.” 🙄 No… also is WR coach Matt Simon going to develop our future QBs? I want my OC being the QB coach. Welcome back KC!!!

    Difference between WI & MN

    For wanting to be informed about the B1G Championship as a Season Ticket holder considering we have never been? My apologies for having expectations. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

    Difference between WI & MN

    So, how would that be different from any other day in the Cities in regards to the local media? My point still remains - I didn’t say publicize it, I said emailing the season ticket holders.

    Difference between WI & MN

    Can be pretty much summed up by this… their Athletic Department expects victory and are preparing for a trip to Indy. Us? Nothing of the sort. As a season ticket holder for 15+ years you’d think the Athletic Dept would at least reach out to us to get a potential plan or package together. I...

    Gophers Crush Maryland: Post-Game Reaction Thread

    He was literally the first scripted target of the game on a deep ball.

    Let's all get our dime down: FleckBall

    True, but it’s no mistake that the key to winning in this league is line play on both sides of the ball. We are finally building depth and it's paying off. Our rivals WI and IA are long established. If you want to win in this league it's about playing disciplined mistake free football, playing...

    OT: Alvarez Retiring

    Chris McIntosh will likely be his successor. Of course, they’ll have to die their due diligence as a public university and post it.

    Press Conference at 11:00 CDT

    Did you want him to grab a white board and draw up some plays for you? He did provide more detail than that in his answer as well. Talked about how personnel can dictate the offense, talked about tempo, talked about three point shooting and the need for shooters.

    Coyle's miscalculations as I see them

    Even if he flopped the rest of the way he brought us success that hasn’t been seen in decades. So, no. Not a fail.

    GOPHERS HIRING BEN JOHNSON

    A full turnover sure, but hard to win with underclassmen in the B1G look at the teams in the tournament. Very veteran teams. If you’re bringing in top notch class’s you can win sooner, but I look at Iowa, Illinois, WI, Rutgers, etc. all veteran squads. It took underwood and McCaffrey three plus...

    GOPHERS HIRING BEN JOHNSON

    I believe just Chris Collins of NW and maybe Shrewsberry of PSU, but haven’t seen his terms yet. He’s likely getting similar to what Guaard is at WI.

    GOPHERS HIRING BEN JOHNSON

    I think this has potential merit. With that said, than I’d have interviewed Medved with the same terms. Both those situations I like more than this one. Assistant coaches are going to be instrumental in the success or failure of this hire. You have to believe Johnson has a good idea of his staff...

    GOPHERS HIRING BEN JOHNSON

    Sure, that certainly helps and is a new wrinkle to the game. The portal and potential guys transferring home is the only reason I think this may work. Provided he assembles a staff that can “coach.” Even still I’m not sure I want to build a program like Hoiberg on transfers. So I’ll meet you in...

    GOPHERS HIRING BEN JOHNSON

    The only thing worse than a sub-par tradition in a Great conference is a program with a short leash and no historical success to back it up.1982. Last B1G title. If we’re not willing to have a longer leash than the premier programs the candidates will continue to dwindle. We’ve seen from the...

    GOPHERS HIRING BEN JOHNSON

    I think if you make any hire the minimum is 4-5 years. You have to allow a full turnover of a roster with his scheme and integration of recruits. This isn’t professional sports where you can judge from two years as there isn’t free agency or a draft. If that’s too long for some or yourself I’d...

    GOPHERS HIRING BEN JOHNSON

    Not according to this report...on Dutcher. FWIW. Smith was my favorite for many reasons. Proven success at multiple stops. Midwest ties. X and Os guy, etc. however he wouldn’t have filled seats. That’s why my whole point was that were so far gone from the Clem Days that any season ticket holder...

    GOPHERS HIRING BEN JOHNSON

    Name a coach that was interviewed that fulfills filling Williams Arena in the next couple of years. I was a season ticket holder all through the Tubby era. The Barn was not packed for much of that time. So, again it’s not happening. The bottom line is people are in a “prove it and then we’ll...
