In with you on 2008. Felt like we were headed somewhere. Michigan and Wisconsin were having bad years, I bet if we would have beat NW we would have been favored every game as long as we kept winning. Instead it was the beginning of the end for coach brew. His high water mark.

To me, recruiting rankings are totally irrelevant to how I evaluate coaches. At the end of the day, if a coach is winning enough to satisfy, in don't care if he exclusively signs 2 star offensive linemen and teaches them to play every position on the field. If he's not winning enough games, i...

I bet Mel Kiper thinks that the cop didn't properly evaluate his speed.

He went to Georgia the same way he went in the first round.

Sounds like he's off to a fast start.

Sounds like a reasonable ask

I think one of the biggest mistakes both pro GMs and college ADs make is having too little patience for a coach who has been pretty good but not great. Possibly because I think fanbases have the same blind spot. They fire a pretty successful coach, the team moves into train wreck mode, and then...

How about a first year that is good enough that making the NIT isn't some kind of stretch goal in year 2?

By "reevaluation bump", do you mean an offer from OSU or Georgia?

I know the over under is based on regular season wins, but im at a point where any year i consider less than 8 total wins disappointing. We hit that mark 3 of the 4 seasons before Fleck got here, and 4 of the 7 since full seasons since hes been here. That should be the baseline. Another way I...

I also hope we dont get to a point where coaches are consistently be fired after 1-2 years, but thats because I hope we dont get to a point where we have coaches whose first 1-2 years look like Johnson's. Nice guy, hope things work out well for him, but in a performance driven field, and...

If he ends up in the UFL, he will be one completion away from Mel Kiper spending a whole week talking about how he should be starting in the NFL.

This will be the real test of him. Maybe getting his but kicked without dad around laying out the red carpet will be just what he needs. Maybe he won't be able to handle it. But it seems like he did feed into the circus a little bit, which makes me less sympathetic to him than one of Lavar...

I think it's a combination. When you have elite talent, NFL teams will take you and do some combination of assuming they can work on the weird sideshow baggage and hoping it doesn't become a problem. When you are a good not great college qb like Sanders, there are enough other options in your...

Id agree with this. I feel like we always find a way to shoot ourselves in the foot just enough to be good not great. B seems fair, though definitely closer to an A than a C. But that has nothing to do with how we celebrate beating Rhode Island.

So when coach prime called him a top 5 pick, I didn't realize he meant top 5 rounds

I agree that sports fans sour too quickly on a good but not great coach. Fran is an interesting situation. I think his overall performance was solid for a non blue blood B1G team. He never did bad enough over a long enough stretch to warrant firing, but also had a fairly low ceiling. It is...

I think it's possible his first year. In the portal era, it's possible to put together a successful team quickly, and maybe Medved can bring some nice pieces who know his system with him. Before anyone jumps down my throat, I'm not saying it's a major black mark on his record if he doesn't get...

Maybe the new CSU coach needs to pull out the Fleck improvement graph from a press conference several years ago.

Id consider joining Dinkytown athletes if Coyle did a Fonzi impression at a major public event.
