    All Things Gophers Coaching Search Thread (rumors, tweets, tid-bits and more)

    ....and of the 12 there are a couple I just don't see as being the program changing hire that we need (not that we considered that when we hired Ben Johnson, but we should have) so I'm going to rule out Grant and Rice....so we are down to 10...

    ...and several others would be a big stretch (not that we didn't make a stretch with hiring Ben Johnson, but I think we all hope we don't do that again)...Sweeney, Valentine, Siddle, Huss, Hodge...so that takes us down to 12 candidates...

    All Things Gophers Coaching Search Thread (rumors, tweets, tid-bits and more)

    ...and many of them are not legitimate either because they are unattainable (d/t their other opportunities, salary, or simply because they are unqualified*) * Not that 'unqualified' stopped up from hiring Ben Johnson 4 years ago. So let's eliminate Musselman, Wade, Johnson, Smith, Bickerstaff...

    Favorite Friday: Who is your favorite Gophers men’s basketball player?

    Yes! That is almost exactly my order...Breuer, McHale, Jackson, Burton, Murphy, and Tucker

    No

    Pick the next coach: pick one, ask one

    Dutcher. Dutcher or Johnny Tauer

    STrib: Four seniors share how recruiting changes have affected their college football plans

    I know there will be many that will attack you for your take, but....just so you know...you are CORRECT! The Gophers are going to hit on HS players occasionally (especially local ones) but they have 'made hay' in the Transfer Portal the last few years. We lose some...but we get back FAR more...

    Official: Collins named DC.

    A Agree! But I worry that we keep naming DCs with no track record as a high-level DC. Nothing against Coach Collins, who has done a great job...just wonder why we are promoting Rossi, Heatherman, and now Collins and are never in the market for a proven commodity. We may have that strong of a...

    Danny Collins to DC per RB

    Both! But mostly trust Fleck! Our last 2 DCs had no experience as a DC at this level. The 1st was good enough to be lured away by MSU, the 2nd was good enough to be lured away by Miami.

    STrib: Time for Gophers to flip the script against Minnesota-born Badgers

    LOL! IF the Gophers win their next 4 games.

    Wow! Was I wrong!

    Earlier this year I thought the Gophers would have a chance at a 17-19 win season and be respectable. No NCAA bid, but maybe the NIT. I thought we had enough pieces, enough depth, and enough experience to be competitive. The last moth has shown me that I VASTLY overrated our team and our...

    Gophers have nation's longest current bowl winning streak and longest in Big Ten history

    B No 'Yeah, Buts...' here! Gophers have been great in Bowl Games and have beaten who they have been paired with (which are usually 'on par' with our team/season). When we are OK, we play teams that are OK...and we win. When we are good, we play team that are good....and we win. When we are...

    The Gophers would DOMINATE the SEC

    Yes!!! Particularly with what we have done in the portal this time...lost a couple players who could have been contributors (Daniels, Bangura--I 'get it; didn't see the field', but he could have been a contributor this year)...but added WAY more players who are likely to be contributors

    Purdue TE Drew Biber commits to Gophers

    I know it is early in the portal season but at this point we have two commits, neither of which may be a big help next year. A back up QB and a non-receiving TE. Should I be concerned?

    Best time to send Ben packing?

    In the North Texas and Yale games, our offense was so bad I'm wondering why Caleb Williams didn't get some minutes. Could it get any worse? Williams has proven he can score. Give him some playing time

    Serious conversation

    What hurts about this season isn't the record. When the season started, most of us didn't expect more (or much more) than being 6-5 at this point in the season. I think the prognosticators had us projected to go more like 3-8 or 4-7. What hurts is HOW we lost these games. We were leading...

    Play “Your the Gopher AD”! What’s your move?

    That's how it felt yesterday in the 1st half as well...Ben is not doing a good job coaching this team. The roster and team both have limitations with Garcia being our only truly consequential player, BUT...this team had me looking forward to the season. 1st time with legitimate depth...

    Badgers fire their OC

    I was just thinking about this today...I would love it if PJ and the Gophers would take a shot on a 'proven' OC. Now Longo might not be the guy...but we have had MAC-level OCs for the entirety of PJ's tenure. Oh how I would love to see us take a shot on a proven OC. Ciarocca may or may not be...
