    All about Max Brosmer Making the Cut

    I almost feel bad for McCarthy going against a very good Lions D Line in Detroit with a Vikings O Line held together by chicken wire and tape.

    AT WHAT POINT DO YOU SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

    Here's why it's so hard to beat Iowa even though they seem to have roughly similar resources. I asked an AI to rank the top 20 Power 4 teams on overperformance to recruiting rankings over the past decade. Teams like Iowa simply do a lot more with what they have (coaching, administration, etc.).

    This is a fireable offense

    Offense Percentile (Yards) Avg. Rank in the BG10 45th percentile - Ciarrocca 50th Percentile - Sanford 18th Percentile - Harbaugh If Fleck stays, then the Gophers need new leadership on offense. Just sayin.

    This is a fireable offense

    17.5 pts - Ciarrocca in 4 seasons 14.5 pts - Sanford in 2 seasons 9.0 pts - Harbaugh in 3 seasons These are the average number of points scored by MN against Iowa by OC. It's bad and getting worse. Edit add: I'm not going to go back and rescore, but if you count some defensive TDs by Iowa as...

    To me, lack of preparation and lack of execution are tightly related.

    Great data. The Gutekunst data seems a bit surprising. It makes the Wacker hire look even worse.

    Rutgers' offense (KC) is decent but the defense might be the BG10's worst. Regarding MSU, I don't know what happened to Rossi. Maybe his defenses at Minnesota were overrated by relying on a ball control offense (which was essentially Mo Ibrahim)? I don't know if Fleck would need to pay top...

    Fleck is a CEO head coach. He's never been a coordinator. For kicks and grins, I checked the coordinators at Indiana and Vanderbilt; two upstart programs that have the reputation of being extremely well coached. Both offensive and defensive coordinators at both schools have multiple years...

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    It's odd to see openings at three blue bloods all at once. LSU is probably the top job out of those.

    2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

    Not a surprise. It was a weird fit in the first place. Getting throttled at home by A&M was just the tipping point.

    We stink.

    My wife absolutely hates anything about Iowa because of that debacle, made much worse by some b*tchy female Hawkeye fans sitting in front of us. She'll never forgive whatever Gopher season ticket holder sold tickets to them.

    Predictable PJ

    It begs the question that's hard to answer for anyone except an Xs & Os expert... If the Gophers had an offensive coordinator like Eric Morris at UNT and defensive coordinator like Phil Parker at Iowa (or name any proven top notch coordinators), would the Gophers have looked significantly better...

    Coaches fired and or on hotseat

    The Gophers currently have a decimated backfield and a young QB that has struggled at times, especially on the road.

    I think you'd need to break the 50+ year trend into eras. Late 1960s to around 2000 were a period of purposeful underinvestment. That started the trend. Then you have the era in the last 20 years of reinvestment in facilities and infrastructure that at least helped bring football back into...

    It happens every single year, though, against Iowa/Ferentz. That's not just a let down.

    AT WHAT POINT DO YOU SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

    Just speculating, but the U leadership is extremely risk averse now when it comes to scandal. The University has an extremely short leash culturally in this market. To his credit, Fleck excels on this point. Idiot Maturi [corrected: Teague/Goetz) handed the reigns to a fat ass introvert former...

    Football has definitely plateaued. It is what it is by now. Fleck missed the window following up the almost-great 2019 because of Iowa, COVID, then tons of injuries on what could have been a nice 2021 team. It's been a step down since then. Losing to Iowa almost every year has also been the...

    Coaches fired and or on hotseat

    Um, remember 2023? Fleck's team fully has the ability to collapse against mediocre competition once a contending season is out of reach.
