I don't know if more money would bring better coaches. I'm not convinced our coaches are as inept as many here insist. Nevertheless, you suggest we should hire top notch coaches and I think they would be as hard to attract to Minneapolis as are high star recruits. We haven't been able to recruit...

Why do you think "top notch" coaches would be more likely to want to come to Minnesota than the "better" players?

Seems like a reasonable concern. I don't know about the jab at coaching, that seems to be in vogue these days here on GH, but I think it's reasonable to assume that there are other programs more likely to win championships given the UM record the last 60 or so seasons.

They have a nice campus in a college town. They typically recruit well. They have a recent history in both bb and fb of pretty good success. I respect the badgers but would really like to beat them.

I hope he chooses to stay at UM.

It's easier to identify the best players than it is to get them to come to Minneapolis.

There are many spectator sports in the TCs to spend money on. In Iowa City there's one. Madison, one.

"...or do we try to find a brilliant mind out there that can coach and beat good coaches?" (And would agree to coach in Minneapolis)

Don't you think the Gophers recruit the best players THEY CAN GET at every position?

UW 24 UM 21

The Gophers allowed NW to pass effectively due to poor coverage and no pressure on the QB.

Will badgers be favored v UM?

No. But it's as good as it has been.

It may not be fine but hasn't been better than this for decades under ten coaches.

Gophers should hire a recruiter and coach from UNW. Once a bottom team, now quite up from that. What did they do? Who do they recruit to come to a sorta urban area?

The last time the Gophers were nationally prominent was in the early 60s. Since then 10 coaches have tried to get them back. Not sure the reason it has been so difficult is coaching.

If true, why did the admin dowplay athletics in 61? What changed in 61?

UM. 20 UNW. 17

I'd be interested in seeing the recruiting template for the Gophers. How do we sell the Gophers program to recruits? How to we respond to objections to being UM students? How to we keep improving the pitch?

I don't think either group would be hurt. The big guys would get a train load of money and the student-athlete schools would enjoy more competitive games. But maybe I don't understand this strings question.
