That is expected. What will lose the fans is that Fleck will come into the game with the only plan being to keep MI under 30 points to make the loss more acceptable. We should be way, way this stage of team development now.

Here is where he ranked 3 years ago - right in the middle of the pack at $5M. This year, he is on pace to make ~$3M/win. https://saturdaytradition.com/big-ten-football/pay-grade-rating-big-ten-football-coaching-salaries/

I gave them a D based on the 1st half. Do you think we could convince Iowa to cut Floyd in half?

What more does the Admin need to do to support Gopher Football? They built an on-campus stadium, they paid Fleck a more than competitive salary, they paid his assistants competitive salaries, they built an "Athletes Village", they built him the "Larson Football Performance Center and Indoor...

AK is 3-0 and just put up 270 yards on VaTech. I think he did benefit from the in-game experience, even if we did not.

We are 2-2 and already blow out loss vs. Iowa. At what point do we start to think about next year and get some QB in-game experience? The Brosmer gamble didn't pay off - very clear at this point.

On the bright side, we will move up the ranking in pass defense! Run D....no so much.

That 'fiasco' saved the school's image. If Iowa had won and had an 11-2 record going into their bowl game they would have faced an actual top team....#17 Tennessee beat their brakes off 35-0, I can only imagine how badly they would have been destroyed playing a higher ranked team.

Being ranked #63 is embarrassing this deep into Fleck's tenure. My expectation is for Minnesota to crack the top 25 but AT A MINIMUM be in the 'other receiving votes' list. Per this latest ranking, we lost to the #37 team and beat the #90 team - Rhode Island does not even get ranked as FCS...

I hate that we have returned to a state where the coaches don't believe that they can compete with OSU and MI and just gameplan to try to not get blown out. As much hate as Mason receives - I always thought he played to win and there was always a chance, albeit slim, that we would be able to...

Frankly, I know there is a zero percent chance that Fleck will be fired this season regardless of what happens due to a weak AD and the lack of buy-out money. That said, no coach goes into the season on the final year of his deal – it is always a rolling extension a few years out. This ensure...

Mason and Shaw had a system whereby they could take mid-tier talent on the OL and coach them up to a dominant running game which enabled, over time, better recruiting of RB talent. Was this enough to beat OSU and Michigan head to head consistently? No - but, I thought we had a chance entering...

When the new system was announced, I wrote an post about how there would be the possibility for OSU/Mich to play in 3 consecutive games (which is partially true). If both go into 'the game' undefeated, there is a good chance that they both will advance to the conference championship game and...

Take away the Wally "pick almost-6" and we score 10 points on under 250 yards of offense. Putting this another way, for the first 58 minutes of the game, we were held to under 200 yards of total offense - which would be behind 2023 Iowa (235 yards/game). If UNC turns out to be a powerhouse, I...

I don't disagree with anything you wrote both with regard to the the 4 byes and likely have 5-8 mixed. Where I think this gets interesting as that I think B1G and SEC will both lobby hard to have as many of the remaining 8 teams as possible so I don't think it will be out of the question for...

NC is replacing a 1st round draft talent at QB and clearly they are taking a huge step back. Until we have more data, we don't know if this is similar to keeping powerhouse Iowa under 10 . I think we see some promise here though.

I will expand a bit on his accomplishments with my context from the last post: In the preceding 5 years before Mason, the Gophers had a record of 16-39, a .29 win % with 8 Big Ten wins. Further, the last bowl appearance was 12 years prior during Lou Holtz. In his 10 season, the Gophers were...

I use this website: https://tv247.us/ I am in Vietnam so I have limited package options so I usually just use this and a VPN.

I apologize if this was discussed already but I just heard about this aspect of the playoffs this weekend – I live halfway around the world so I cannot follow as closely as before. With the new playoff structure, the top 4 teams get a bye. In the first round, teams 5-8 play teams 9-12 with the...

PJ is playing 4D Chess. Mason was fired because he blew huge leads vs. Michigan and Texas Tech. PJ knows this and there are 3 possible solutions. First, he could build a lock down D so that the other team cannot stage a comeback - this is hard and takes time. Second, he could make great...
