    Gophers plan to hire Isaac Fruechte and Mo Ibrahim as assistant coaches

    Fruechte checks a lot of boxes: -Alumni -NFL experience at that position -Offensive coordinator & Play caller at D2 & D1 (FCS) level -From the region Mo is going to be a work in progress. Only 1 year of coaching experience and Kent State ranked 129th out of 134 for team rushing. Not saying...

    Matt Simon has been let go

    Been an offensive coordinator for last 6 years and has done a pretty decent job at North Dakota for the last 2. Also familiar with the area and program (including it's limitations). I like it.

    Darius Taylor is coming BACK!!!!

    You're assuming that he's getting the same amount that he (presumably) got this year. I don't know if I agree with that. I said it in the Koi thread but it bears repeating, I don't think it's a coincidence that Koi and Taylor were the "holdouts" among those that got the most money last year...

    Per Ryan Burns, DL Steven Curtis has entered the portal. Curtis transferred to Minnesota from Illinois State before the 2025 season but did not appear in any games this fall.

    Matt Simon has been let go

    Been with Fleck since Western. That's a long time. Sounds like a lot of difficult conversations between Christmas and New Years.

    John Nestor and Kerry Brown appreciation thread

    Nester made a TON of plays early in the season. His performance against Wisconsin will be remembered for many years to come.

    Gopher portal visits and signings

    Especially since we aren't going to be one of the big boys at the table. The ones at the very top are going to set the market and then we'll adjust and have to work within our budget.

    Nightmare scenario is he ends up in Iowa City.

    Doing a quick scan of 247 a few minutes ago, as of 8:30am on 1/2 here are the number of players in the portal for each Big Ten team. (note: there might be a couple that left during the season, I didn't count them. I tried to limit it to those that left after season was completed) Michigan State...

    Karter Menz signed a deal to stay at MN.

    The compensation comment was likely also supplied by Menz "rep". Take it for what it's worth. All I know is he's happy enough with the offer to continue to play here and I enjoyed watching him this year. Ski U Mah

    Koi Perich Transfer Portal

    It's a numbers game. This year who were our biggest payouts going to? Probably Smith, Perich and Taylor. Lindsey was an unknown so not getting nearly as much. Who earned their money this year? Smith and Lindsey. You can bet both got a raise and rightfully so. So Perich and Taylor were...

    Koi Perich Transfer Portal

    If he explores his options and comes back, great. If he doesn't then we can use that money for OL or DT. It's a loss and it's unfortunate but I still like our outlook for next year. Smith coming back was unexpected and a bigger impact IMHO

    Who will be the 2026 Water Carrier of the Year

    I nominate the student section. They cheer for PJ each week in the pregame and they have the audacity to enjoy victories, even against sub 500 teams.
