Agree on all counts I think smith is a below average number one but not awful. I think Tracy is an above average number two I don’t know who number three is

If the team is top half in the big ten in rushing, I will feel supremely confident in an 8+ win regular season with a shot at 10+ They were 17 in 25 They were 13 in 24

I haven’t done a breakdown but that’s the way it feels to me since the last OC change They seem to want to start and finish with that identity They do many things but that seems to be the go to they’re trying to build around

Quickly off top of my head Duke Pitt Iowa Indiana SMU Iowa state Utah Missouri Arizona state Kinda depends on if you’re saying 3 year period or 6 or 10 or whatever In the comparison you run into what you always run into. What’s better? 8-4 8-4 5-7 7-5 7-5 Or 3-9 8-4 8-4 9-3 9-3 And one of...

15-20 if you count Indiana and SMU types. Fewer if you say they have way more money than Mn

I think Tracy and smith are a decent 1-2 Not sure who 3 is Running the ball is critical. Because the way the OC seems to want to call it we want to be in 12 personnel and then you’re only playing 2. But if you’re in 12 personnel and can’t run that’s ugly football. I listed 3 things: I would’ve...

I’m just saying shouldn’t any planted story by fleck essentially point to all the terribleness to make fleck look good. There are only 15-20 cases in the country where you’re like dang they’re doing more than Mn with the same or fewer resources One of those is Indiana (and they have more...

If it’s a plant from Fleck PR it’s the dumbest plant of all time Why would fleck PR want to highlight the dozen or so coaches who have done more with less than he has? Fleck PR should bring up Fickell, Lincoln Riley, Rhule, etc

I agree with everything except the bolded The reasons why it might not be this year are: Can’t run the ball Sophomore slump for the QB DC

When The empire guys signed kill wasn’t the coach, Claeys was

Love this article. No one has thought of this before

The only guy on the list who is clearly rated too high is Fisch

Honestly if the run game comes back while we have competent QB play, it could be any season. I think the gophers have competent QB play. But we have not run the ball consistently since 2022

If we can convince 4 big ten schools to stipulate they’ll be top 3 in the conference we could start an infinite series of spiraling contracts

The game I really remember is him vs Ohio State

When you win the money flows When the money flows you win Chicken vs egg Would love to be the egg at some point

I disagree northern was his crown jewel Northern had success before him and success after him Southern is who has always sucked except when he was there New Mexico State is probably second place for crown jewel

Depends on if he can name a coordinator who you feel is ready to takeover in 3-4 years or at a moments notice But yeah I agree
