    All Things 2026 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    Minicamp has come and gone and not much has come of it, not that there was a big expectation otherwise. We won't really know anything big until training camp, which is how it usually is. I think everyone in the building knows Murray is the starter. Hope we won't have to wait very long for it...

    Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

    Nonsense A person who is going to give away a bunch of money to a college team, is either going to do it anyway no matter who the AD is or they're going to do it because they believe in the coach and the coach's program. The AD has really very little to do with it.

    Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

    If it truly was Dolson who came up with this radical, genius plan ("hey guys, listen to this! OK, we'll .... go to a rich alumni ... and ask them to buy us a great QB!! I did it! I invented electricity!") ...... then why did he wait until only 2024 to spring it? Nonsense. He either tried before...

    SEC’s ‘cupcake weekend’ is no more

    No doubt there are plenty of cupcakes still appearing on (the early part of) schedules for the Power 2 conferences. Minnesota is as guilty as anyone, with the shameful scheduling of Northwestern State and Eastern Illinois.

    SEC’s ‘cupcake weekend’ is no more

    I believe the article is specifically talking about the week before rivalry week (usually Thanksgiving weekend). This year Florida plays Vandy that week before playing FSU in rivalry week, and Arkansas plays Texas that week before playing LSU in rivalry week. (Aside: Arkansas-Mizzou would seem...

    Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

    Since the thread is actually about the Gophers and Coyle, let's split the baby: IF Fleck first convinced some wealthy U alumnus that their significant donation would make a big impact in the program, then sure I'd be fine saying that Coyle should be an important part in coming up with a plan...

    Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

    Another big hole in the idea that it was Dolson all along: he has been the AD since 2020, but only figured out just in 2024 that football success depends on getting a QB and only just then thought of asking Cuban? That doesn't make sense. The sudden timing of Cuban's donation is plainly...

    Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

    According to Mark Cuban, your post here is wrong. I tried to find this same video on YouTube but for some reason they only put it on Facebook video, apologies if you can't see it. The headline is: Mark Cuban says Curt Cignetti’s plan for Indiana’s player acquisition is what convinced him to...

    The Mountain West is in serious dialogue to add FCS powerhouse North Dakota State as a football-only member starting this coming season

    Since when Bohl got there over 20 years ago -- and obviously before then as well, but it's tough to compare to then because it was DII days in the old NCC conf -- NDSU has always gotten the majority of its starters from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Coaching up two star...

    Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

    Huh? We're talking about NIL. Money that goes to the player for agreeing to be on the roster. That's it. There is nothing to convince or prove. And that would be the coach trying to convince the donor to give the money for the specific player. "Buy us this player, and we really have a...

    The Big Ten and SEC schools offer you $100k per year ... so what tips it for you is an extra couple g's in a McDonald's bag?? Not: relationship with coaches, relationship with players on visits, roster composition (likelihood of how quickly you can start playing), facilities, school factors...

    Dimwit Dan faking up a "rant" over literally nothing. It was just Murray responding honestly to what the hardest part has been for him so far ... you know, what the question actually asked of him was. Then Dan has to lie that this somehow was him complaining about reps. :rolleyes:

    JJ (the real one) also gave very high praise to Murray on PA, noting in particular how he puts touch on the ball.

    Of course we want him back. I think he will be "back". Where back here means that he won't go through training camp, won't play pre-season. But will hopefully be a major on-field contributor -- not necessarily starter -- for the big games.

    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    I don't think they were making anywhere near the amount they make now with above board money. Having it be only House Settlement amount and hard capped at that means the top players would still make considerable money. If getting a few extra g's in McDonald's bags is what gets you to go to an...
