Some people are worried he’ll leave. I don’t think he leaves or is ever fired barring something scandalous or numerous eyeball-scarring losing seasons like 2023 or 2017. If he were to really over perform expectations then maybe.

The big schools like USC, Michigan typically like to have coaches with some sort of connection to the school or be one of the former successful coach’s acolytes. Until that well runs dry. Maybe we’ll see Kiffin get another shot with the Trojans someday…

Even MN fans thought Fleck would return to form until very recently. Brosmer and Harbaugh have been a revelation with the calls, adaptability, and spreading the ball around. Not quite an aerial circus but these are definitely uncharted waters and combined with the changes on special teams and...

He’s an interesting case if he was truly a late bloomer as an accurate thrower based purely on improvements in motion. TBH I believe I saw him play once in college and never in the NFL, don’t really follow the NFL in recent years. I went to the world authority on football, fan Reddit/NFL, for...

You’re right, up to 63% from 56%. Not bad. Did he fix his footwork, make better decisions, have better receivers than Wyoming, better protection, or all of the above?

We kind of laugh about AK’s Wild Thing accuracy but I saw a blurb 2023 #4 draft pick Anthony Richardson (who shared AK’s less than stellar ~54% completion rate in college) was benched by the Colts after going all of 44% in his starts this year which has to be a borderline record. Checked his...

If Fleck leaves before Dec 31 he owes the U $7M If Fleck is fired before Dec 31 the U owes Fleck $19,727,500. Fleck has bought himself more goodwill/time with the team’s resurrection/resurgence. That guaranteed money number goes down by roughly $4.5M per year until Fleck’s contract is...

Considering future slate of Kaliakmanis, Locke, and potentially an unproven Penn State backup seems reasonable to think he’ll finish up with even more.

^ Kinda the norm for most businesses 🤷‍♂️ Speaking of which, The Swarm tax return should be popping up on the ProPublica charity database soon.

The DTA Nepsis match campaign has perfect timing.

I remember when Fleck wanted to grow QBs in the program. Athan’s Hindenburg season and subsequent departure (along with the other QBs) forced the hand unless he wanted to start a true freshman. Given the results so far maybe he reconsiders going forward. Get the best player available that...

Yes, but it was a one score game until late, and Wisconsin isn’t the old Wisconsin on D. Agree Pribula looked good but had never really played entire series AFAIK. Could be beginners luck versus tired, unprepared D. PSU will be tough either way, and is a huge opportunity for a statement win.

Gotta love Jay. He’s not wrong, most likely. Is it hyperbole to say this has been the worst year in officiating in modern history. I don’t know what’s going on or what to even say when balls are getting spotted 4 yards away from where the carrier ran out of bounds. The on/off pass...

Absolutely possible to win out given how they’re playing right now, and looking at the schedule. Could also go 0-4. Penn State has a banged up Allar, really struggled versus USC. Very good defense but it feels like Brosmer could make PSU pay if they aren’t careful. The MN defense has been...

Or balls a yard behind, above when he gets happy feet. I suppose this isn’t earth-shattering but I watched the Rutgers USC game and despite the book on Kaliakmanis consisting of make him uncomfortable, hit him, see ghosts and let him self destruct they USC rushed 3 or 4, never really put got to...

Assuming the settlement isn’t delayed or derailed there are still no signals whatsoever on how the revenue would be distributed. This GM/cap manager would have to balance the wants and needs of the revenue sports coach demands (men’s football and basketball) with any Title IX issue, conference...

The receivers completing the catches has also helped. I don’t have any stats in front of me but Jackson and Co, the tight ends and backs are getting open and making plays.

Minnesota and Indiana were both able to pull excellent QBs from the lower leagues. Kudos to Fleck and Harbaugh for IDing and getting their guy locked up.

Can’t be anything except an A. I doubt many were expecting that type of beat down and the guys delivered.

The alt take is PJ heard the criticism/input coming from all quarters, national and local. Running constant PR interference here is just as odd as some of the more outlandish takes. We’re all pleased (I think?) the team looks exponentially better than last year or early in the season or really...
