Never said it was simple...what teams ended first 2 seasons for new coach last in a 14-team league like the gophers and then ended bottom 3rd in year 3 and then lost all but 2 players to transfer after their so-called break-out season? Coyle hired CBJ and CBJ accepted the position for multiple...

Maybe discuss how to adapt with Coyle, the person who offered/hired CBJ for the job. Coyle hired CBJ and both are "earning" 1+MM / year salary. Excuses for lack of success for either of these people is laughable. They are paid high salaries to return success. These jobs and high salaries are...

Really? 2+ million NIL for those 3 players. Where’s the info for those amounts.

Hmm. Other coaches are adapting.

Yep. Return to original comment...Coach is responsible for the roster.

Agree that players in most situations determine W/L's. If you're a high school coach that isn't allowed to recruit, then the coach is stuck with the available players. That doesn't mean the team can't be coached up. College coaches have to recruit though so they're responsible for the...

The wolves drafted a few MN college players including Rick Richart. Never panned out for the player or the wolves. Cam will never see the NBA court other than a pre-season game.

Will boo him if he returns.

Timberwolves have at least one: Naz Reid.

CBJ put together a good team last year and their record reflected success for this year. I was excited for the team and players to return with CBJ as the coach for more success which includes both Hawkins and Mithcell. My points were (1) Coyle hiring CBJ, an unproven coach, same as Whalen and...

As I've said before, Coyle hired CBJ and should fire himself for UoM's basketball hires during his tenure: Whalen and CBJ. Neither had head coaching experience and were expected to turn around the programs which, without experience was nearly impossible. CBJ deserves credit for this season's...

The question was rhetorical. Then it's not all about the money.

Agree with hanging all banners that were removed from "Clem-gate" They were removed to placate the UofM administration and the NCAA for their "rule violations". If Reggie Bush can get his Heisman Trophy back for NCAA rule violations the UofM should get some cahonas and re-hang the banners...

What about Garcia and Fox? Why didn't they leave?

According to Parker Fox NIL pays 1/2 up front with the remainder paid evenly throughout the season/year. Curious where you read Payne's receiving $ 500k up front. $ 1MM total or $ 500k up front seems unlikely.

The top 5 NIL recipients are all over $ 2mm. The highest at approximately $ 5 MM. https://www.on3.com/nil/rankings/player/nil-100/ The only athlete from MN is Paige Bueckers2020 Hopkins(Hopkins, MN) basketball player at $ 1MM and playing for UCON.

Fox was injured his first year and didn't play.

All that matters to Coyle is that Coyle's wife isn't complaining, regardless of what the fan-base wants.

If you're hungry, you'll eat anything.

Coaching contracts have buyouts for being fired and for leaving before end of contract. The buyout is the incentive for both the university and the coach to NOT part ways each year. There's no contract between university/team and the players and therefore no financial incentive to stay if...
