I look back to when Lou Holtz came to Minnesota - we had an even worse team than Colorado's team last year. We didn't lose 41 players -- he worked with what he had and immediately started turning it around. Bottom line -- I think a REAL coach can coach up the players he has and recruit more as...

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. I can only imagine what the Gopher roster would look like if PJ Fleck left this past off season under the present rules. I have a hunch there would be dozens and dozens of players heading out the door as well as there are many players such as...

Whoever made this decision should never --ever-- be allowed to have any input into any future Gopher basketball coach. They do not know what they are doing.

OK -- so again -- why didn't we hire Brian Dutcher, who has coveted the Gopher coaching position for some time? We should have hired him about 3 coaching searches ago. They just knocked off the #1 team - Alabama- in the nation and are driving into the Elite 8. This was a no brainer and the...

I have to admit with the Gophers being this terrible I don't even care about college basketball these days. I am not watching the NCAA basketball tournament --- I didn't ever think this was possible even a few years ago. So thanks to the people that ruined Gopher basketball -- you took away...

This thread has lasted longer than the tenure of 31 of the 34 Gopher head football coaches going back to 1883!!

Right on the money. This will be a huge game for the Gophers and should give us a good idea how the rest of the season will go - we need this one! Nebraska is in a state of flux with a new coach but Minnesota will be breaking in a new QB and RB with several new receivers. Hopefully we pull it out!

They should have hired Brian Dutcher about 3 coaching searches ago but they keep making stupid hires and you end up with someone who should probably be an assistant coach at a mid-major right now. Now Dutcher might be a little on the older side and they might want someone a little younger, but...

I will have to tune into the USFL when he plays to check it out. Hope he lights it up!!

This is a fair take and I would go under here. The Gophers will face improving teams in Wisconsin and Nebraska, very tough games with Ohio St. and Michigan, a tough non-conference game at North Carolina and of course Iowa who has given them problems for a long time. The Gophers can be sneaky...

A few years ago, Gopher fans were screaming at the Vikings to pick Antoine Winfield Jr. -- a no brainer but instead they chose CB Jeff Gladney who was out of the league in 2 years. Just saying this because the Vikings are about to make the same mistake again by overlooking another Gopher in...

I am not saying this WILL happen with AK, I am saying it COULD happen.

I completely agree with everything you have said!!

Actually, it IS a concern these days. Two programs offered NC QB Drake Maye 5 million to come and play for them this year, which he turned down. Not every person would do that - I know I would have had a hard time turning down 5 million dollars when I was in college (or even right now!!) Dozens...

This is an honest and fair question. You have all these fanbases that are expecting to win 10 plus games every year and the reality is there is not enough wins to go around for everyone. Something has to give! I think fans will have to lower their expectations a bit because the answer always...

I will be very surprised if he isn't very successful there. He built up a Baylor team that was pretty mediocre to bad into a New Year's Bowl team. He is a good coach and if he can't turn it around there I am not sure who can!

Much better!!

I think most everyone agrees the Gophers uniforms are one of the best in the conference and I would also agree putting Maryland last as they are just too busy, loud and obnoxious. You like to have something a little different from the rest. There are way too many teams with red and white...

I get it -- you weren't there so you don't realize how bad things were when Lou Holtz got here. They were outscored 518-181 or 47-16 which has to be some type of record for us. Things got so bad they did not even put out a pointspread for the Michigan game because oddsmakers did not think...

He was from Oklahoma -- he got beat out by Rickey Foggie and ended up transferring to Arizona St. He did play out there some but Foggie was clearly the better QB especially in the option system that Holtz wanted to run.
