    Future Gopher Coach Discussion

    Not sure on Bump or anything else. I'd be in on Fershweiler either way I think. And, I'd take his goalie and 2nd leading scorer who happen to be brothers from a hockey rich town in Minnesota LOL. That said, I'm completely fine bringing Bob back, which is what is going to happen anyway. I was...

    Future Gopher Coach Discussion

    It won't happen.......but if Minnesota is really serious about moving on up....then go make Rochester (MN) native Pat Ferschweiler an $800k/year offer and have him bring the Slukynsky brothers, Bump and other high end talent with him. I know he's a Western Michigan grad, but he grew up in...

    I'm probably in the minority, but Tom Izzo

    He's 70 years old. Anyone who would consider him a quitter at this point of his career if he chooses to retire would be a bit silly. Maybe he just wants to be done with the rat race of what college basketball has become. He won a Big Ten title, passed Bob Knight on the all-time conference...

    P.J. Fleck : “The QB competition is going to be fierce. It’s going to be a lot of fun. It has already started.” (Video)

    It should also be noted, the video in which PJ is talking to begin this thread is now two months old. It isn't anything new or even since spring ball started.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    I agree with that for sure, that is why I added the qualifier "in totality." I wasn't trying trying to refute you on Maryland. Just adding an additional thought on the entire conference and the new coaches entering the league.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    I think in totality, the Big Ten probably got tougher: IND - Woodson out, DeVries in MN - Johnson out, Medved in IA - Fran out, McCallum in MD - Willard out, Buzz in That's an upgrade in coaching, in my opinion.

    Parker Fox Hosting Barreiro Show Today

    I'm not even sure what you're asking me to do. That's quite a confusing string of sentences. What does Alabama NIL collective have to do with Parker Fox hosting a show in Minneapolis? I can tell you that: KFAN is owned by iHeart. Learfield is owned by Learfield. Two totally separate...

    All Things 2024-25 College Basketball Coach Fired/Hired/Retired Thread

    There was zero chance Oats was leaving Alabama. His buyout to walk away is $18 million. It didn't take any agent or anyone else to figure out he was not leaving Bama. I'm guessing the originator of that "scoop" was looking to create waves, get clicks, and gain following. It probably worked.

    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    Likely unrealistic, but I'd take both Holloman and Evans. I'd promise them they would be the starting backcourt duo. Play 30+ minutes each per game. Not much length, but great quickness, great defense, generally good shooting, and veteran floor leaders who both shoot FTs at a great...

    Parker Fox Hosting Barreiro Show Today

    I don't think that is true. And, I'm not sure what that has to do with Parker Fox hosting the afternoon show today. No one pays more attention to KFAN than Spaulding!No!. No one.

    It appears that somebody is you. Go ahead and worry about spin and whatever else you wanna waste your time on. Stir the pot baby! LOL

    Jefferson is Gone

    LOL. The second Ben Johnson was fired this kid was not coming to Minnesota. So, if you're really going to give one second of worry about the kid not coming here, then you should have been hoping for Ben Johnson to stay. I know you weren't interested in that (nor was I). Let's see what the...

    Jefferson is Gone

    Anyone panicking or cashing in their chips at this point doesn't understand college sports. This is how it works now. There are dozens of programs with long-time coaches with almost no returning players on their current roster. A new incoming coach is obviously going to have a thin roster at...

    Big Ten Top 10 Reality Is Setting In

    If Niko can get Minnesota to 10-10 his first season, he would be in running for B1G Coach of the Year. It would be the Gophers' second season of .500 or better in the Big Ten in the past 16 years (think about that for a minute).

    Nadine asks Medved about hanging the 1997 banners and playing St. Thomas

    St. Thomas is in the 16th largest TV market in the country, home to Fortune 500 companies, a great airport that flies direct to almost every Big East city, and naturally bridges the league's footprint between Milwaukee/Chicago and Omaha. St. Thomas is also Catholic, like most of the teams in...

    New reality

    That will be up to the fanbase's generosity as much as it is up to Coyle. To promise money, you have to have the money. To have the money, people have to write checks.

    He could also be a candidate at Xavier and end up coaching against his old man. Or, he could attempt to take the Maryland job if Wiliard leaves for Villanova. Lots of possible scenarios.
