    New Volleyball Coaching Staff

    Remember Stanford won the title with only one loss that season. Was the Gophers best shot but not a certainty. Four losses that year were to Stanford, Oregon (twice) and Penn State. Oregon was hard to figure out but sometimes may just be a bad matchup

    Gopher Volleyball 2023 Season

    Liked the comment from Minatee that she can do anything. Confidence is great. She is a little short at 6'1" for a typical MB but showed great effort. Schnichles also looked like she can play

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    Wishing the best for Jenna. It is a new world with NIL and the portal. Have no knowledge but suspect she might be destined to Texas

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    Not a big surprise, a new coach brings in his own coaches. Wishing the best to the Houk's and expect they will find their next jobs soon. Maybe a head coach. In football think of Luke Fickell and Jim Leonard at Wisconsin

    https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-huskies/husky-volleyball-coach-keegan-cook-leaves-washington-for-university-of-minnesota/#comments Fun to read the comments in the Seattle Times. They do not understand why Cook is leaving. Blame it on money. Good to see they are not pleased See also...

    Comments from Coyle emphasize Cook's holistic approach to coaching. This may have been a factor since it was Hugh's approach

    What grade would you give Hugh McCutcheon in his coaching career at Minnesota?

    Disappointing they have not won a national title but they have been a top ten team. Need a leader (player) and the right combination/scheme to reach the next level. Hugh has been great and deserves respect. The problem is we look at Nebraska, Penn State and pardon the language Wisconsin and...

    MP: Pat Borzi: How Can U Volleyball Turn a Profit?

    All the responses have been focused on the Pav vs Williams. Minnesota is still in the top four in attendance (Nebraska, Wisconsin, Hawaii, Minnesota). Perhaps the course is too live with the 5000-5300 limit of the Pav and rather look to other sources of income such as sponsors, radio, tv, and other

    Gopher Volleyball 2022 Season

    Watching today's game and later the Penn State-wisconsin game I have a couple comments and questions. 1. Wisconsin plays as a team 2. Minnesota is a bunch of individuals. Probably better than Wisc. but do not play together Questions 1. Who is the leader of the Gophers? 2. Who gets the Gophers...

    Makes sense. Minnesota would be in the top 20 or better and need a top 10 level coach

    Hugh McCutcheon to start in a new Assistant AD / Sport Development Coach role Jan. 2023.

    I wonder if the delay was waiting to get administration or maybe Regents approval to create a new position. The original annoucement never said he was leaving the University employment.

    I am thinking big. The Big Ten and therefore Minnesota is getting a big boost in revenue and could spend on one of its programs volleyball. We have already done it once when Mike Hebert was hired. One name I thought of was Dani Busboom Kelly at Louisville. Part of the Cook coaching tree...

    The Minnesota job would definitely be one of the most attractive opening and should generate great interest. Thinking of the top ten I would list the following in rough order 1-10. Nebraska Stanford Texas Wisconsin (I put ahead of Minnesota just because of current performance) Minnesota (I...
