I truly understand he has good stats and is likely better than I give him credit for, but doesn't something about him just feel like a non-winner? I don't feel like he makes players around him better. He gets his, and that's what it is. Maybe I'm harsh, that's just how I view it.

All the players meetings and what not is cute. I feel for Ben and the players because I do believe they want to win and the effort is there. Ben just has no idea how to actually execute that at a level like this to make those wins happen. Simple as that. I do think it would be in Coyle's best...

He is yes. I think I just have a hard time admitting that anyone on a really bad team is any good. *Al Jefferson type back in the day for the Wolves

Come on...we're awful. And he's playing. I truly don't believe it would be much worse.

"Ok" is wrong, you're correct. But he's not one of the best players in the country. He feels like one of those really good players that isn't a winning player. I'd say 3rd Team Big Ten is my thought on his game.

Scoggins was on WCCO the other day talking Gopher Hoops. Talked about how everyone really likes Ben and wants him to succeed but hard to point to any hope at this point. I actually like Scoggins, many may not. I think everyone's aware at this point that this is done, but it does help to have...

He seems like an OK player, but there's a reason he left both Marquette and UNC.

Told a couple co-workers about this one tonight. Does anybody know this game is happening... Just punching the Irrelevance card again.

The idea of Ben getting a buyout number in the millions is absolutely ridiculous. I understand how it works in this industry, but that is freakin' insane.

Agreed. Whether the coach succeeds or not is up in the air, but I think he's definitely going to hire someone with a quality, proven background.

I didn't watch the game last night, but it's almost to the point of just feeling bad for Ben and these guys at this point. It's not like they aren't working hard, they just don't know how or don't have the ability to get it done. I'd imagine it's signed, sealed and delivered that Ben won't...

I do think it's more likely we win a game than not, but I'm almost pulling for winless with how pissed I am at this program.

Maybe Medved would just be the right fit for Minnesota, but Colorado State has not had a good year and I do think there's a difference now between coaches that have benefitted and become more valuable from the transfer portal rules, and those that may be solid basketball coaches but have taken a...

If we don't get the Ohio State game, it's going to be a lonnnnnnggggg wait. Ben has to have his eyes on that Washington game. One of the biggest games in the Ben Johnson era.

Are we the worst P5 team in the country right now? No joke.

Yeah never say never...but it ain't happenin' here at Minnesota.

Can you imagine? Holy Jesus That would be the Home Run of Home Runs. Retires from Villanova...takes Minnesota job haha. I like the sound of that.

Fair enough, just get 'em on the schedule. It'd be a fun game every year. If you're the Gophers and you're so worried about losing, just win the game....And if you can't, that's all we need to know about the coaches and players we currently have.

Ben just has such a loser's mentality. Worried about losing this, scared of this, we could never beat this team, etc. It's already been decided if that's the way you're going to think. So damn sick of it. It's embarrassing this guy got the job and has held it for 4 years.

UST and Gophers should be set in stone every year. The "nothing to gain" mindset from the Gophers side is ridiculously soft. What do you have to gain from playing North Texas...
