It’s a non issue as he wouldn’t even answer a call for the gopher job to begin with. If he coaches again, which I’m not convinced he will, it will be at a job with NIL money to be able to recruit top level talent

No they can’t. That money goes to fund all the other money losing sports. Gophers couldn’t come close to affording him. You need big money boosters who cover a lot that the conference payout doesn’t.

Gophers couldn’t come up with enough money to pay his bar tab

the gophers won’t fire PJ. They can’t do better. This is one of the worst jobs in the Big Ten due to poor fan support and no big money boosters for buyouts and NIL.

He will be at K-State as long as Gene Taylor is there as AD. He is intensely loyal and best friends with him. Plus K-state and Kansas will soon be among the perennial favorites in the Big 12

Re-read your post and the small number of players you yourself listed, including a whole bunch or FCS players and tell me again about the talent of Minnesota high school football.

Minnesota high school football, that’s like bragging about being the skinniest kid at fat camp.

It isn’t just weather and lack of in-state talent, it’s also lack of fan support. Gophers struggle to sell out one of the smallest stadiums in P5 in one or the largest College cities in P5. Players want to go where they can win, make money, and actually be noticed and appreciated by the fans.

His recruiting is overrated by PJ himself. Look at how his classes rank compared to his Big Ten peers, not terrible but nothing special. Now some will say rankings don’t matter and they aren’t always correct but more often than not there is correlation between rankings and success. He needs...

So pretty much 80% of the posters on here preseason who were raving about how good AK was going to be this year.

Have you looked at the high level leadership of those companies, very few were U of MN graduates or have ties to the state beyond their career bringing them here.

If any of the rumors are true he has been trying to leave for several years now but none of these programs (Oregon, Tennessee, Nebraska, etc..) have returned his interest.

His recruiting is more like ground chuck that he tries to sell to the fans as prime grade A need

And Coylw isn’t going anywhere because at bigger programs the AD actually has to deal with boosters and be a public persona, things Coyle has proven incapable to do effectively.

It’s not just the players at Northwestern that are smarter than the gophers

Well apparently PJ isn’t recruiting that effectively. Mason had to recruit to the dome and significantly worse facilities yet still had multiple difference makers who had more than a cup of coffee in the NFL unlike PJ’s recruits.

Based on what. Compared to other Big 10 Jobs they don’t have the fan, booster, or NiL support of many other Big Ten programs. Nevermind that Minnesota high school football is a joke.

It never finishes that high under PJ. You fell for his marketing. Every year he fills his classes early relative to other schools and touts these top ranked classes, knowing full well once other schools fill their classes that his class rankings will drop like a brick. At that point he...

If you believe any of the rumors, PJ has tried repeatedly to leave Minnesota since arriving here (Oregon, Tennessee, Nebraska, etc) but none of those jobs have reciprocated his/his representatives interest.

Gophers couldn’t hire any better. They have no big boosters, no fan support, no NIL, and no instate talent.
