Do you tell the Brady Pretzlaffs and Koi Perichs of the football world that you don't have a DC yet, but "I'm sure you're going to love playing for whomever we hire." Maybe a quick hire wouldn't have saved Pretzlaff... and maybe Koi still comes to MN... but the longer that the uncertainty...

Did Joe Rossi have to wait until after the bowl game?

PJ better be careful or the boat will sink... taking him down with it. Brewster became a joke in Minnesota because he couldn't get his coordinator situations squared away. The same could doom Fleck to a somewhat similar fate. Not nailing down the DC situation immediately was a bad move... He...

Yep... and not long ago, they were playing DIII football. In the last couple of seasons, while on probation, they've been crushing Pioneer teams (with one loss to Drake) using essentially DIII players. How long until they're politely asked to move on from the Pioneer League? If St. Thomas jumps...

It's happening... 2 teams in SD stealing their lunch money... UND and Northern Iowa still being pests... St. Thomas moving up might really hurt NDSU if they can convince some of those MN kids that an education here is much more desirable than one from Fargo. It's going to get real interesting...

I think NDSU fans should pay attention to Nebraska... it's what they've got to look forward to. They'll hang on to past glory just like the clodhoppers to the south, and they'll also have to face the fact that their football world will never be what it once was. Those days are most likely gone...

Hopefully, the Gophers will be loaded and have no need for him...

The game would be infinitely more interesting with Max Shikenjanski as QB... but Kramer has certainly earned the opportunity if he wants it.

...and that's the battle that PJ lost, leading to this 5-7 season. Bringing in a couple of nice players (and several that don't belong at this level) each year just isn't going to cut it. He's going to have to up his transfer portal game quite a bit to continue to field a competent squad.

Seems the 'net figures that Thor Griffith wants to play for either Ohio State or Michigan with his 1 remaining year... we'll see if either offer him.

To really, really simplify this... as long as his players continue to hand the football directly to the officials, I'm not jumping out of the boat. Just that one simple act speaks volumes about the young men PJ brings into the program. I'm not sure I wouldn't be happy tossing Greg Harbaugh out...

...by a dude

The players (and, often more importantly, the parents) have to drink the Kool-Aid, so to speak. That's the only way that PJ can overcome the lack of significant NIL money. Truth be told, I don't think PJ Fleck would want any player whose only concern is how much cash they're going to receive...

Yeah, it's great seeing what fine young men PJ has been bringing into the program. Definitely nice to see that none of his recruits, over the years, have seemed to be "train" enthusiasts.

If bringing in "his" boys to run his offense (and coach his QBs) is the hill PJ Fleck has decided to die on... He's in a lot of trouble. All he has to do is look back at what happened to the last Slogan-slingin' head coach we had here in Minnesota. Tim Brewster made mistake after mistake with...

Taylor Kitch as Tim Riggins was a pretty solid running back on Friday Night Lights... maybe he's got some eligibility.

They'd need to make some first downs to accomplish that...

I was really hoping that, with all the pressure off due to everyone on the planet knowing that tOSU was going to curbstomp the Gophers, the braintrust of Harbaugh & Simon (and Fleck) were going to let AK8 just sling it out there. That lasted about 1 play when AK drilled the ball into the turf.

Yep, that's what the Gophers have left... Anyone (healthy enough to play)

At some point, PJ is gonna have to face up to the fact that either AK8 isn't a very good college QB... or his boy Greg Harbaugh is not a quarterback whisperer.
