    John Beilein is my pick. Prove he's not the right choice

    *Apologize ahead for side stepping this thread* Not pointing this at you Otis, but I get tired of people bagging on Woog for going with all MN players. Fourteen year stint as coach- First twelve years- Six Final Fours (1 OT Loss for NC , 2 3rds, 3 4ths) Six Sweet Sixteens Five regular...

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    While money is not irrelevant, I think the key to retaining PJ is Mark Coyle. After meeting and trying to hire PJ when he was at Syracuse, Coyle knew he could coach, he knew he was a program changer, knew he was a once in a generation guy. I think the two bonded but, as Coyle stated, Syracuse...

    Shooter: Murray Warmath had a career-high salary of $37,500 a year, Fleck gets $375K a month

    If PJ can take the team to two Rose Bowls and win a National Championship I'd say he's a bargain at that price.

    Sid: P.J. Fleck engineered historic Gophers turnaround; end of Claeys era "lowest points for any major college football program"

    I wholeheartedly agree on a couple of your points Crosby. PJ has done a fabulous job so far. I'm not ready to start renaming stadiums or erecting statues yet. If he continues on his current trajectory, I'll be all in. As PJ has said himself, it's easy to look like a genius when you win, but...

    Rutgers hires Robb Smith as Defensive Coordinator

    With the sudden upswing in defensive performance, it's easy to understand the crowds distaste for Robb Smith. But in reality, it wasn't like Joe Rossi came in an implemented a brand new defensive plan. If I recall correctly, even Fleck said that the plan stayed basically the same, but the...

    Can this become a Gopher football town instead of Vikings?

    If the tables were turned and the Vikings had been uncompetitive, bordering on incompetent, for fifty years, they would likely be the Tucson Vikings right now. The U has had one 9, one 10 and an 11 win season now in the last fifty years. While they have avoided a winless season, twenty-one of...

    Can this become a Gopher football town instead of Vikings?

    I think it would be unlikely without a major shift in values. Right now the focus is on pro football. It has been a little over fifty years. It is a juggernaut at this moment, but college ball DWARFED it at one time. The exact opposite of this conversation would have taken place. But never is a...

    Can we give the man a DAMN RAISE?????

    Absolutely. I think they did somewhat to the marketplace. Not necessarily for the Gopher offer, but WMU did work up a new contract for him after people started asking. It would take some digging to work up the exact time line. As far as a counter offer, I have to believe it happens regularly...

    Can we give the man a DAMN RAISE?????

    Yes. The fact of the matter is the athletic budget at WMU could not compete with the U for his services AND it was a job he was interested in taking. He was courted by other schools ( Purdue, Coyle himself at Syracuse ) and Fleck said no. End of conversation. Minnesota happened to be one of...
