The Gophers will be lucky to win 3 B10 games. I think that will be his undoing. Nice guy but Ben just doesn’t seem to have the chops for B10 basketball as a coach.

The RPO scheme sucks! It’s a big reason why we can’t pass effectively. That and the fact our WRs can’t get open. We need to take a serious look at the offensive scheme and our OC/WR/TE coaches.

Almost every handoff to the RB they did is RPO. The QB hands it to the ball carrier with 2 hands on the ball and they wait a second of two before the RB goes. That’s RPO. I’d rather they do play action vs. RPO because the RB is alway moving towards the line and not stopping and waiting. It give...

It’s time for Coyle to sit down with PJ over a bowl of Difficult Conversations and ask him what is direction this team is going and why they are regressing. The offensive scheme is bad, the coaching and players execution is bad, and the progress of this team has stagnated.

I couldn’t hate the RPO anymore if I tried. It’s a second rate scheme and this team executes it poorly anyways.

This is what I call the “Phil Jackson Syndrome”. Phil Jackson was a genius when he was coaching Jordan, Pippen and Rodman. When he was coaching a collection of stiffs with the Knicks..not so much. All coaches suffer this at some point. Just look at Gregg Popovich…same thing. Bill Belicheck...

If the team is good, the atmosphere will be good regardless of the building. The barn is almost 100 years old. Why would we invest more money into it? Time to tear it down and build a new house and incorporate the raised floor and close seats to the court. Those are the only things that makes...

Williams Arena is a dump. The only redeeming thing about it is the raised floor and that’s not a good reason to keep it. Renovating it would just be putting lipstick on a pig.

Here are 3 reasons why AK was unsuccessful IMO. 1. The current OC/QB Coach is not of P5 caliber. AK had a really solid end of 2022 under KC. Harbaugh just doesn’t cut it and until PJ figures that out, don’t expect the new QB to be any better. 2. A significant drop off on the O Line played a big...

Next man up

Just curious, is Ben still a disaster? Took down the number on offense in the country on their own court. Bam!

Agreed. Now I’m waiting with bated breath to see what Dave H thinks since he is such a veteran of Gopherhole.

Somebody understands what I’m saying. Athan should, and likely will, start and play the entire game except for a token series. If he doesn’t, then he should question PJs desire to win. Tanner starting or playing major minutes has no long term benefit to this team. Frankly, he should never have...

The only thing that people truly care about is the raised floor. Who says you can’t build a shiny new arena from the ground up with a raised floor? The rest of Williams is a dump. I say tear it down and build a brand new arena.

If I’m Athan, and PJ starts Tanner ahead of me for this game, I transfer out immediately after the game. Tanner had a great career. He clearly is not the best QB on the team. He has also had 2 concussions this year. There is zero reason to start Tanner. No one is cheating him out of finishing...

Ben is playing with 2 veteran players down this year. He has 1 player that played meaningful minutes last year on this team. He has one player from the previous coach’s recruits (TT) that wouldn’t likely have been recruited by Ben and really is limited in what he contributes. He has an 8 man...

Jared Vanderbilt is a starter and he can’t shoot for $hit. You clearly don’t pay attention to the NBA.

Stats are for losers. He didn’t pass the sniff or eye test. But if we are going with stats, let’s go with 0 points and 38 yards passing with Tanner as the QB.

I’d take Carol Burnett over all of them. She is one tough cookie.
