Ok. So I don't agree with you, so I suck. Fleck has done a decent job, but he is not the second coming of Nick Saban. Fleck is not going to be, nor should he be fired, I've been clear that I agree with that. Am I waiting for the other shoe to drop? No. I'm fairly certain that 2019 and 2023 are...

Flecktites. Variation of -ites: The highly vocal group of fans who became fans in 2017 who think any statement about Fleck's performance that does not speak glowingly of his name and recognize his absolute greatness by standing and cheering loudly when he walks in the room are "agitators,"...

So when PJ says, "I'm not for everyone," does he need to grow up? The Flecktites need to let go of the belief that PJ is the only coach who cares about his players. That belief is patently ridiculous. Are there coaches with "shitty public personas?" Absolutely. Are they the majority? No. I...

My fandom started in 1986. I've seen a lot of very good RBs on often on some really bad teams. Top three: Darryl Thompson - the 98-yard TD against Michigan was a thing to behold. I wish DT could have played on better teams. He deserved it. Marion Barber III - tough as nails. Heart of a...

We can agree to disagree, but assuming I wouldn't like whatever Coyle did is factually incorrect. If he handled it with the professionalism befitting a B1G AD, I wouldn't have had an issue with it. He did not. Issuing a Press Release at 1:20 AM is not usual. It is not professional. It's possible...

Yes, I had the facts wrong. Glad he made the effort to tell Ben to his face. Still a chicken shit move to send out the press release at 1:20 in the morning, but my outrage is misplaced. It's exactly what I expect from Coyle. The surprise is he handled the conversation with Johnson...

Yes, I had the facts wrong about HOW Coyle shit the bed again based on what I'd heard and the snippets I saw and didn't dig into make sure I had it right (it's almost as if I rely on Tik Tok for my news....., but I don't) so I'll take ownership of that. If I were a reporter, I'd be fired, but...

No issue with cutting the cord. No issue with move one. There is a way to do this with dignity and respect for everyone involved. The two things are NOT mutually exclusive. Dignity and respect are two things that Mark Coyle has lacked in his entire tenure here - and is a big warning shot to...

Four years later, Mark Coyle is worse than an F

Yes, he fired him to his face when they landed—then sent the note at one in the morning. That was incredibly disrespectful to Ben Johnson, even though the firing was deserved, and stupid. Who wants to work for a guy who treats his employees that way? It IS consistent with how Coyle has handled...

Coyle making the right decision is a massive IF. Coyle has consistently made poor decisions and handled things in the worst possible way, including announcing the firing at 1:21 AM. I don't care about basketball, which is why I'm never over here, but from all accounts the worst thing Ben Johnson...

Wait, is this the wrong forum? (IYKYK)

I would not be shocked if Max ends up somewhere, and I would also not be surprised if, under the right circumstances, he replicates Brock Purdy's success. That said, for every Brock Purdy, there is a busload of guys with enough talent to be successful in the NFL that never make it. I'm keeping...

Both Faus and Pawola are known quantities, both have spent time on PJ's staffs in the past. Faus came back from a stint at Kent State, Pawola left with Rossi (I'm assuming) to Michigan State, after several years at Minnesota and was recently promoted there (last month) before coming back. Hendy...

I agree that recruiting rankings are less than accurate, but to suggest that Wisconsin is struggling in recruiting seems a little off, given the data available. I hope they continue to fall apart, but I'm not going to say their recruiting sucks when it's better than ours by a generally accepted...

Well, since you asked: If you take out Ohio State's three weak NC games, they would have ranked 2 in the nation vs. 1st. That includes the four games against Tennessee, Oregon (the second one), Texas, and Notre Dame. If you look at them only using the conference schedule, they would have...

Recruiting results after a miserable season for WI and what "easily" could have been at least a 10-3 record for MN in 2024 if you listen to the Flecktites Class of 2025: 2025 Overall Rec. Rank* 2025 Portal Rank* Minnesota 50/15 B1G 22 Nat/7 B1G Wisconsin 27/9 B1G 12 Nat/3 B1G *24/7...

Kind of like Coyle extending Fleck after last year??? Throwing rocks is not the best idea when your AD is a glass house. Some details beyond the headline: Per CBS Sports: "Wisconsin historically gives out one-year extensions to all its coaches at the conclusion of every season for...

He led the team in tackles. He was First team Coaches, second team media. All great accomplishments. And I take nothing from him on that. He was one of our best players on defense. My point is that we can celebrate his accomplishments and still admit if we're going to get better, and be Fleck's...

Everybody misses tackles. Lindenberg missed a lot (well above average), particularly on the outside—hence my statement that he was not elite. Koi has three more years to prove himself, but he was a difference-maker on the field all season long. He's the best safety we've had since Tyrone Carter...
