0 for 3 on the Big 3

Teague had a candidate for coach who could have landed 1, maybe more of the Big 3 in Saunders, but he chose not to look at the short term. Saunders may have brought in more donor money in the short term, may have gotten all 3 of the Big 3 to put UMn in their Top 5 lists, and he may have gotten 1, 2 or all 3 of them. But if 2 of them bolted after their freshman seasons, and then Teague is stuck with a coach he doesn't feel he can control, well, we know what he did. He went with a younger up and coming coach, he took a chance on someone he thought had the right pedigree, who he could trust and maybe control for at least the first couple of years, and if he loses control, it would only be because he turned the program into a natl title contender and then why would he care?!

I call BS. But thanks for playing.

Words to live by.
 


I don't think Flip ever wanted to be the coach here, he used it as leverage on Glen Taylor for the GM job IMO, plus why fire one old guy and replace him with another? Because he attended the school?

Refering to the Iowa State fan who said his soul would be tortured if Vaughn goes to Kansas, not ISU and I said I would rejoice. Essentially since Vaughn ain't coming nothing would make me happier
