Curious to what you mean be this...he was falsely accused and punished under a Title IX complaint investigation.We came very close to losing him a few years ago - PJ Fleck had to do one of his best recruiting jobs to keep him here and convince the Winfield family that things were going to be different. It really worked out for them and it sure worked out for us, too!!
Correct and there was tons of speculation he was unhappy about being and drug into the situation. Word was PJ had to convince them to keep him enrolled hereCurious to what you mean be this...he was falsely accused and punished under a Title IX complaint investigation.
He was furious with the previous coaching regime and said publicly that the coach wasn't watching out for his son....Curious to what you mean be this...he was falsely accused and punished under a Title IX complaint investigation.
Plenty of highlight plays for only 2+ full seasons.

I remember Sr being upset by how AW Jr was being treated and portrayed by the U's investigation. I don't remember him stating that about the coach.He was furious with the previous coaching regime and said publicly that the coach wasn't watching out for his son....
Guys, let’s appreciate him for what he has accomplished, not for something he didn’t do! Out of respect for AW jr, let’s not derail this into an old argument.

Swing and a miss.
He said his son would transfer if Coyle and Kaler remained in their jobs.

Mine was a response to someone else. But I'm done. A later poster was right, this thread should be to celebrate one of the best Gophers of all time and we have all offseason to fight over Claeys/Coyle/Kaler/Kill/etc.
THIS is what I had read and meant too - thanks Pitino fan for digging it up.I think you’re both right.
Winfield, a Texas resident, traveled north to Minnesota to receive answers. He said he went to Coyle’s office but wasn’t given a meeting. Winfield also was upset with Claeys and defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel.
“They didn’t pick up the phone,” Winfield said about when the suspensions were levied. “Those guys came to my house and looked me in my eye, and I told them, ‘Take care of my son.’ And this is what you show me? I don’t respect it. I’m hot.”
Gophers players to boycott football, possibly Holiday Bowl, over suspensions

It's odd, fairly recent terminology, but this kid is a "baller".
There’s nothing to fight over Bob.
The #but9wins argument died forever in Evanston on 11/23. Fleck surpassed anything the previous regime ever accomplished. Claeys is a LB coach and Jerry is a special assistant. They are both washed up and Fleck is getting nominated for every coach of the year award in the country after giving us the best regular season in a generation. The arguments are over, forever.
And, like most recent terminology, about as stupid and inane as it gets. A term used by the incredibly un-hip to attempt relevancy. Hate it. Makes anyone sound stupid.
FYI, not you.
Pretty sure he won't win it this year. Since Delpit already won it and all. I did find it odd he was a finalist for defensive POY but not the Thorpe Award.He went through a lot - and has now made five All-American teams for this season, including Walter Camp, which is one of the five NCAA-specified "consensus" choosers. the other four (AP, Coaches, etc.) are still out. I hope Winfield sticks around ONE more year and wins the Thorpe award (if he doesn't win it this year). Tyrone Carter won it in '99.
