They won for three decades prior to his arrival, and all the blue bloods left the conference. In a shitty conference is part of my point. If you can’t win a shitty conference why would he win here?

U guys use “it’s impossible to win big at Mn” as a crutch for all our and PJ ills. I personally think to say it’s easier to win at KSU is nonsensical. We are in the power conference along with the SEC, we have all kinds of money flowing in, have a great stadium, nice facilities — I guess I just have more regard for The U and our standing in the world than you.

Bill Snyder is either dead or close to it.

I can see a helmet school being sold on the idea that, with upper-echelon resources, PJ could be hugely successful. And if I’m PJ and his reps I’m selling those schools on the fact that he has achieved success despite getting relatively zero support from Minnesota. Not saying I agree, but I can 100% see that happening.

Has to be a school that wants to run a late 20th Century Tressel/Schiano offense. Wisconsin?!

Simply being in a power conference doesn’t make it easier to win. What advantage do we have over anyone else in our power conference? So you must think what Klieman has done at KSU is more impressive than what Fleck has done here.

I was joking in my original post about Lindsey going to Arkansas and bringing Fleck with him, but it is the only way Fleck ends up at Arkansas.

Fleck's approach will not be received well in the SEC. He'd be a fool to try it.

If former Arkansas coach Houston Nutt is any indication. Arkansas fans would be okay with PJ’s schtick. Nutt is still beloved by a large part of their fanbase and had the nickname of the “reverend” because of his sermons and schtick with the fanbase when coaching there.

It is funny, because I realize we're stuck with PJ and he's stuck with us. We're not going to fire him because he runs a clean program, does a ton in the community and wins half his games. That said, no top program is ever going to take a chance on him because he only wins half his games. Its a stalemate.

If he is ever going to leave this would be the year. There are a lot of good jobs open or soon to be open and not a lot of high end coaching talent out there. PJ may be 5th or more on a schools wish list and still get the job because they struck out on all the other guys.

Even though we won, I can't see any big time program watching this offense and saying oh yeah sign me up for that.
