Its really incredible how much shit the guy can throw at the wall as speculation, and spin it as well I heard some rumbling from a few guys. Guy rarely hears anything of substance, just picks something within the realm of possibility to lean on that he leaves open ended so he can say he thinks he was right lol.Before we take this report as gospel, can we recognize:
* Doogie has flung a lot of feces against the wall over the years and most of it hasn’t stuck
* The same day we see a report that Conroy is the leading contender for Utah State which of course would be the major reason why he hasn’t been announced as being retained
* Doogie’s tossing out a nugget that can never be confirmed nor would anyone with a brain ever say any such thing on record. Who’s putting up the resistance? The question of assistant coaches wasn’t discussed with Coyle with Conroy and Thorson as part of the conversation? (Seems unlikely) My BS detector’s going off on this one.
Well, Mplsgopher was named "King of Bad Takes" for a reason.GopherTeetch logic....Star Tribune makes observation/publishes story of racial make up of U of M coaches>MplsGopher is offended>U hires black coach>must be because of star tribune
Nice
I know it's hard to believe after the last 8 years but players actually get better over time and aren't the same players they were 4 years ago.MN should use the same approach to hiring coaches that they do with acquiring new basketball players. Go get the people you thought were not good enough for your team 4 years ago.
This is incredible.
First of all, "very soon" isn't exactly going out on a limb as a scoop to the question of "When will he hire assistants?".
That answer would be accurate for every newly hired coach, everywhere, always.
It's like passing off "very soon" as a scoop to the question, "When will the next full moon occur."
Of COURSE it'll be "very soon."
And second, the "there's resistance" line is such obvious bullshit no person with a triple digit IQ could possibly give it a second thought.
Clearly you're not getting it either. So in this case we know (as do Coyle anf Gable likely) that Ben is a source for Doogie. Don't you think that they may not appreciate a leak like that and can reasonably assume it's source?. I would think that would lead to an uncomfortable work environment now and in the future. We can agree to disagree on that if you like if you don't think Coyle and Gable are that smart. Or that Ben isn't that dumb.Do what??
They can't prove he said anything.
Clearly you're not getting, and don't want to get it. We can just agree to disagree.
Prove it.we know (as do Coyle anf Gable likely) that Ben is a source for Doogie.
LikewiseProve it.
Like I said ...
For someone who retreats quickly to, "Hey it's a message board! Our takes don't matter," you get awfully combative with other posters whose takes, according to you, shouldn't matter.You mean, post on an anonymous message board, where our takes don't matter??
Will do!!
Replying = combative?you get awfully combative
This is not on subject, but how can a 50 year old guy have the name of "Doogie?" The danger of nick names when you're a kid.Doogies annoying, but Ben is a source of his. Doogies been more right that wrong the last couple weeks.
I think he's only 40, but I would not mind referring to him as Doofie instead.This is not on subject, but how can a 50 year old guy have the name of "Doogie?" The danger of nick names when you're a kid.
Agreed. This wouldn’t make any sense.I'm not sure Liam follows Ed to Utah State. First, if Queto (sp?) stays, he obviously doesn't go there. Even if he follows Smith to Utah, does Liam want to go down a level of competition? Also, does he get a 2nd waiver?
I would bet that all assistants are announced at one time. Once candidate my be still coaching for Baylor and one might be leaving to be a HC at Utah State. Until Baylor loses or Ed takes the Utah State job, this is very fluid. Probably another week.
Exactly. We need them on the road connecting with recruits for next year and the class of 22. Now!I'm just curious on the reasoning and positives of announcing them all at once? For one, the sooner we get one on the books, the sooner they are recruiting for us in a busy spring. Two we may be waiting on some to get other jobs (I don't think Utah State is the only one Conroy is going after). I get the idea of an official press conference or announcement from the U, but you'd think we'd hire/announce/leak one soon so they can start working the phones on recruits to help Ben out.

List of possibilities, waiting on Conroy decision or still in tourney or waiting for someone to say yes.Exactly. We need them on the road connecting with recruits for next year and the class of 22. Now!
Honest question. In other coaching changes, have their assistants been announced yet? No matter the reason for the delay, this seems like an inordinately long time to wait for any real information other than our local fan favorite provincial list. I see no benefit at all of waiting until the whole slate is ready.
I get that but it’s be nearly impossible to be a secret if an assistant is making calls.They don't need to be publicly announced to start working for the team.
Iowa State has announced two assistant additions. Both were announced separatelyExactly. We need them on the road connecting with recruits for next year and the class of 22. Now!
