Ben Johnson is a Disaster

Donate To GopherHole

We spent all our time and efforts on practice players...

I've almost convinced myself Ben promised Christie the world to stay committed. And he's having to tell these kids we want ya but ya ain't starting...

Can't keep more than 8 guys happy. Give the last three scholarships to Ramberg, Purcell and Reader and call it a day.

This does seem to be Ben's recruiting style. And it's likely going to lead to year 3 being the worst year yet, which seems unimaginable, but it's not with our current roster.

Everyone that said we should have fired him after this past season, were rightfully correct. Everyone saying to bring him back for a 3rd year of this shit, were wrong. Back to back to back 14th place finishes on the horizon.

I still think the buyout was too big after last year. Also thought Ben could maybe make it happen in portal this year as others did. Not looking good at this point.

No amount of money should prevent this thing from being run into the ground. Also, what's the cost of missing out on revenue because ticket sales plummet? It's just gonna be a waste of a season.

Yeah those numbers I do not know and may be true.

There will be 2,000 people in the Barn this season. They should have cut their losses and paid the buyout. Now an entire year is lost.

What can he possibly promise that he couldn't promise Evans?
 






The apologists, sycophants, and eternally delusionals aren't here scolding us this morning.

Odd.

So we lost Cooper, Henley, Battle and TT all with eligibility left. And replaced that with Mitchell and a former walk on football player?! I didn't think it was possible to be worse than last year, but Ben might just do it.

Actually the replacements are Ihnen, Fox, Mitchell, Christie and the big guy. So far. Henley was the biggest loss for the program.

So two guys who haven't played in two and a half years. One who when he did play, wasn't good. And one who played D2. The 130th ranked recruit, and walk on football player? Yikes.

Mitchell was a good addition. But he's been the only one. I'm honestly stunned Ben landed him given how shitty he is in the portal.
