look, I like Ben Johnson as a person. he seems like a good dude. And I would like to see him succeed at MN.
But when a team is not just losing, but looking bad - and the team is only drawing a few thousand people a game - patience only goes so far.
I have changed my opinion on this.
If next year is as bad as this year - or even close - I think there is a good chance that Johnson is gone after year 3. That will not make me happy, but you can't ignore the situation. the local media is openly laughing at the Gopher men's basketball program.
we have seen that Coyle will pull the plug on a coach if Coyle feels the program is not heading in the right direction.
well, the gopher men's basketball program is not heading in the right direction,
If they don't show major improvement next year - let's say an overall record over .500 and at least 6 to 8 B1G wins, I think Johnson will be gone.
