Big Ten Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2017

[Gopher07]

Dish on all the teams in here, but here's the Gophers:

“P.J. Fleck is walking into some good talent at Minnesota. Jerry Kill and his staff and Tracy Claeys had some players on those teams. It wasn’t enough for the new A.D. I guess, but they’ve been able to win some games and scare great teams."

"Fleck has proven himself in a certain way. Not as a Big Ten coach, obviously. But he’s proven he can build a program around all that character. He took WMU to the Cotton Bowl. That means he’s doing something right. He’s proven he can recruit, but now he has to win real battles. At WMU he was the king of taking the ‘best of the rest’ in Michigan. The Big Ten is different. But he’s coming in with a lot of confidence. He’s got that kind of enthusiasm that, even though us as coaches think it’s corny, it works with the players."

"Can they run a pure spread option outdoors in Minnesota? It’s not impossible, but it could get interesting. Trying to be Wisconsin was never going to work because they can’t get the same kind of players or create that level of consistency."

"They have good running backs. I’d expect they’ll build out the attack from those guys."

"He stepped into a really smart situation, and they could win that division if some games break the right way.”

Do we believe these coach accounts or Athlon and the media who say pretty much the opposite
