That’s what I’m thinking. Maybe Rose would have been on the way out, and a more legit coach might give these players more hope.
Because it's their names? Not sure what the issue is here.
Is this on video somewhere?.
Caitlin Clark just said she might play 2 more years in college, can we just hire her parents if they bring her??
Still leaves open then question whether it was decision made collaboratively, which I doubt, or a decision made after Coyle said ”I feel we need to make a change. Would you like to resign, announce it as a mutual decision and accept a position as a special assistant, or do you want me to fire you?”
Yikes!Problem is if I believe that, then I probably have to believe Coyle when he said that Ben Johnson blew him away in his interview.
Sounds more like she's mad at the media than Coyle, but initially from Coyle's press conference it was clear it wasn't totally mutual.
Agreed. She had been talking about her plans for the team next year as recently as this week. I hope she can facilitate keeping most of our current players. I believe in the end she will do what is best for the players and team. I’m still sad.
Absolutely. Not the first great player who didn't succeed as a coach, and won't be the last.
If it was true, Whalen would not have been fired up about the future in her comments yesterday. No indication she was going anywhere from her.The official story is that it was mutually agreed upon after a number of conversations. That rings true to me, and I believe it.

Talented roster, great practice facility's and academic support. LAST time I checked we are in the Big 10 conference and the Minnesota job has a decent to good Salary base, with potential for good incentives. Williams arena is a dump and is totally showing its age. The bathrooms stink, concourse are old. This arena really needs to be modernized with some more modern amenities and better locker and training rooms for the teams.
No, those tweets confirm it wasn’t mutual.
Honestly I don't blame any parent feeling this way. Coaching transitions are never easy. As a Gopher WBB fan I'm hoping the players at least keep an open mind to staying. Gophers fans that attend games, love the effort this team brings to the court and the fan base was actually building as the season went on. Sad for Coach Whalen, I remember a lot of her games as a player, and I was in Norfolk VA for Regions those magical games against Boston College and Duke, and New Orleans for the final four short lived as it was. That was such a magical time 2004 and season, I was so hoping the current players and staff would get to enjoy that kind of run. This last season's team was building a closeness and effort level like similar to the McCarville and Whalen era teams of 2002 to 2004 time frame.
I cannot agree, there was risk in hiring inexperienced coach. The staff and head coach seemed to have great rapport with the players and mutual respect. That's never a given, it is earned.
