per Chip:
College football's offseason is known by those who cover the sport as "the silly season." Coaching searches can stray so far into the absurd without any hint of reality. Because why wouldn't Tony Dungy want to return to coach the Gophers whenever they have an opening?
That one is always good for a laugh.
Other times, the silly season makes perfect sense, and that can be especially maddening for fan bases (and athletic directors) with a coach whose name pops up in the rumor mill.
This is where the Gophers find themselves with P.J. Fleck.

Gophers fans need to get used to annual rumors for P.J. Fleck's departure
A young, energetic coach that has a good track record? Yes, other teams are going to express their interest in hiring him.
Go Gophers!!
