I know that I'm over 50 years old and PJ has led the best era of Gopher football in my lifetime. Could it be better? Sure. But it's still the best I've experienced as a fan. You honestly should just cheer for a different team if you can't stand PJ as much as you do. Or you're an Iowa fan just here to stir the pot.
There are a lot of programs that would love to play in 6 shitty bowls in the 7 years where there has been an opportunity to get to a bowl game.....
A good handful. Plus no Year Zero, they all knew the schemes and executed.
You significantly cherry pick posts to bitch about from me. I consistently criticize his game coaching, and how can ya not, and think people overreach on his results with the best example upon the quality of bowls we’ve gone to. PJ has done OK in a watered down conference with several opportunities to blow the lid off that he’s consistently failed to capitalize on. Personally, I’d rather watch Mason‘s team than PJ’s even with his defensive shortcomings.
Cherry pick? You basically work a rip on PJ into every post you make. You even did on the one I'm replying to right now. Hey I'm on record that I don't love Coyle but I don't need to bring it up every 5 minutes.
I don’t know I think I make plenty of posts where I don’t rip on PJ, but frankly, after the abomination that we all saw Saturday I’m perfectly comfortable sneaking whatever rips in this week I can. I’m totally cool if we lose games, I don’t expect us to win the conference or even go to a great ball game every year but watching horseshit football more often than not— that I take issue with.
I agree....it should be a great story. The only reason it isn't is because he comes across as a complete douche bag of a person.
I agree. I am 50 and went to the U from 1995-1998. I started watching and cheering for the Gophers in the mid 1980's when my friends dad had season tickets and we used to go watch them at the dome. I saw so many dreadful seasons sprinkled in with a little bit of hope here and there. I remember when Mason had them at 9 wins a couple of times and that was so awesome. Being totally honest the Gophers have been a bad program for the majority of my lifetime, and I think what PJ is doing is great. He is not perfect, and makes plenty of mistakes, but I feel for what he has to work with he does a great job. If he left my bet would be the program would be back to praying for 6 win years instead of complaining about 7-5 regular seasons. He's been here damn near a decade and has proven he can make the Gophers competitive more or less every year, and never an embarrassment. Maybe there is an embarrassing game here or there, but he does a lot with the hand he is dealt. I call out the gophers when I think they deserve it, but overall I think he's been a very good hire and I hope he stays a long time.
This is horseshit.
Well, the coaches I’ve known and had personally ranged from Mike Riley goofballs to truly deranged lunatics that need treatment and maybe institutional help. There is a sweet spot somewhere in the middle…
I think if he is going to leave it will be after this season. His stock won't get much higher then it would be coming off back to back playoff appearances with Indiana. Especially if this year they manage to be competitive in the playoff as well.
I've said it before, I wouldn't care if the coach drowns puppies in his free time if it meant the Gopher's were actual contenders for once in my lifetime. Who cares how he comes across? Our guy comes across as a phony to those who don't know, as we all all do, that he'd the genuine article.
Agreed. Why leave in the middle of the season. If he gets back into playoffs again, which seems likely, he'll be given a blank check at multiple schools. There might even be a better opportunity than PSU open for him if people know he wants to leave.
Don't waste your time arguing with the "this is as good as it gets" crowd.
Cool.
Congratulations on taking everything you read on a fan forum literally. I hope you don't have kids. Or click on links in too many suspicious emails.
Yes, I clearly took that literally. I did not pile onto your hyperbole for comedic effect.
"Who cares if Sandusky obliterated a bunch of kids' assholes? Penn State was a winner."
I am not convinced anyone in the country is that good
I like puppies more than kids
T Denny Sanford is a wealthy U alum. I think he is a pervert though.
