ESPN's Bennett on Claeys: Whom could the Gophers reasonably hire who would be better?

[mnsportsgeek]

No doubt he would be an improvement as a coach. But if what the struggling program is hurt by is quarterback play, game management, over-conservatism, and undisciplined play...Les Miles is not the guy you want.

I do think he would be better. I don't think he could win a conference title at minnesota though.

Maybe not a conference title. I wonder if anyone could do that, but I'd bet that we'd be a perennial division title contender.

It's all dreams though. We won't pay a coach more than 2 million dollars, and that will get us a young hopeful or an old guy with a known ceiling. We will never get a proven coach. Sigh.

Yeah, it's not like we've done that within the last year or anything.

Is it possible that we might see the offense take some deep shots down the field in the next few games?

You keep saying, I wanted Saban. Get real. Only a few schools in the nation would get a chance to get him.

Sarcasm dude.
