Fire Ben Johnson

[Strongazzoffer]

We might not have to fire him

The CDH Raiders? Pretty sure Ben's mom is still the librarian at Cretin?

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I am wondering if Stan is boycotting. A Stancott.

I'm trying to picture big dawg going 1v1 in the post with Danny

Damn! Danny’s only 6 inches taller. I did have to guard Joe Wolf on the state semis. He was 6’10” at the time. Yes, we lost.

He couldn't do any worse than Josh McDaniels. Make the Raiders scrappy again.

The Raydahs?

Talk about "Embrace The Suck."

With Ben gone, what will our roster even look like next year? Asuma, Grove, and a few walk ons?

Asuma will be a badger or a husker.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Asuma will be a badger or a husker.

...or a Cyclone, a la Gabe

 

[Oneoldgopher]

I know for a fact we’ll be able to shoot free throws better.

I know for a fact I could take a charge and then paddles afterward.

The new coach will bring his team with him...

 

[bmb5270]

Wow Ben sure can coach!

 

[Ewert86PC]

Wow Ben sure can coach!

He's 1-0 in the Michigan at the Barn Season.

Is Ben Johnson actually in trouble of losing his job? I know all the fans want him gone but following last season it seemed like Coyle was happy with how the program was progressing. Lack of NIL funds hurt since most players from last season didn't come back. Who could Minnesota even get? I think making the BTT would be a must for Ben

 

[Tucker32]

Who could Minnesota even get? No one. We are only a Big Ten program and no one really wants to be a part of that conference.

Good question. It hasn't really come up.

 

[Big Dawg]

Finally. Been waiting so patiently for this thread.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Welcome Hanson 22, Ben is a good dude and I hope he is able turn this season around with the remaining conference games. Then we do not need to worry about hiring a new coach for men’s bball. Mich tomorrow night on a chilly MN night.

It’s beginning!

2nd best D1 program in the state. St Thomas at the moment is a better job than MN and they are still in postseason ban

Not sure we need another thread on Ben's job status but why not I guess.

Coyle and many fans were happy (myself included) with the progress shown in year 3 and the team had a roster of guys who could be back in year 4 to keep building on year 4. But that didn't happen.

So yeah....in answer to your question.....Ben Johnson is 100% in danger of losing his job and it would take a miracle at this point for them not to make a coaching change after the season.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

I've seen this thread this many times

 

[MUgopher32]

We should try an set a team message board record and see how many threads we can get with the head coaches name in the title revolving around virtually the exact same convo

False. Minnesota could take the entire St. Thomas staff and team if they wanted. But no interest in being a middling mid-major.

This stinks of a puppet account...

Coyle said NCAA tournament or bust. So either Ben is gone or Coyle adjusts his metrics.

The over/under on this is 13.35.

If the NCAA would just expand the tournament to 364 teams we'd have a chance.

Portable goalposts!
