Go Gophers!!
Go Gophers!!
Can't they find him a role in the Gophers football non-coaching staff or Athletics department?
Surely there is something for him to contribute to the team.

I've seen a lot of anger at different place on the web/Twitter over Sherels not being on the staff, but it certainly seems like his health is a huge factor in this. We have so few alumni who are rising in the coaching ranks, and to lose Sherels (and to a lesser extent Weber) hurts. I hope the best for Coach Sherels and would love to see him on the staff in any capacity as long as he's healthy.
Ok that's fine and all, but hopefully the U helps with his medical expenses?
When did it become newspapers jobs to decide who deserves to be assistant coaches and who doesn't?
Adam Weber also a great guy who has given a ton to the university, why no stumping for him?
Not only newspapers but anyone with a pulse and access to twitter thinks he should be hired as an assistant coach.When did it become newspapers jobs to decide who deserves to be assistant coaches and who doesn't?
So basically, it sounds like the story is...
Sherels isnt healthy enough to fulfill his role as a coach....Sherel's says he understands why he won't be on staff, and gives a testament to Fleck's character as a person and as a coach. Sherel's is also hopeful that he will be back on the staff, once a 10th spot is open.
What's the big outrage about?
All the ACs got medical insurance for this year

No it doesn't, not at all.
The story is that this is the University of Fleck football program now, he wants his guys, and everybody better be all right with that, even if it hurts the feelings of fans of Minnesota football.
Gee, I thought Claeys told us everything was just great with Gopher Football. It sounds like Mike Sherels disagrees.per Chip:
Sherels said he has had positive conversations with Fleck since he was hired.
"He’s been nothing but great to me," Sherels said. "I don’t have a bad word to say about him. I really don’t."
Sherels said he met with Fleck last week to discuss his thoughts on the Gophers program and share his insight as a former two-time team captain and assistant coach.
"I had a lot of thoughts about the team, the direction that it needed to go and things that needed to change," Sherels said. "And he sat down and listened to every one of them. Those to me were a lot more important than trying to get my job saved. This has been a hole for 13,14 years since I’ve been here. 'This is what’s wrong with Minnesota football right now.' I went through a long list. He sat down and listened and took notes."

Not sure if your response is positive or negative, but your description pretty much sounds like the situation at every successful college football program in the country - and something we have been sorely lacking around here. I wish Coach Sherels the best and fully expect him to get added to the staff when it becomes possible (assuming his health allows it) but dedicating 10% of your assistant coaching quota in the name of PR is something a program that is okay with 5-8 wins does.
Coach Fleck may or may not succeed here, but at least it appears that we are finally dipping our toes into the cesspool that is major college football run by megalomaniacs.
