Coyle wanted a re-boot, so the first thing was a new HC hire. But Fleck will also want a fresh start, as does every new HC. This will likely mean:
- "tanking" year 1 - not literally, but PJF will be looking to build for the future, probably peaking in year 4 just in time for contract extension. This means Gophers will not win too many games in 2017. So, don't hold your hopes out for a bowl game in 2017
- new players - "the 10" are as good as gone. There is nobody that will speak up for them now. The last person that did was fired! Who would dare defend "the 10" with such repercussions. It would have been good to see Seth Green in a Gopher uniform, but I do not believe that to be likely at this point
- no JC recruits - building for the future likely means not plugging immediate holes. I would anticipate only HS recruits come signing day in February
- new slogan - no more brick-by-brick. I am sure PJF will come up with something new
- lower price tickets - Coyle/PJF needs to fill the seats, especially when the team will likely be less competitive. So i expect ticket prices to go down, and more promotions of discount tickets (especially to students)
Hope I am wrong, and the Gophs make a lower bowl game this year.
