per Greder:
Gophers defensive players call coordinator Joe Rossi “Guru,” and, well, he doesn’t care for it all that much. It’s a flattering nickname, so why is that?
“Well, because it’s about players, not coaches,” Rossi responded. “Players have to go out and make plays. Players have to go out and execute the defense, and I prefer for it to be ‘guru players,’ quite frankly.”

Gophers defensive coordinator Joe Rossi doesn’t like ‘Guru’ nickname, but it’s fit in past seasons
Minnesota's defense looks much better in 2021 than it did last season

Go Gophers!!
