GOPHERS HIRING BEN JOHNSON

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

 

[boofbonser]

No

 

[Bad Gopher]

OMG

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Thats too bad

 

[Tucker32]

I hope that's not correct.

 

[dpodoll68]

Gross.

 

[USAF]

Stated as fact on KFAN just now.

 

[Rickman55]

What a HUGE letdown. Can’t wait to hear what Coyle has to say about the hire.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

How is this the hire? I can't possibly understand that. If true, I'm all in, of course, but what on his resume would lead to this job???????

 

[forever a gopher]

Good grief, don't let this be true. Not when there are much better candidates.

 

[Bad Gopher]

I'm afraid.

 

[TruthSeeker]

Extremely underwhelming. Coyle either sucks or no one wanted the job.

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Wow, can he bring JP Macura with him?

 

[Utah State Fan]

As a Utah State fan, this makes me extremely happy. Johnson may be great, but you guys really missed out on Craig Smith. He would have been fantastic at Minnesota.

 

[West Fargo Gopher Fan]

The Canadian sprinter guy? Fast

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

People thought Dennis Gates had a weak resume? And we hire Ben Johnson?????

 

[boofbonser]

How is that the hire? Obviously best of luck to him and I hope he succeeds, but seemed like there were much better options available.

 

[NDGopher69420]

Big Ten school acting like a mediocre mid major program. What a joke.

 

[Bad Gopher]

I can only hope this report is an error.

 

[whalenfan]

This is surprising, gonna need to hire a big time staff.

 

[Otis]

OMFG! Did the Strib make this hire?

Holy Not ready for Primetime Batman!

I will not honor my 4 year no hard time on the new coach commitment.

He had better produce quickly.

 

[golf]

Please let today be April 1.

 

[bizzle22]

Surprised Coyle went with this big of a risk. Guessing $$ played a big role.

 

[bonin21]

Sounds like Gopher basketball. Mediocrity is the expectation

 

[Rickman55]

Coyle must think Johnson has such a connection locally that he can keep the best players home and he’s also a cheap hire. Let’s see if he can reel in Chet.

 

[tyecko]

What in the fucking fuck

 

[GopherPoke]

I guess that's why we're all posting on a fan forum and not sitting in an AD's office.
I don't know what to think about this.
Go Gophers!

 

[Mikie S]

Well he checks a couple boxes.

He's black and will be cheap.

 

[Ho Jon]

People thought Dennis Gates had a weak resume? And we hire Ben Johnson?????

Gates does have a weak resume. Johnson has no resume.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Coyle must think Johnson has such a connection locally that he can keep the best players home and he’s also a cheap hire.

He couldn’t keep delasalle kids here when he was coaching here...
