As most on these boards are aware by now, the most recent batches of rumors state the Gophers are down to three top candidates. Allegedly, Maturi and Dave Mona were on a plane with a destination of California.
One can only assume that those two are going to interview SDSU coach Brady Hoke. This is just my own speculation with now source, but safe money would say they may stop in Colorado to talk to Troy Calhoun
Several people on these boards are upset because these three names are not the "Home Run" or "Tubby Smith" hire promised to them by Maturi. According to rumor (for the most part) Jim Harbaugh said no, Mike Bellotti said no, Phil Fulmer said no. You are dreaming if you felt Petersen or Patterson was leaving to come here. He contacted the big guys and they said no thank you. I think that sadly shows where are program stands on a national scale.
So my question is, what is Maturi suppose to do? I can understand if you are upset that we are not pursuing Leach, but there is more there than we know I think because many schools have passed on him.
After the big 3 Leach and Bellotti I don't know if there was an HR or TS candidate left.
