Marcus Q&A with Coyle: "I’ve started to have conversations with people today...I’ve had conversations with people about who is interested and not"

[USAF]

Well, with a detailed, well-reasoned argument like that...

Your entire point is Gopher basketball needs to aim for mediocrity as a ceiling. Herb Sendek will have a good chance to get us back to .500!!

What a dumbass idea.

Detailed and well-reasoned enough?

This is why I never put anyone on ignore. This board is endless entertainment. I’m the same with this basketball team, once you learn it’s entertainment, your emotional highs and lows become muted in either direction. I love gopher hoops but my life will never be so involved emotionally with it to ruin my day .

Yeah, that's what we should strive for in our sports.
Muted highs and lows.

How entertaining!!

We were on a break.

Unagi!

Some of the same people who wanted Coyle to fire the head coach which he did also think Coyle will screw up the hiring of the next coach.

Then why fire the current head coach if you’re just going to screw up the new hire?

GHole never change. You provide endless entertainment.

because if Coyle throws darts to pick the next coach.......it's going to be hard to screw it up worse.

22 - 57

Just Damn!

That’s me personally, you do what ever you want.

When season ticket purchases fall year-over-year and ticket prices with them, it is a failure to understand the value of money. Coyle is making the mistake of believing a budget determines cash flow and profitability. The only thing that does is the product. Right now, the product is crap making the budget garbage.

In person attendance for hoops is a drop in the bucket financially compared to TV money, Football, and revenue sharing.

He has stated the regents expect him to follow a budget. Blame the correct party.

Every AD has some sort of a budget. Sure, some SEC football programs and Oregon probably have insanely wealthy booster groups that buyout and pay for new coaches like it's nothing, but you can't tell me that schools like the U - Indiana, Illinois, Purdue, Wisconsin, Iowa, Iowa State, Missouri (insert other midwestern flagship school) don't have AD's that have to answer to the administration and regents before spending money.

Do you think advertisers are chasing down the Minnesota games going "That's the place for my ad dollars"? I don't think so. As a revenue sharing league, we exist on the largess of others. If we don't attempt to pull our weight, then that looks bad and is bad. It is bad for everyone.

I was under the impression President Gabel got involved and forced Coyle into a corner about who he could hire.

She did. Coyle should have said, no way. I was joking about the "Ben blew him away" comment. I think Coyle understood that Ben should not have gotten the job, but had hopes he could succeed because of his character.
