Michael Rand: What if ... Glen Mason had been hired by Ohio State?

If he had gotten the OSU job, we would have been able to hire his replacement from a position of relative strength. A coach moving on to greener pastures typically means he has left the program on a decent footing. It's when you you're looking for a coach because you're at rock bottom that the coaching search is tough. Holtz left the program a lot better than he found it. Gutekunst did have a couple terrible years, but he did also have two seasons with 5 Big Ten wins. Perhaps we could have made a better hire after Holtz.

Mason would have done OK with OSU's built-in advantages, but would he have done well enough to have lasted?
 

What if former Gopher Bud Wilkinson had come to Minnesota instead of Oklahoma? What if Bud Grant had returned to coach the Gophers? What is the point?

What if there wasn't a snow storm and John Wooden had been able to sign his contract with Minnesota
 

If onlys and justs were candies and nuts, then everyday would be Erntedankfest.
 

Mason would've won in a big fashion because his weakest point, recruiting, is immediately taken care off
