Mike Sanford Fired

[AtTheLibrary]

Looks like changes on the offense coming

I'm guessing Matt Simon gets the job, and we hire a new WR coach?

Let’s hire a wide receiver coach off a staff with mediocre wideouts and no passing game

 

[GopherFanatic19]

OMG YESSSSS

 

[MNVCGUY]

Well that didn’t take long. Got our answer about Morgan and Sanford within 2 days of the Wisconsin game.

will be interesting to see what direction fleck goes with this hire.

WHATTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!?????????

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Either bring back Kirk or promote Simon/Patterson.

 

[MplsGopher]

NO F'ING WAY!!!!!! HAAAA HAAAA!!!!

PJ Fleck, you did it. You put your ego (your hyper sense of loyalty) aside, and did what was best for the program!!!!

 

[MplsGopher]

I'm guessing Matt Simon gets the job, and we hire a new WR coach?

Why? Let Patterson be QB coach and get promoted to Passing Game coordinator!

 

[ethomasp31]

Nothing from Ryan Burns or Marcus yet...

 

[Chilledball]

Thank you PJ. This is huge for the program. Shows fleck will choose logic over loyalty

SUCK IT

hahahahahahahaha

Some guy wrong for the 1293001329123809&*(*& -th time!

 

[rowdaboat]

Bye bye, maybe he can find a 9 man high school to run

 

[goldengophers]

100% all in on PJ.

 

[Some guy]

Either bring back Kirk or promote Simon/Patterson.

Absolutely not to number 2

 

[spermophilus]

Guess Coach had a difficult conversation for his birthday breakfast.

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

I PJ

 

[salzie]

I'm guessing Matt Simon gets the job, and we hire a new WR coach?

he could change, but I know in past PJ wanted his OC to be QB coach as well

 

[MplsGopher]

Absolutely not to number 2

Some guy saying not to do this -- GUARANTEES IT'S THE CORRECT DECISION

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Absolutely not to number 2

Why not?

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

It's not surprising this move was made quickly with so much recruiting happening over the next few weeks.

 

[Word]

Wait, so MplsGopher was wrong about something? Wow never thought I'd see the day. /S

 

[MplsGopher]

he could change, but I know in past PJ wanted his OC to be QB coach as well

And that worked out with Sanford.

Hopefully, he realizes change can be good.

 

[FormerFatOL]

I hate when anyone gets fired...but this was inevitable. Parts of the offense were obviously broken at times and often left me saying "WTF?".

 

[salzie]

Him and Morgan didn't mix, makes sense if you're bringing Morgan back

I think our next OC will run same overall style and conservative nature, but passing offense needs to be fixed

 

[Word]

Absolutely not to number 2

Not a Simon fan?

 

[MplsGopher]

Wait, so MplsGopher was wrong about something?

Happy to be wrong about this!!! All day, every day baby

You can kiss both cheeks, muah muah!

 

[spermophilus]

Well, for the interim bowl game OC, no need for a wide search - LOTS of experts here on the Gopher Hole!!

 

[MplsGopher]

CLEARLY, this happened after the Illinois game.

Morgan 93 rating.


Then all of a sudden, nice jump up during Iowa and progressively better onward?? We all know what happened: Simon started calling the plays.

 

[salzie]

And that worked out with Sanford.

Hopefully, he realizes change can be good.

it has to do with how he balances coaches, recruiting duties, etc

I don't know what he'll do but there is reason for what he does.....

Does he give it to Simon and change up other duties? Possibly

I thought Sanford was a good hire, but I agree it didn't work
