Minnesota’s Corey Hetherman new defensive coordinator at Miami

[DanvilleGopher]

The best three member band out of the Great White North...

I think Rush has them beat.... but I DO like these guys too!

This one hurts and then we replace him with a guy who's been with him forever but not in any critical role.

Perhaps replaying the 2nd half of the Iowa game from this season would ease your pain.

I didn't want him to bail either, just trying to help a brotha out.

Yeah, that 2nd half was as bad as it got this year AND the O was a bigger problem in that game IMHO. He was 3 games in as well in his first gig as a DC, with 3 NC games to learn from, which didn't help. Looks like he adjusted (Players did too, which is another compliment to him) and got better as a coach.

Anyway, I wanted him to stay and provide continuity and it seemed like he was a pretty good pick by Fleck, which seems rare with his Gopher coaching choices.

Triumph used to do a lot of concerts in the cities in the late 70’s and early 80’s and did some outdoor concerts too. They were a great live band.

Didn’t quite give him the raise he needed.

Totally true - and I really think the locale had to be a factor too. Hard to turn down Miami.

I'd feel better if I knew that the $600,000 buyout money they're getting was going right into the football assistant coaches salary pool, but knowing the U that's probably going to a new megaphone and some boat wax for the rowing team.

Well both times KC left and when Rossi left, any left over money in the salary pool went into additional analyst and Quality of control type roles. So I'm sure they'll bump some current staff members up first and do the same thing.

With some of the talk of haves and have nots in this thread, etc., it’s worth noting that Penn State just had their DC leave for an ACC job as well.

When are schools going to start holding coaches to their signed contracts? Or does the buyout negate the contractual agreement?

The school is holding him to the contract. The buyout is one of the main parts of the agreement. Football coaches are usually fired before their contracts are up to.
