Good job and congratulations, Mr. Hetherman. You did a great job this year.

I hope every game for the rest of your career is a humiliating blowout.

Yeah, at this point it's almost like, "wake me up if we make the playoffs" and then I'll start paying attention.

There's now just too many rugs to get pulled out from under you that make it hard to be a fan day in and day out.

His salary couldn’t buy him one of the nicest in any area. The difference in home prices between Miami and Minneapolis largely is due to the extreme wealth. If you take the nicest and most expensive homes on Lake Minnetonka, they compare to the nicest homes in Miami. There are just about 15 times more of them.

All of that said, I’m sure he is going to rent a luxury apartment for $3500 that he could have gotten for $3000 in Minnesota. Slightly more expensive but not enough to offset the tax breaks.

Exactly why are we acting like he will come out behind financially despite a $200k raise. He could easily live just off the raise and bank what he was making here if he wanted to.

I hear this all the time about various college programs. This player is getting 8 million in the portal. This program has $50 million in NIL. I mean. Come on. Really? Nobody knows if any of this is true. There's no NIL reporting system. So, how would you make a statement like this. All we hear is stuff from people like Doogie and Shooter and their ilk at other programs.

While you are correct that specific NIL dollars are opaque, the reality around Miami's program specifically is that they have landed big fish on the open market. Cam Ward was the best transfer QB available last year and Miami landed him in the portal because they had the finances to do it. Carson Beck isn't the same pro prospect as Ward, but he is one of if not the best transfer QB available this year. Miami landed him because they had the money to do it.

We don't know exactly how much money Miami has for NIL, but the evidence suggests they have enough to compete for the best players available in the portal. Hetherman is pretty clearly ambitious. It isn't difficult to see how he could be sold on getting paid more and a vision of Miami providing the resources to consistently compete for the ACC title and the automatic playoff berth that comes with it.

It would have been better if he'd stayed. But there are always going to be schools with bigger budgets and NIL collectives than the real "U".

I think that's a great question and to be determined. I think that the fans of the "haves" will continue to support their teams as everyone loves to support a winner but think it's going to get more and more difficult for the "have nots" as fans begin to see and feel little hope for success.

Are we the haves (in the B1G) or have nots (not Miami or Oregon, etc.)? A large number of fans nationally probably wish they had the Gophers' money problems.
 



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


Has anyone actually heard how much Miami is paying him? Maybe I missed it. Guessing it's in the $1.8 range but just a guess.

How much effort do you think a coach is going to put in for a team he doesn't want to coach anymore, and especially for a team that is preventing him from going to the job he wants?

If your wife is in love with another man...sure you can try and prevent the divorce, but that doesn't mean she's going to continue sleeping with you and sharing her life with you. You just gotta let them go.
 

Wow. All that for a guy that was DC for one year on a team that historically has had a strong defense and a possession offense that makes it easier on the defense. Cristobal must be desperate to show the boosters that he's working on his weakness, the defense.

Just saw Tom Allen is leaving as DC of Penn State to take same position with Clemson. Just saying this for context as some schools are willing pay more or coaches want to leave for their own reasons. Happens even in Happy Valley.
 

On a side note, when Miami sucks next year without a Heisman candidate at QB, will Cristobal's job be on the line? The Hurricanes turn coaches like merri-go-round.

Just a little more than a 200k raise. Good for Hetherman. It’s Danny Collins time.

Franklin seems to cycle out coordinators faster than most. Allen seems to be the type that would mesh well with Dabo.
 


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.
 

One thing about Hetherman. He was a good DC, but I never heard anything about him as a recuiting helper. So not sure if he was good at that. I do hear a lot of people praise Collins as a good recuiter. Also that Rutgers game I blame Hetherman.

My concern as well, along with the U wanting to paying every athlete the same, whether they play in a massive revenue generating sport or not.
 

a story in The Athletic claims that Carson Beck is getting $3-million from Miami - not the $4-million that has been reported. that's still a lot of scratch.

for me, what makes the difference is that a school like MN has raised a lot of its NIL from relatively small donations. you need a lot of people donating $100 or $200 to come up with the NIL for one player. the SEC schools and Texas schools have donors who cough up millions of dollars at a time. it's like going from the 25-cent slot machines to a no-limit poker game.

and on the subject of Canadian rockers ---- Neil Young.

I never would have guessed that orange juice is cheaper in Minneapolis than Miami. Same for peaches given they are mostly from nearby Georgia.

That’s weird, but not surprising. When I lived in Alaska, salmon and crab were much cheaper to buy in Seattle than Anchorage.

For rockers, sure Neil Young all day. If it's songwriters kind of a toss up with Joni Mitchell.

Some guy said:
If he wanted to come back would you take him?
I wouldn’t. He quit on the team midway through his last year here

Fleck did take the OC back, and look at what loyalty was returned to him 2 years later. So I wouldn't take him back, but I think Fleck would. This to me is another gut punch. I thought at the end of the year we might have something finally with the coordinators as I really never did think Rossi was that great. His numbers were inflated BIG time by the fact the gophers, with their run first mentality, kept the opposing team from running allot of plays.

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