MNVCGUY, my original point was that expectations for Fleck were higher than expectations for Kill because he inherited a vastly more talented team than Kill did. I watched the Brewster to Kill transition. The team that Kill took over had former running backs playing corner (poorly), a former receiver playing QB (surprisingly better than our current situation), and a complete dearth of talent on both sides of the football.
I don't think that it's controversial to say that 2017 Minnesota is way more talented than 2011 Minnesota. Frankly, I don't think that it's close.
2011 Minnesota would have struggled to compete in the MAC regardless of coaching. 2017 Minnesota had a legitimate shot to beat Maryland, Purdue, and Michigan State with below average coaching.
I think that you got hung up on the fact that I was insulting a friend of yours so I apologize for being a jerk about it, but they were really bad.
