I'm heartened by the idea that any article writer would say there's pressure on Johnson. That means that it's still realistic to have expectations here, which means there's still a heartbeat, although faint.
Big Ten Reclaims Revenue Lead After Earning $880M in FY23
Former commissioner Jim Delany, who retired in June 2020, was once again the league's highest-paid employee.www.sportico.com
I mean fairly easy answer. Too many people give CBJ/Coyle/bball program a pass. Sure we aren't Duke, KU, OSU etc in terms of NIL or cache, that's fine I'm not asking for titles every year. But to say woe is us no one will ever want to coach here, we will always be terrible is an awful take. Our athletic program has the money to hire a better coach, and to me better coach = more interest = more NIL = more success and the cycle repeats.
Sure it's not entirely CBJs fault the roster is new, but in 3 years he hasn't exactly don't much to help it, so yes NCAAs or bust for me, don't care what the record is.
Clem was here for 13 years and went to the NCAAs in 6 of them. That's realistic. There's little reason Minnesota can't be successful and relevant to at least that level.
Charlie H is on line one.
Yeah but could Clem have made it without players like Burton, Newbern, Bobby Jackson, Jacobson, etc.?
I'm not really sure what you're talking about.
But that hasn’t been realistic for the Gophers since the late 90s. They did turn the football program around, so there is hope.
Tubby made the tournament in 3 of 6 years. If we fire a coach for poor performance, it doesn't seem like that level of performance should be considered so high as to be unattainable and unrealistic.
What a strange question
Clem would have never retained his best players under the current system. Obviously.
Your hypothesis is vague and unsupported.
I am certain the poster read a recent story regarding ww1 due to the Russo Ukraine crap.
