Sounds like this could be a good thread to discuss the news conference as it happens....

 

[gophergrad]

you can also stream it from wcco.

 

[gophergrad]

just background noise on the 'cco feed, but it is fun to compare the btn guy whose clearly standing on something and what looks like marney gellner side by side.

 

[Monty519]

I didn't know there was such a thing as "Pittsburgh State", but Kill was offensive coordinator there haha.

 

[Dr.Don]

Maturi: "We talked with lots of people that we needed to meet our criteria". Tells me that any bull$hit in the background disqualified them.

Pitt State is a great D-II program: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburg_State_Gorillas_football

Interesting, good to know. I read it Pittsburgh, but it was actually Pittsburg, KS, which makes more sense lol.

 

[gophergrad]

wow that's an accent.

 

[Dr.Don]

If anyone mentions that Kill is a short, fat, bald man, who wears glasses (as one person on one thread stated), I will pull a Merle Haggard and sing: "Walking on the Fightin' Side of Me".

 

[CrocShots]

He actually does look like a gopher lolz. I

nteresting things said by maturi and he subtly let you know who wasn't considered and why to try and stop the bashing.

 

[Ski U Mah 55]

wow that's an accent.

Is it fake like Brewster's?

 

[Monty519]

This dude just fits in here. Hopefully he can win here too....

 

[Ski U Mah 55]

"I know what you're all trying to figure out... that's not my daughter, that's my wife."

 

[gophergrad]

damnit that's the second time his wife has been called out. anyone got a picture of her?

 

[Monty519]

Awesome, "This isn't the first time I haven't been the first choice", at least that's what I think he said lol

 

[Ski U Mah 55]

I think we have found the anti-Brewster.

 

[goldygo4]

He's definitely a small town guy. He seems like a good coach, but he seems like he should be coaching Iowa with that hillbilly mindset.

 

[year of the gopher]

Monty, that's indeed what he said. i like his self-effacing demeanor.

 

[Monty519]

Good to know he knows what he's walking into, talking about fan disappointment.

 

[Ski U Mah 55]

"Talk is cheap, you gotta show me"

 

[Dr.Don]

"Let's all go in the same direction, so we can make good things happen"

 

[gophergrad]

"This is not jerry kills football team it's the university of minnesota football team." ok, he's won me over.

 

[Tx_Gopher]

Awesome, "This isn't the first time I haven't been the first choice", at least that's what I think he said lol

that's what I heard

 

[CrocShots]

Me likey more and more. Not quite anti-Brew because he has his passion.

 

[97alumni]

Loving this guy - he gets it

 

[The Gopher Way]

at least he is not promising wins...

 

[CrocShots]

Joe schmidt first Q: about a big name hire

 

[Gopher07]

Joe Schmit goes right to the question.

 

[goldygo4]

that's what I heard

So who do u guys think turned the gophers down?
