Proof that he cheats? Signing a bunch of 4 star in state recruits doesn't exactly scream cheating to me.
Seriously. He has no ties to the program. Kind of pisses me off. Go off to Duke but tell the Gophers who to hire are a coach. GTFO
The entire time any info WriterGoph has passed on they have made it known it was through his/her connections. some old college buddy who knew a guy etc.
Any chance being a Utah State fan colored your view?
People have been saying the same stuff about PJ Fleck since he got here... Sometimes those intense, driven types of coaches rub people the wrong way.
It’s Fife o’clock somewhere!
I just don't think that's gonna happen. I can't let my mind go there anymore haha. Musselman clearly a fantastic coach.
Fair enough and you are probably right. I have reason to believe Muss would come but I am not sure if the U has it in them to do it.
A school gets $280,000 per round appearance for several years afterwards. So $1.4 million a year for a final four appearance per year for say 6 years would definitely create some raise incentives.
Geno Crandell did play at De under Thorson, right?
People have been saying this regarding Musselman and the idea that he'd come to Minnesota... and that's OK. This is a place to discuss such silliness. We're all just waiting for an announcement.
The majority of those were promoted from within the program. If Pitino just left for Louisville after leading us to 3 Sweet 16's and Ben Johnson was on the staff the whole time, I think we'd all be down with promoting him. That's not the case here.
That's pretty much what it is. He won't come here for more $ (though we'd have to match Arkansas) or because it's "better." If he comes he will have his own reasons.People have been saying this regarding Musselman and the idea that he'd come to Minnesota... and that's OK. This is a place to discuss such silliness. We're all just waiting for an announcement.
What nobody has brought up, however... Is whether or not Musselman is a big enough egomaniac to think that he can finish what his father was unable to accomplish? He certainly does show signs of those characteristics.
Norwood Teague's poor judgment is multi-layered and continues to have domino effects years later.
I'll give ya that... but if we're gonna sit down and make lists, who wants to look up how many have failed? That's gonna take some doing. You're absolutely right, though... provided that Coyle makes the right choice. Does anyone really, really want him to gamble on that? I, for one, want someone who's got experience... I don't want to roll the dice on some first time coach.
Shinebox shoutout! I love that part....
Good point.
I'd like to hear specifics. What I've heard of his tactics have been what I'd call unconventional but not illegal or sketchy.
It's been said, often enough, that PJ Fleck uses some 'interesting recruiting tactics' but I doubt Coyle is getting ready to axe him...
