But what about your post? Does this apply to that as well?
 


I swear you are Mona or Maturi

I hope this is finished tonight - I have a busy day at work tomorrow.
 



CJD, you keep pumping up my hopes and then a shi!storm develops that makes me think we'll be hiring a middle school coach.

Thankfully, the leak came to clear this up. I feel much better now. Now I'm focusing on how many ways we can tell Joe Schmidt he's washed-up and a font of misinformation.
 

I don't mean to repeat myself but word this morning from a donor who is a close family friend (best friend's father) is that the hire has been made and that this person has a strong record of graduating players. This donor has played a big role in Gophers football and TCF Bank Stadium so I trust his information quite a bit. If we take him at his word then there is no way Chryst is the hire. Again, I am not an insider and am only conveying the information I got via texting with my buddy today after he had talked to his father. If I'm wrong and misleading everyone, my apologies.

This stuff is crazy though

Reading back though his 49 posts i wouldnt put that theory away too quickly. if he's not one of them he's someone very close, unless he's put up such an elaborate troll, which i doubt due to the wordings of his past posts


Crazy Joe, perhaps you could give us a cryptic yet helpful clue as to eliminating Petersen as the guy?
 

Silence! The great and powerful Oz...uhhh, CJD has spoken. Now, go get me Maturi's broomstick and I will grant your wish for courage, a heart, a brain and a coach. Hurry!...before my balloon takes off for Boise.

That could still mean Kill who graduated 72% of his players.

Not before, but it should be a strong part of the equation for sure. I don't think with the field of possibles out there the university has to settle for one or the other.
 


Graduation rates at other schools are irrelevant unless we're talking Harbaugh or other schools of similar ilk.

Do you really think as AD you want to announce that your new hire's best quality is graduation rates?

If it were up to me graduation rates beyond NCAA min are a bonus tacked on to whatever on field success there may be. graduation is primarily a player motivation thing, and while a coach cannot sap all of a player's time, he can also not be dedicated 100% of the time to being the player's dads and getting them to go to class on time.

It's up to the coach to foster an environment of accountability. That should extend to the classroom and the field.

All these kids get for their labor is that education. It's not too much to expect that they actually get to take advantage of it. Especially when we're told over and over that these coaches are molders of young men.
 


I thought you might be interested in reading this web page:

This is the thread where someone posted the graduation rates for various head coaching candidates who have been batted around on the GH. Edsall is at or above 80% if I recall. Kill is high. Obviously, Stanford is really high. Anyway, might be worth reading through if you're interested in the graduation rates as a possible indicator of who has been hired. And, again, my donor source could have been misled but he's close with both Maturi and Bruininks so at this point I'm still thinking he probably knows.

that list left off leach who said they were at 79.

here's hoping.
 

We are Minnesota because we believe we can have high graduation rates and great football teams. I would like a comparison of Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Iowa's graduation rates? I would assume they are relatively high. I am not saying hire a coach just because of graduation rate. I am saying that it factors in to the search at every school, even in the South.

As is usually the case I agree with Khaliq and am happy to read his points.
 



Crazy Joe, if you really want us to think you know something, and you don't want us to think you lack credibility in the future, now would be the time to prove it with something real.
