He's safe this year. If he goes 4-8 and then misses a bowl again next year maybe he's in trouble. They aren't paying his buyout this year under any circumstances.Interest in this team is going to plummet. PJ is lucky Coyle is spineless
I think we saw our only two wins against Rhode Island and Nevada.
I am going to next weeks game in Michigan and I cringe to think we may not score a point.
It's also painful to see Kaliakmanis do well today for Rutgers.
I don't even want to think about next year. Another new qb, Jackson is gone, Ersery is gone, the o-line will be worseWe are 2-2 and already blow out loss vs. Iowa. At what point do we start to think about next year and get some QB in-game experience? The Brosmer gamble didn't pay off - very clear at this point.
Hey, they introduced the Olé defense in the second half. That was something new this year!Would prefer to come up with something else, instead of cookie-cutter rinse and repeat. Never changing anything and being same ole PJ.
we are more brutalUCLA is brutal.
My take had always been that he's the motivational speaker that corporate brings in type. Or a life coach. In either case, never succeeded himself but slings bullshit.He's a used car salesman, great at talking but terrible at actual performance
Oh I agree he’s safe unless there’s a scandal, which is just sad for the state of our programHe's safe this year. If he goes 4-8 and then misses a bowl again next year maybe he's in trouble. They aren't paying his buyout this year under any circumstances.
Nothing to do with the result. Gophers were thoroughly outplayedThat penalty sums up the quality of the officiating today
It doesn't have to be "at any cost".That's what I'm saying. I want someone who will win at all and any cost at this point. I don't care what it takes, what it costs, or anything else.
we are more brutal
He actually fired Fleck two years ago after the Purdue fiasco, but communicated it so poorly it was announced as an extension and raise.If Mark Coyle ever figures out he's in charge of big money sports at the U, some people might be held semi accountable.
There's a non-zero chance he bails for Vanderbilt or UVa something but that's the only way he's not back next year.Oh I agree he’s safe unless there’s a scandal, which is just sad for the state of our program
totally agreeMy take had always been that he's the motivational speaker that corporate brings in type. Or a life coach. In either case, never succeeded himself but slings bullshit.
It would be funny if it didn't come close to describing what he did to Lindsey Whalen.He actually fired Fleck two years ago after the Purdue fiasco, but communicated it so poorly it was announced as an extension and raise.
How many years is he "safe"?Oh I agree he’s safe unless there’s a scandal, which is just sad for the state of our program
At least 2How many years is he "safe"?
With what's coming back next year, he should certainly look.There's a non-zero chance he bails for Vanderbilt or UVa something but that's the only way he's not back next year.
At least 2
Agree!At least 2
Why? Contract?At least 2
Well, that hasn't happened. I've said for some time, I don't care if they recruit prisoners with bags of cash, hookers and blow if it means winning a conference title or natty in my lifetime. This is big time, big money entertainment. I don't care about playing clean. I don't care about ethics. I don't care about GPA. Win. That's what matters. Win.It doesn't have to be "at any cost".
UMN should be able to hire a coach who recruits at a Big 10 level and doesn't make boneheaded calls on the field. Fleck is NOT that person.
Correct. We won’t stomach a buyout of his size because we’re MN. At Florida or A&M he was fired last seasonWhy? Contract?
And this we shift from "5.5 wins is bull shit" to oh, no, looking at the schedule I see at least 2 wins for a total of 4.At least 2
Plus will likely already have another buyout to pay this year.Correct. We won’t stomach a buyout of his size because we’re MN. At Florida or A&M he was fired last season
