He’s taken lots of grief on here, so here’s a reminder of accomplishments of some of his charges -

NOTABLE:
- The 2025 season will be his ninth year at Minnesota, eighth as offensive line coach (36th year overall in coaching).

- Aireontae Ersery was drafted in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, making him the third Gopher offensive lineman drafted in the last four years.

- John Michael Schmitz was drafted in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, making him the highest Gopher center to be picked since 1989.

- Daniel Faalele was drafted in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, making him the first Gopher OL to be picked since 2006
- Connor Olson set a Minnesota offensive lineman record with 58 games started, every contest of his career.

- In 2024, Ersery was named an All-American by the FWAA, Sporting News and FWAA. He was also named the Big Ten Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year and was All-Big Ten First Team.

- In 2022, Schmitz was named one of three finalists for the Rimington Award, was a First Team All-American and was PFF's top-ranked center.

- In 2021, all five of Minnesota's starting offensive lineman were recognized with All-Big Ten honors, including Faalele and Blaise Andries earning First Team distinction.

- In 2021, Minnesota's line enabled the Gophers to rush for 2,575 yards and 25 scores, a feat made even more impressive considering the Gophers used five different lead tailbacks due to injuries.

- In 2019, Minnesota's line blocked for an offense that set a school record for passing yards, ranked second in program history in points and first downs, and third in total yard and points per game

Really really appreciate the time you put into this. We had a bad offensive line game last week, but I still have confidence that a healthy DT can be a huge reason to a really good season
 










I agree with many of you, that perhaps Fleck should have gone for it. Good grief, its like somebody died here.
