gopherhole has weird formatting on polls so you can't read the line above the poll that states 8 regular season wins. I have no idea why they have never fixed that.
Assuming Fleck is not fired, I would bet a very large sum of money that he will win 8+ again at some point in the future. If Vegas would give me that bet, I'd take it in a heartbeat.You gonna bet $1k on that?
Then I’ll be impressed
I might be in the minority here, but I thought Kill was a very good coach and had a great staff to support him. He definitely left PJ something to build on.
Why not? What is the obstacle?
Your right, you are in a minority.
I’m not counting bowl games.
Excluding bowl games?
For sure.
Too many top in state OL played elsewhere over the years. We don't produce many top QB's, DB's, RB's, etc but we do have a fair amount of instate OL talent. We need to keep them at home. We won't get them all, but we can do better.
Like who? Outside of Alt, who is already in the NFL anyways, I can’t think of a bunch of top instate linemen that went elsewhere that would be huge upgrades. Fleck has locked up most of them.
First off we do compete at a Big10 level. He’s put players in the NFL as well at a good clip. Secondly, you could bring in Nick Saban and still be unlikely to recruit on the level of the blue bloods of the big10. Remember how Fleck recruited really well in the MAC by their standards? Kind of shows what he can do when his program is on a more level playing field.
I don't think that 28-21 is a reflection of in game coaching as much as it is development of players and team. I think development of men is his focus and he's good at it.
I just don't see it that way, sure, I'd like to believe Oregon will be a dominate team in the B1G conference. I do think Mich is sort of stepping into some muddy waters and just may slide into a hole. I think the conference is going to change, more agressive on offense and maintain the great defenses. I think a lot of teams can make a run for it. Look at Indiana this year. Also, Ohio St has problems if they don't win a NC this year. There fan base expect a NC and if they lose they will start blaming someone... Kelly, Day the defensive guy. All I'm saying is it's going to be very very hard to stay on top.
Oregon will be just fine and will benefit nicely from joining the Big 10. Michigan is having a down year but will bounce back because they're Michigan. Ohio St fans can whine all they want it doesn't change the fact they are and have been the best team in the Big 10 forever. Indiana is a fluke and every so often that sort of thing happens.
I was there. Stoll could coach.
Agree that Stoll doesn’t get proper credit. And while 1977 was a very fun season to be sure, one correction - we lost to Iowa that year.
