per Pat:
I have no interest in boat-rowing or forget about me, I love you. Just tell me if the hay’s in the barn.
Yet Fleck, a wind storm of grand thoughts with no commas, has caused such a stir among Minnesotans that I decided to try to understand the rhetoric. The only coach I knew with a chance to explain was Glenn Caruso, 33 when hired and now looking toward his 10th season at St. Thomas.
Caruso’s success has come in building a national contender in Division III. You can diminish that if you choose, but in Caruso’s nine seasons at St. Thomas, there have been five schools to play in the championship Stagg Bowl and the Tommies have been there twice.
He has put the Tommies in an exclusive club, and has done so with a philosophy that sounds similar (although with fewer trivialities) to Fleck’s.
Family. Service. Culture. What’s that all about, coach?
Asked for his early impression of Hurricane Fleck, Caruso said:
“His energy is great, that’s obvious. Time will tell you everything. This is Minnesota, a land where farmers put a seed in the ground in the spring and wait six months to see how it grows.
“People want to reach instant conclusions on the new coach. I’d say, ‘Relax, guys, see how it grows.’”
