per Sid:
Tracy Claeys doesn’t have an agent, doesn’t plan to hire one, will do his own negotiating and would coach the Gophers football team for a reasonable salary.
All he wants is a chance to succeed Jerry Kill, and the longtime defensive coordinator deserves the opportunity to prove he can continue what Kill started and sustain a winning football program at the University of Minnesota.
You have to give Claeys some credit for the Gophers coming within a half-yard of scoring one of the biggest upsets in Gophers history against a Michigan team that ranks with the best in the country. I’m confident he will get the opportunity.
Another plus in hiring Claeys would be that some of the Gophers staff has been together under Kill for almost 15 years and most likely would stay on board. That continuity is crucial to successful football programs.
There is no doubt the players would vote 100 percent to retain Claeys. And since Kill’s retirement last week, only one recruit has publicly announced a choice to decommit, with several other players reaffirming their pledge to become Gophers.
