You stopped watching Hockey or Football because Coyle hired a basketball coach you didn't like? Makes sense, totally fair and reasonable response.

Football - Meh. I will admit to watching some hockey more because the neighbor kid plays on the team.

You do realize we are one of the few major college towns that also has all four major professional sports teams in our metro area right. It makes a big difference where corporations spend their excess dollars verses a place like say , oh I don’t know, Ann Arbor where the only game in town is Michigan or Lincoln, Nebraska.

While it’s true the Twin Cities has plenty of pro sports teams, it’s also true the metro area has a fairly wealthy population of over 3.6 million and there should be plenty of NIL dollars available.

Are these your words or theirs's? I'm not going to listen because they have always just trashed things and talk about sports like there isn't another team on the other side of the field, court, rink competing for the same things.

Niko might have been the one getting fired had he been hired four years ago. We will never know. I have no problem with Coyle and the way he goes about the programs. He's deliberate and doesn't cut corners. Some schools might be in for a rude awakening if they have been reigning things in for the last few years.

A new era is starting and there is no reason to look back.

My words.

I am shocked at how much of a pass Coyle gets here in the basketball forum - bizarre really. The program was destroyed under his reign.

Another quick anecdote - casually mentioned the "Ben Johnson" firing last week to a couple we barely know - the guy refs NCAA games. Response - "Problem is Coyle".

I mention Coyle here - everyone defends him. Go figure...

Coyle was a problem until he fired Ben Johnson and hired a coach that 99% are on board with. He'll be a problem again if Niko has major success and is stolen away somehow, or Niko is terrible and he let's him overstay his welcome. Hopefully neither and we're rejoicing over good basketball for years to come, finally.
 






I will never get that 20 minutes back....horrendous pod cast.

I'd have rather listened to a pod cast on dog turds

Not everyone defends Coyle, including me. And Coyle wasn't the first athletic director that failed in hiring coaches. The Pitino hire was terrible too.
 



Did Coyle setup the Dinkytown fundraising arm for Minnesota sports or did donors form it on their own?

it's a viking show

Makey knows Wolves
Judd knows Wild
Declan, I'm not sure what he knows

But I don't hate the show, just don't expect any decent gopher content. they occasionally jump on the wagon, but they quickly jump off

Take it easy on Declan. His late-father was one of my best friends. As others have said, Declan is a baseball guy. Worked for the Saints for a few seasons and he's very dedicated to the craft.

don't recall saying anything bad, just not sure sport that is his speciality.

I watch skor north semi regularly, i overall like it
 

SKOR North.....something that I've never heard of.....employs Judd and Mackey.....and they're talking about poor management and bad strategies. This is irony.

Just joshing with you. I've known Declan all his life. Loved baseball from a very early age.
