Souhan column: Kill gets benefit of Maturi doubt

Not Funny

Souhan Quote: "Kill, the new Gophers football coach, brought his version of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour to TCF Bank Stadium on Monday, even introducing his lovely wife to prove he's America's biggest matrimonial overachiever since Lyle Lovett married Julia Roberts."

I wonder how long it took for Souhan or one of his office maroons to come up with the words for this paragraph? The new Gopher Football head coach is introduced at a press conference and is nice enough to introduce his wife to the media, and you punish him (Kill) in print for having an attractive wife? Man, this is real Twin Cities sports journalism at it's finest!

Somebody at the StarTrib reminded Souhan he was supposed to "write" to earn his paycheck today and thus he came up with more of his usual depressive drivel. I think more than anything he hurts the StarTrib Sports Section rather than enhances it. He should at least stick to covering major league baseball since it's obvious he knows nothing about college sports. Either that or he finally gives up surfing the triple X (porn) websites and stays out of the mens' bathroom during the workday.
 

How can Souhan write this statement:

"I would have preferred Marc Trestman, who has won two consecutive Grey Cups and knows the college landscape."
And exactly what does Marc Trestman know about the college landscape today? He must mean he has an atlas.

This man is a hack.

Prospective coaches read newspapers and the tandem of Reusse and Souhan probably did as much harm as anyone in deterring a "big name coach"
 

I'm guessing this is another negative Gophers article from Souhan. Someone needs to tell this guy to chill out, Geeezzzzz.
 

I wouldn't shed a tear if Souhan broke his hands and couldn't write anymore (of course he'll just end up getting some other hack to do the typing/writing for him).

I can't stand that guy. Too bad the Strib doesn't have the cojones to can that dude's ass.

You would be correct with that guess. As for Souhan chilling out, it'll never happen; he thinks very highly of himself and his opinions.
 


To compare the press conference to a comedy show is absurd. He may not realize this but it's quite common for people speaking in public to throw in a joke or two to break the ice. He gives the impression that it was one joke after another, which it wasn't.
 

Souhan + Reusse Need to Resign or be Fired

Reusse and Souhan only on last Thursday came out vocally for Leach or Trestman. Why so late? So they could undermine the hiring of a new coach who they knew wasn't going to be either of those. Now they can criticize the hire --- he wasn't the 1st or 2nd choice, attempting to belittle the qualifications of the new coach. They are so darn arrogant and think fans are stupid --- will believe their ill informed accusations.
Both are negative on the Gophers and always have been. They are trying to kiss up to the boosters that were trying to push through Marc Trestman now after the fact and create a groundswell of negativity, which is perpetual for their own popularity. Barrero does the same.
