Souhan Column: With amateurs at the helm, Gophers athletics in disarray

[BleedGopher]

per Souhan:

Minnesota’s athletic department is in disrepair, especially in positions of power, where key decisions are made and examples are set.

Kaler, Goetz, Claeys and Pitino will have to prove they can operate in the world of major-conference sports. Stollings has failed to capitalize on Banham’s greatness. Lucia is not what he once was, and neither is his program.

Claeys will have the opportunity to prove he can coach at this level, and Pitino likely will be given a chance to coach a promising recruiting class. There is always hope in college sports.

At the moment, though, the University of Minnesota appears to have no idea how to compete in major college athletics.

See what I did there?

I didn't bother to read the article, it's by Soupcan, it's not worth the effort.

When the media smells blood in the water, they all start piling on.

I'm not sure what Goetz was supposed to do differently with the Dorsey sex video situation. The matter became public and the players were suspended. And, even though Pitino took the lead role in dealing with the media, you can bet that Goetz and Kaler were in the loop when the decision was made to suspend the players for the rest of the season.

Tell us something we don't know.

The article was probably written some time ago waiting for a day when soupcan couldn't find anything else to denigrate or pile on. Ripping on the Gopherhole athletic program is his go to shtick.

Now wouldn't THAT be something. How dysfunctional would an organization full of know-it-alls be (present company included, of course)? Would we drop out of FBS for the flag league due to concussions? Hire the first transvestite for AD? Build solid gold facilities and worry about how to pay for it later?

With amateurs at the keyboard, local sports writing scene continues 25 year drought.

Black out the names in the paragraph Bleed posted and how many times in the past 15 years could that paragraph have been written? I am personally happy that someone would write about how inept the "U" is even if it doesn't cover any new ground.

Hear! Hear! You can also extend it to academics, the psychology department, in specific.
