per Joe:

“The search committee did a great job, and the fan base is excited,” Johnson said. “I was at a function last night; the donors are just a-buzzin’. I think there’s a lot of money on the sidelines that’s going to start to come into the university. … Things are looking brighter at Minnesota.”

Coyle, 47, is a Waterloo, Iowa, native who worked for the Gophers from 2001 to 2005, primarily in marketing. He has since built a résumé as a deputy AD at Kentucky, and as an AD at both Boise State and Syracuse.

“It brings back a lot of positive memories for me,” Coyle said of his first moments at Bierman. “I feel like Minnesota is where I really realized that I wanted to be a director of athletics.”
