This is a fireable offense

Why do you have a right to expect 9 or 10 win seasons, in the new Big Ten, going forward like that can be a regular thing for a program like Minnesota?

I would love to hear the reasoning for that. There is no right or wrong answer, I just want to know the reasoning.


By the way, I see SDSU got dominated last night by NDSU, in a similar manner.
Do you live in Minneapolis or something? Are unreasonable expectations thoughtcrime where you live?

This isn't an SDSU message board but if it were I'd tell you that despite losing the entire coaching staff and bringing in 67 new players, SDSU's performance Saturday night in a rivalry game was embarrassing and completely unacceptable. 8 games in is too early to talk coaching changes but I do wonder if he O coordinator isn't too comfortable and maybe riding out until retirement. It's also fair to question if the Oline coach and run game coordinator are right for the job when the Oline was the returning strength of the program.

SDSU is instructive, though. Middling at the DII level (1 total playoff appearance), struggling during transition to FCS, SDSU it's arguably a top 2 FCS program, current difficulties notwithstanding. But it is also investing in FB in a big way to achieve those results.
 

This would be the worst season in probably history for any mid level P4 team to fire a coach now….. way too many jobs a available
 

17.5 pts - Ciarrocca in 4 seasons
14.5 pts - Sanford in 2 seasons
9.0 pts - Harbaugh in 3 seasons

These are the average number of points scored by MN against Iowa by OC. It's bad and getting worse.

Edit add: I'm not going to go back and rescore, but if you count some defensive TDs by Iowa as negative points to the MN offense, these are probably noticeably worse.
 

Offense Percentile (Yards) Avg. Rank in the BG10
45th percentile - Ciarrocca
50th Percentile - Sanford
18th Percentile - Harbaugh

If Fleck stays, then the Gophers need new leadership on offense. Just sayin.
