This is the only way to resurrect the program in the long run.

What...from his long and storied history of recruiting, coaching college, and building an NCAA program?

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.

I know it sounds out a "little" proposterous. However, think about the recruits Dungy could actually pull off. If you were a recruit and a man of his magnitude came to your door, how could you pass up the opportunity to learn and develop from such a high character person.

I'm not saying he wouldn't probably be a great coach. I think he would. It's just that he hasn't shown the slightest hint of an inclination that he might maybe someday consider thinking about possibly coaching again. Let alone in college football. Let alone for the Gophers.
 


I just figured you'd leave by now, and I wouldn't have to think about you again.
 



You must be one of the last few stragglers that haven't gotten the memo - he's not interested, he's stated that, and it ain't gonna happen.

Would it be nice? Yeah, he'd no doubt be a great fit. Would he be a terrific college coach? Who knows, but it seems likely. Is coaching of any kind in his future? Seems pretty doubtful given his past statements.

Can we please let this sleeping dog lie? PLEASE?

Oh please - we have more that just hope. We have a talented roster of football players who can win some games now if they perform well and some breaks go our way. We have a veteran QB who is looking to have a bounceback season and is motivated to win. We have a head coach who is itching to get our team on the field to compete.

You can latch on to hope all you want, and wish for Tony Dungy to part the Mississippi and lead us to the Promised Land. Its not realistic or constructive.

Get behind the team we have now, and you can worry about the head coaching situation if Brewster is let go.

win some games...great, that sounds great. See that's the problem around here, everyone is complacent about just winning "some games". Whatever happened to actually going out and competing for national championships?
 

Dungy is never going to coach again, so the point is beyond moot. So far beyond moot it had left moot in the ditch and entered the "pukable suggestion" stage.

Granted, Dungy would bring a lot of hype to the program. But is more hype really what Gopher football needs?

If things don't work out with Tim Brewster (and any new coach needs to be given about 5 years minimum for anyone to be able to make that call in a fair manner) there are plenty of proven winners that would consider taking this job. And all of them could probably be every bit as good as Dungy, but actually want to be coaching. To name just a few:

Kevin Sumlin
Ken Niumatalolo
Mike Leach
Jim Leavitt

And I think it could even be possible for the U to have its pick among coaches in the lower-half of the Big XII within a couple years, if needed. The Big Ten, SEC, and Pac 12 are going to be where a lot of coaches will want to be in a couple years.

Dungy would not just bring hype, be honest
 

I'd love to see him as the AD once the new president is in place.

I think that most of us here feel that a Big Ten Championship and a Rose Bowl appearance are the major goals down the line, but we're tempered by realism too. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a successful college football program in the modern era. Does Brew have us on the right track? I'm not sure, but I'm willing to back him for at least another season, especially when he's got many of his own guys on the field.

If Dungy came in tomorrow, what's your timetable for him taking the team to a National Championship? Whoops - Did reality just start to set in?

The timetable under Dungy vs. brew would be waaaaaaaaaaaay shorter though.

Honestly, this would seem even less likely than him being the coach. A position like AD where all sorts of big donor and other bigwigs need to be dealt with is probably not in line with Dungy's interest in helping young men directly.

STOP!
JUST STOP.

It ain't gonna happen. He hasn't even come to visit the new stadium.
He trashed Maturi on Sunday Night football for not hiring his suggestion Mike Tomlin(like that was going to happen)

I'd give him a shot at running the next coaching selection, but good lord let it go until he even throws a bone at us, which hasn't happened.

STOP!
 

Sig, meet c'monman.

Lets do what most of us are really good at and turn this topic into something completely different from what the original poster's intent was. Because this guy's a fishin.'

I would prefer zombie Bear Bryant. Losing to tOSU? Zombie Bear Bryant eats Tressel's brains. Instant win. Zombie Tresselvest? Epic.
 

I challenge someone to photoshop a zombie Tressel. We could start a friggin meme. Koolaid, for some reason this screams "up your alley" to me.
 

Maybe we can get 'Zombie Paterno' in a few years (or perhaps immediately if PSU were to cut him loose)?

Hmm, that was a little tasteless. Oh well.

WHat has Jim Leavitt ever won? He has never finished higher than a 3rd place tie
Mike Leach has never finished better than a 3-way tie in his division (He was the 3rd best team in the 3 way tie).

Neither of these guys are going to be picked up by an athletics dept with any self respect. They have won far too little to be taken with their baggage.
