I'm still driving the boat.
The loss to Maryland snapped me back into reality for my hopes in 2017 but I have all the confidence in the world in this staff and program moving forward.
Just bought a crap load of stuff a Goldy's Locker.
Same here. I think this year’s team depth was exposed and that stinks, but long term I feel good about the direction of the program.
I'm sick of hearing about rowing and boats and stupid puns to tie everything in. Play football.
Keep telling yourself that. Not sure how the Gophers beat Maryland last year with that recruiting from the previous 3 or 4 years.As I stated this past weekend, this game wasn't loss because of coaching, this game -as well as - other games yet this season, is because of recruiting the past 3/4 years. When you don't have more than 3/4 defensive tackles the onus is on recruiting not coaching. Same with cornerbacks and offensive line. No excuses in 3 years.
I'm on the "it kinda seems like Fleck is intentionally rowing the wrong direction" part of the boat.
The play calling and personnel decisions make it seem like he is trying to lose.

Who are you? Ever been around sports before?

On what planet and universe would a coach of any program try and or orchestrate losing? Intentionally rowing the wrong direction does not happen.
I'm still in the boat, and I think the majority of us are all still rowing. Until the Admiral or "Windy" as Reusse calls him, convinces us all that he cannot coach. (I don't think this will happen)
If things become rat's flying off the ship from the coaching staff point of view like they were with Brewster than there are warning signs. I don't think Fleck is sandbagging anyone, pretty apparent we do not have depth, or elite talent on the defensive or offensive line's at the moment(lack of upperclassmen) or in the defensive back field san's injury's and suspensions or expulsions. There is no prepared depth in the trenches.
Have you ever watched a college football game before? The coaching in that game was abysmal.
I'm not saying that he's an awful coach, I'm as hopeful as anyone else, but the number of people here making excuses for that game is too damn high.
No, you're not as hopeful as anyone else. You're a chronic bitcher who thinks he's a damn football savant but really doesn't have any clue about what it takes to build a program. But you're "hopeful." Yet another clown who wants it both ways.
We have plenty of depth, Fleck just sucks at using it.
We are stacked in the front seven and generating no pressure, we have three fantastic running backs and Fleck screwed the pooch by running read options plays that wouldn't fool a kindergartner, we have elite safety talent, and Fleck kicked one of them off the field for who knows what stupid reason. If this is him trying to win then we're in real trouble.
And let me be clear, one game does not make a pattern, there have been two games so far that I have watched and been exasperated by our coaching decisions. I think the Buffalo game was just my adjustment period to prevent defense and a read-option offense.
This last game, however, was an embarrassment to the Minnesota football program. Poor play calling, poor protection, poor game plan, and poor individual performances.
