We're not talking about Ohio St. or Alabama, we're talking about Minnesota. The idea that a coordinator for OSU (most any coordinator, really, let alone one for 12 years) doesn't have the "resume" to be the head coach at Minnesota is so laughably stupid that I can't believe people are taking up multiple posts trying to defend the position.
As I've already stated, at the time he didn't want to leave Ohio (this is well-known and not debatable), and he wasn't going to get OSU, so he went to Cincinnati when Tuberville left. He absolutely could've had a number of Power 5 jobs if he wanted, but again, he wasn't going to leave Ohio.
i mean you stating something doesn’t make it true lol
Perfect, thank you for admitting I'm right.
I never said otherwise, nor did I ever even bring up P.J.
Saying that he can't get the OSU job has nothing to do with his ability to get hired at 95% of the jobs in the country. Not being deemed worthy of one of the top 5 jobs in the country doesn't mean you can't get hired at the overwhelming majority.
No, the fact that it's true is what makes it true.
Ah, moving the goal posts I see. Yeah, most ADs don't like a guy who's been one of the most successful coordinators at a blue blood program for more than a decade. Great call.
Okay big shooter
Unfortunately for those other jobs, they aren't in the state of Ohio. You can continue to ignore this fact if you wish, but nonetheless it's a fact.
Frost dominated a non-P5 conference. So did fickle. Frost wanted elite athletes and was going to use that to dominate the west. The disparity between his athletes and the west of the west athletes was not as great as it was at his previous stop compared to that conference. Fleck was the same at WMU.
I don’t really care but why is six in parentheses? Were you going to do the academic 6 (six) thing? Truly curious.
How does humility play into stating facts? I guess if stating well-known facts makes me "the oracle," then guilty as charged.
You don't know me nor anything about me. Fuck off.
I don't know but for some reason people keep posting about that crap state and school. Seems to be an obsession. Wisconsucks is a below average place to take a dump on the way to Chicago.
Lol
How the hell would you know?
Barry and Bert both were while Gary and Paul not so much.
C'mon man, on Gopherhole we really do need to be more aware of the sensitive Badger trolls on this board. You can do better.
Yeah I’m kind of trying to figure this thing out too. Frost was damn impressive at UCF and was a Nebby alumn. I didn’t know or hear anything about his drunken behavior until after the fact. Was this known ahead of time? If so, what’s the dirt on Fickell, is he of the same mold? On paper, great hire. On paper! Plenty of other “great hires” bombed. I still think that the spread/air raid won’t work that well. It’s predicated on you having way better athletes, the recruiting is too close I think. Guess we will see.
Plato cannot prove Fickell doesn't beat his wife.
I have never heard at anytime of Smart being the HC in waiting but have seen and heard Dabo’s name mentioned many times and even mentioned today as a possible replacement when Saban retires.
Sorry. I’ll be better.
Yes. This. Especially since the last one was mostly fueled Bucky fans posting on a Gopher board to tell us why Finkel is the Baby Jesus of college football.
