You win with great players, great coaches and a financial backing to support both of these needs. At Minnesota, we need to rely heavily on developing HS recruits. We don't have the money to buy a great roster. So, we develop great players and grab a few great players in the portal to fill the gaps and develop better depth.

Then create a system and process to get you where you want to go. With a high level of "buy in" to that system, great players have a better chance of maximizing their full potential which leads to
a team that gets the results they are striving for.

At the end of the day, you need a financial commitment from the University to be able to provide the resources to bring in great players and keep great coaches.

Listen to what the President of Indiana shared with the world. They have a very intense finacial commitment to their Football Program which is producing great results.

It certainly doesn't hurt to have a Mark Cuban in your corner.

Go look at IU's and the U's overall classes for 2025 and 2026. They are very similar. Go look at Cignetti's 2024 pay, and the pay of his staff. He was making close to $3 million less than Fleck. Did they get an influx of $$ for 2025? Yes, absolutely. Did it translate into bringing in a bunch of highly rated recruits and transfers that impacted 2025? Other than the QB, I do not think so. IU's overall class for 2025 was ranked #39, the U's was ranked #43. IU's 2026 overall class is ranked #23 (39 total, 10 4*), the U's is ranked #29 (50 total, 7 4*) so there is more separation in this class than the previous two (2024, 2025) as far as rating talent.

I do agree there's a difference in coaching and developing players, no question.

Our Cignetti coaches the Dance Line.

If anybody here knows where the next Cignetti is, they should point him out. The question isn't where is he; the real question is who is he.

Who is this Cignetti-level (2-for-2 playoff participant, national champion) coach available to take over the Gophers program right now?

If fleck left the gophers I would go all in on Ferris state coach

Offensive innovator
Kind of old.
But wins.
Midwest ties.

If he doesn’t work out you start fresh in 3 years


Super unconventional hire to jump d2 to the big ten.
