Coyle is no dummy.

The agents of Matt Campbell, Matt Rhule, Mark Stoops, Mike Norvell, Dave Clawson are all working overtime right now.

I imagine Dino's agent isn't getting his calls returned. Timing is everything.

I want Minnesota to beat Penn State so badly.

Fleck cashing in on a real soft schedule this year. Let’s see how they do against Ped St this weekend.

Fleck cashing in on a real soft schedule this year. Let’s see how they do against Ped St this weekend.

Soft schedule or not Fleck has MN 8-0 for the first time since 1941. This is a program with zero/Rutgers-like success since the 1960's. Florida State inquired about Fleck per the Mpls Star Tribune so I say good for MN for hopefully locking up a good, young coach for a long time.

Great story, but 8-0 when the only real win might be Ill?

"Soft schedule or not" is a big asterisk here

I'll stick up for Rutgers here. They are by far worse and should have the title all to themselves. The Golden Rodents have way more history

For a school accustomed to going 4-4 or 5-3 in such games, I think they'll take it.

If you want to be good, beat the bad teams.

I don't think they're ready for this weekend's reality though. My $ is on 8-1 come 4 pm Saturday.

Say what you want about a soft schedule but I would take fleck as our coach any day of the week. He’s not getting his doors blown out a few times a year or in shoot outs or offensive line issues or rumors of players wanting out. Dino has a mess and now we are married to him so let’s hope he can row the Syracuse boat for more then one season

 

[corpjet]

Fleck is 20-13 in three-plus seasons at Minnesota......so 12-13 before this season?

hmmm, boy how winning changes everything

sharp decrease in the buy out after this year, he will be gone end of 2020

Look at his time there - it's not that far off from Dino's first 3 years. We have the bigger win. They have blowouts, we have blowouts. I'd bet there are stories one their msg boards (esp after a rough game or season). He's good, but there were questions until this year (I still have some - they are good, but not as good as their record)

They could really lose 3 in a row, he's still a very good coach. A bit much for me but gets the job done for sure

Easy to recruit in balmy Minnesota.

You can only play your schedule. Our schedule has also been pretty soft. Coyle has a nose for talented coaches. He is an excellent AD.

There's always a one man lifeboat for the Fleckster. He will bail.

if we were 8-0 we would have beaten Clemson
