hey now. we are getting a roof and a rollercoaster with no cars. Baby steps.Speaking of PJ Fleck with the Gophers, I read that UM spent $166 million for campus construction of an Athletes Village; which opened last year.
And PJ Fleck is doing an even more impressive job IMO. PJ might annoy other teams fans but kids seem to love him.
Maybe true but I spend a lot of time in Minnesota and there is a buzz about that team that I have never seen before. Gopher football was basically an after thought. Now they are spending money upgrading facilities, brought in a players coach and the fans and recruits are tacking notice. I would trade with them right now. Diehards here are getting back to grob levels after the last few losses. Dino was brought here for one thing, to turn us around with an explosive offense. Remember the close your eyes speech or orange is the new fast. Does anything we do this year resemble that. Syracuse is the destiny usa of college football. Promise the world and deliver the basics.still think they are overrated. Not a great win on the resume, IMO
Who is the AD there? Some Coyle guy?Maybe true but I spend a lot of time in Minnesota and there is a buzz about that team that I have never seen before.

I think this pretty much tells us what we are up against. I honestly believe Syracuse still believes in the the only horse in town theory and simply will not spend the kind of money that is needed. I hate to keep saying this but Im worried that we will never be that program we were in the 80s and 90s again.No housing from what I understand. Has everything else under the sun. Leadership development center, Indoor practice facility, Academic excellence center, dedicated Nutrition center, S&C upgrade -which was already highly respected at UM, and of course new locker rooms.
Look no further then cordy. How have we not recruited over him by now. No offense to him at all. I get the talent has been brought in and he have injuries but by year 4 we should have a credible 2nd and third teamI think we all expected that Dino and the Orange would be on a positive trajectory. The team currently taking the field does not operate really much faster than the bulk of power conference teams or as advertised. This speaks to a lack of capable personnel. This was not expected in year four. I really hope the long term aspirations for sustained success begins to show in recruiting. In my humble opinion it would seem very difficult to grow a program without a very high level of competition on the practice field; with freshman and sophomores constantly challenging juniors and seniors for playing time. I still appears we have depth problem at many positions.
Minnesota has played one team with a winning record, Nebraska and barely beat some very poor teams. Paper tiger
Quite impressive job being done in Waco. Inherited a complete dumpster fire at Baylor in 2015. Will go to 7-0 today and moving again in the polls from #18. Had two 10 win seasons at Temple. Man knows how to build a program.
Yes, he sure annoys me!And PJ Fleck is doing an even more impressive job IMO. PJ might annoy other teams fans but kids seem to love him.
If not for Peyton Manning he would be the head coach of the Jets. He will be in the NFL next year for sure.Quite impressive job being done in Waco.
