Horton being interviewed by P.A. on KFAN right now. FYI. Likely available via podcast later.
Oh, now the interview a Gopher football coach! LOL.
Would Frazier just quit the vikings? And the gophers can wait around for him to complete the vikings season. Neither makes sense.
I'd worry about that agreement, though. What if the Vikes go to the SB? That leaves Frazier with job responsibilities until February ... and by then, signing day is upon us. Gotta have someone who is available to start and have a staff in place by early December.

A head coach's role in recruiting should be as a figure head only. Anything more than that and your seven-figure employee is doing the sort of work an hourly intern can do.
An intern can recruit?
If Frazier is coaching the Vikes in the Super Bowl, then he won't have to recruit a lot of young men, especially Minnesota boys. All they have to know is that Frazier will be the coach, and they can check out what he's all about by watching the Super Bowl.
But you're right, it isn't the ideal way to deal with things. The timing puts us behind schedule if the Vikings go to the Super Bowl.
The head coach's role in recruiting should be that when he walks into a living room of a recruit, the recruit craps his pants. He's the deal-sealer.
I can't remember who the Minnesota kid who went to Northwestern when Barnett was there, but I was talking to someone familiar with the situation and when Barnett came in the front door, the family knew they were dealing with the "real deal."
Was it Javier Collins?
Oh, and head coaching plays a major part in recruiting. They don't do the initial grunt work, but they are usually the ones who "land" the major players.
If Frazier is the next head coach, what about Pat Williams as defensive line coach? Many people think this will be his last year in the Pro's.

LSU seems to get pretty good DLine play, Williams could just recruit from his neck of the woods. It would be a win, win, win. Increased talent, Pat could coach them up in his language, they could speak that language on the field and the other team wouldn't understand.
