Oy, the doubters will struggle with this one. This was predicted right off the get-go and scoffed at by the Gopher Hole bourgeoisie. This was a package deal, I am sure. No one can reverse the 25 year carnage (Clem through Pitino) of Minnesota not recruiting Minnesota prospects. The connection...

Has to be. This span of time. I suspect Nuness as Associate HC, and Conroy as the holdover, maybe Damien and Thor?

I agree. I assume that he has a couple of aces up his sleeve like Garcia, Race, Thorson, and maybe even Chet. What if? I'm a hopeless Gophers backer. I've been wishing my whole life, why worry about this one? I can see this working as well as Tubby. The writing was on the wall with him too, but...

I think it is a crapshoot for the U. For God's sake, who has really shined? Clem? for a few moments, but pretty lackluster otherwise, followed by the dubious demise at the end. Dutcher? One great class, one Big Ten title and then nada, and another sour ending. Musselman? He was like the Magic...

Know your history on this one. Reasons: 1. He coached Ben Johnson in high school. He has to have a lot of loyalty to that. 2. He left the Gophers staff under Clem. His lukewarm support for the Gopher program in the last 25 years was a big reason the Gophers started struggling to recruit...

I'm amazed at all the Sam Mitchell love. He's an NBA guy through and through. I think that could help, but he is getting a bit long in the tooth, as well, and hasn't even been coaching recently. To think we could have got Musselman is ridiculous. I think Dutch was a real possibility, but...

He does more than check boxes. Just being familiar with him doesn't make him a bad candidate. All too often, the coaches that don't make a splash at hire end up making a splash in performance. I think you'd rather have experience, yes, but let's let this play out a bit. If Dave Thorson comes as...

It will be interesting to see if McKinley Wright still goes to Dayton. With Archie gone, will he end up at Dayton? Indiana? Other? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
