Hey everyone, if you are interested I will be conducting an interview with future Golden Gopher wrestler Logan Storely tomorrow at about 8:00 p.m. at dakotabroadcasting.com. Logan is a six time state champion in south Dakota, and winner of the Junior Dan Hodge award. Basically the Heisman of...

Has anyone been listening to KFAN at all since the Jerry Kill hire? Now I understand a lot of people don't seem to like KFAN on these boards. I in fact do, it is my favorite radio station. However, KFAN incorrectly announced Paul Chryst would be the next head coach of the Gophers, a few hours...

Anyone else excited to see this kid in a run heavy-Jerry Kill-offense? I thought he looked good in the short time he played before injury. Kill has coached kids such as Chad Spann (1330 yards 20TD's), Michael Turner (1915 yards, 19TDs) and Garrett Wolfe (1976 yards and 18TDs) I think he will...

I have posted this a couple of times and no one seems to respond to this. I direct this to most of the Kill haters out there. Kill was the best person who had true interest in the job and that is not a slight on the Gophers team. Several of our coaching candidates turned down other jobs. Now...

It seems to me that if Kill is the guy as recent rumors say he is how many people said no? Also, I would nope Maturi would realize where Gopher football stands nationally if he got turned down by a dozen candidates. 1.) Petersen - No 2.) Harbaugh - No 3.) Patterson - No No surprise with...

So this is the reasoning. Its not groundbreaking or earth shattering, but I want to know why I am wrong. If the coach is not named by Monday-Tuesday next week (as a show of good faith I will say Wednesday even) then it HAS to be Brady Hoke. They are simply waiting for the buyout to go down...

I was just thinking. Now I don't believe all the rumors I have been hearing, but after Barrerio's show today I got pretty depressed. Justin Gaard reported that Edsall, Cryst, Calhoun, Hoke and Golden have all turned us down. This is not the first person to report this. Now maybe these...

Tom Dienhart did a live chat today on Rivals.com, and he had this to say when asked about the Minnesota coaching job: "I have been told Hoke has pulled out. Also told Al Golden and Randy Edsall have interviewed. This could be settled by this time next week. Maturi has said he wanted a proven...

As most on these boards are aware by now, the most recent batches of rumors state the Gophers are down to three top candidates. Allegedly, Maturi and Dave Mona were on a plane with a destination of California. One can only assume that those two are going to interview SDSU coach Brady Hoke...

Doogie just shot out a tweet: "coaching update from a source tonight: Sumlin is still very much in the mix... as is Temple's Al Golden. Should know more this week" Sumlin has to be the front runner. He has been at the forefront of rumors even before Brewster was fired and he is still hanging...

Even though I don't think he is coming to Minnesota, Al Golden's Owls are currently playing on ESPN 2 against Ohio. They are trailing 7-0 at the start of the second.

I want nothing to do with Randy Shannon and I don't consider him a real candidate, but I have posted all these so far. Shannon has struggled at one of the best football Universities in the nation with top recruits. How would he handle mediocre Big Ten Country? Minnesota Gopher Coaching...

Wouldn't complain about this one. Phil Fulmer is the latest hot name to be mentioned for the Gophers head coaching vacancy. It seems every week we get a new guy who is almost definitely-probably-certainly-maybe-absolutely-according to multiple sources close to the coach who may or may not...

In my opinion he should be a top candidate! Let's take a closer look at former Oregon Ducks head coach and current E!SPN analyst Mike Bellotti. As you'll see, Bellotti has been ridiculously successful at a BCS conference school, and yet is never one of the first names mentioned among Gopher...

Love this guy. I just don't think he would leave the good thing he has going at the Air Force Troy Calhoun is the favorite, or at least near the top of the list, for many Gopher fans. He has good offensive experience and I'd find it hard to believe that anybody being considered a candidate...
