Personally, I'm just happy we have a coach physically capable of jogging up and down the field during practice a few times.
Why does that matter?

Leave Les Steckel out of it.
Did we ever see Bud Grant move more then 10 feet during a game??
As a recent alumni, I assumed everyone disliked Claeys until I came to Gopher Hole. I wonder if it's an age/generational thing.

Why did you dislike him? Just curious.
Can we please stop with the damn Claeys vs Fleck pissing matches in every thread. Claeys is gone and Fleck is here. I love what Claeys/Kill built and was very disappointed that Claeys was let go, but it's time to move forward with the new regime. Fleck hasn't coached a game and we got people wanting to fire him if we don't win 8+ games. How would firing a new coach after one year help our program get to the level of the upper echelon Big Ten Schools. I know this probably won't stop the pissing matches because there will always be trolls, but can the people that aren't trolls and are true fans stop this nonsense.

I am a recent alumni and I liked Claeys. Does that answer your question?
Personally? I thought he was a good interim coach, but he has nothing on his resume that says he should be permanent head football coach in the Big Ten.
Most students I talked to disliked him for the tweet/boycott situation though.
Huh. Nine wins. Most successful D-coordinator since ?
Which of those 9 wins were impressive?
9* wins

Nah. I don't exactly have a Pew study to back me up, but most students either didn't give a **** about Claeys or were happy with his firing.
Same with the rest of the seats....
You can be honest, most students don't give a **** about the football program period. Or the student section would fill up more than occasionally.

I agree, and I think this is the biggest point that needs to be made regarding the dreaded culture change.
Coach said it best at his introductory press conference:
“This has to be more than football. We are going to serve and give as much as we possibly can, to each other on our football team, to our community, to other student athletes. It’s not about us anymore."
See, scheduling a bunch of cupcake games see we can look back at say "9 wins" doesn't do anything for me.
I'll admit I didn't read this thread so I'm assuming I'm not the first to point out we just fired a new coach after 1 year when we fired Claeys... Care to come up with a different argument? Or maybe care to notice that literally no one is calling for Fleck to be fired after 1 year? What an idiot.
I look forward to hearing about the many times you get fired. [emoji57]Personally? I thought he was a good interim coach, but he has nothing on his resume that says he should be permanent head football coach in the Big Ten.
Most students I talked to disliked him for the tweet/sex scandal/boycott situation though. Others will say that the fact that a recruit was even present at the sexscapes deserves an automatic firing.
