Per his twitter account.
Here's the tweet. Interesting strategy tweeting this out. I have to imagine that Fleck has made his decision to hire TC already, otherwise him interviewing and not getting it would be a bit awkward.

Go Gophers!!
Has to start some where. My question is...would he be a good recruiter? That seems to be a question for all staff members I believe.
you’re one step ahead of me. I couldn’t figure out how to get the twitter on here.Here's the tweet. Interesting strategy tweeting this out. I have to imagine that Fleck has made his decision to hire TC already, otherwise him interviewing and not getting it would be a bit awkward.

Yeah, I can't see this happening at all. No recruiting experience, few ties (that I know of anyway) to high schools in other areas of the country, and no coaching experience. Obviously has the playing pedigree, but that doesn't necessarily translate. Guess we'll see, but I agree with the poster above who said this isn't likely to end well...

Who announces publicly that they are interviewing for a coaching job? It's weird.

Picture looks like it was taken in the 1970's. TC needs a new camera.
Why not Tyrone Carter as DB coach! He is one of the greatest Gopher football players of all time. He loves the University of Minnesota and loves our football program. Mike Sherels didn't have coaching experience when he was hired a few years ago. He proved to be a very successful hire. I think Tyrone Carter can be too.
I would have preferred he not publicly announce this. I know TC is full of enthusiasm and has love for the U but he has no college coaching experience. For all we know this could just be a courteous interview since he is former Letterman and has ties to local kids. Hopefully in the future he learns not to tweet stuff like this out to avoid public scrutiny and to avoid any awkwardness. Good luck to him, one thing he does have is passion for the Gophers.

That's what I was thinking
Well Mike worked his way INTO coaching as a graduate assistant. That's a bit more typical than just SUDDENLY COACH.

Have you ever heard him talk or read his tweets? This is a hard pass for me.Why not Tyrone Carter as DB coach! He is one of the greatest Gopher football players of all time.

Coaching experience for position coaches is overblown for some positions. These guys go from coaching one position to another often. If Fleck hires him, I will trust what Fleck is doing. TC trains athletes. played 10 years at the highest level and has an interest in coaching. I think he is qualified.
However, by the post I think he is just campaigning for an interview.
Can this board ever be happy?
