Go Gophers!!
Go Gophers!!
I hope he wins it. He is deserving.
I hope he wins this... he seems to be a good fella. I liked him as our coach. I also like the coach who followed him, and the coach who preceded him....
That being said, I watched their last game vs Stanford and the stands in Pullman were 1/3 to 1/2 empty and this is a top 10 team. College football attendance is an issue countrywide.
The Stanford game was in Nor-Cal. Stanford is having a mediocre season (for them) so not too surprising on the crowd. One does not drive anywhere in California without a very good reason, on account of horrendous traffic. It takes something pretty special to pull in full crowds in these areas.
Congrats to Coach Claeys and well-deserved. I still think the 2016 holiday bowl's defensive effort is one of the greatest college coaching displays I have ever seen. Leach had a front row seat, and I think he agrees and figured it would be better to have Claeys on his side.
It was a really good effort. But let’s not pretend it was one of the best efforts ever.
A 9 win team beat a 10 win team.
When I think of best coaching jobs ever I think of 2007 Stanford over USC.
I think of App State over Michigan.
I don’t think of 8-4 Minnesota over 10-2 Washington State
Given the player suspensions and the turmoil over them? Hmmm. Don't sell it too short.
It really is amazing how some people just can't help but post negative crap. A really good assistant coach is recognized for being a really good assistant coach and the first couple replies in the thread are already bringing up crap about the way he dressed in cold weather games or the comments a small percentage of mean posters made about his weight.
Guess it would be too boring to post something along the lines of: Congrats to Coach Claeys, well deserved, hope he wins it.
Looks like he didn't have the horses to contain Washington... couldn't contain the edge several times, big plays cost them...
That and the weather took Leach's offense out of the game.
Entertaining game.

His defense gave up 487 yards in a 28-15 loss in the snow.
