Reusse: Gophers coach Ben Johnson isn't the type to bask in success and ignore difficult road ahead

[BleedGopher]

Per Pat:


Here's the deal: Johnson might have been baffled over a couple of those Gophers leaving, but he didn't pout about that.

The spirited attitude that he has sold so far to his thin, undertalented collection seems to apply 100% to Johnson as a coach:

"Basketball or life, everybody can do it when it's easy. Who are you when you get punched in the face? Because that's going to come every night.''

Gophers coach Ben Johnson isn't the type to bask in success and ignore difficult road ahead

After his first Big Ten game as a head coach, Johnson — with plenty of conference experience as a player and assistant coach — will make sure his players know their start earns them nothing going forward.

I would call that a fair and honest assessment. I guess Reusse doesn't hate all the Gopher Coaches........

It's easy to understand how Fleck rubs people the wrong way. I love Gopher Football but sometimes I get sick of PJs pressers and constant positivity. I do think he's great, glad he's our HC, just sayin'.

Ben comes off to me much more honest and down to earth. More personable.

Not that I really care Reusse's opinion on any of this though.

Not yet. Give him time.

Diffident Ben is bulletproof and Coyle is a genius.
