Augduck No. 1 Share Posted October 2, 2023 https://athlonsports.com/college-football/demand-grows-college-football-coach-firing-pj-fleck-minnesota-golden-gophers Glad he was not hired. If memory serves me right his name was bandied about after the MH firing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph No. 3 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Give the guy his props. The Row the Boat guys did defeat Louisiana State (er, Monroe) on Saturday. Minny has a shot to win a bad B1G West Division. But drawing both Michigan, at Minn this Saturday and Ohio State in Columbus from the B1G E is tough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirklandduck Moderator No. 4 Share Posted October 2, 2023 To be fair, we'll really never know how he would've done at Oregon given the incredible resources accessible to him here. Those resources allowed Mario to overperform despite his lack of X's and O's knowledge. P.J. might have experienced the same in Eugene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 5 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Minnesota should be grateful he came there. They are 4-0 in bowl games since he arrived. They were 3-7 before that and seldom went to a bowl game. I would say the Gopher fans are the ones in trouble. If they run PJ out of town who will replace him? Build the program and go with the ups and downs. You have a good coach. As far as at Oregon, who knows, but PJ is a damn good coach and won't have to look too long for a better job if fired. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic No. 6 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I think the issues at Mn are deeper than the HC. But this sort of thing always happens when a season doesn't start out well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first game I saw Bucky Irving was against Ohio State and the dude was shredding them. A week later it was CJ Verdell shredding the Ohio State defense. Bucky was an incredible talent that slipped away from them. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
