We can be selfish and hope the Gopher attitude that they showed when Larson applied for the Track position still hold true.

Good luck to Coach Mueller in what ever should happen.

A little off topic but all Coach Plascenia at MN has done in his two years since being hired over Larson is win the Big Ten Championship in 2009 and 2010 in both indoor and outdoor. Named Coach of the year both years and finished 8th at the NCAA Championships in 09 and 37th at this years meet. Coach Larson is a great coach but hard to find fault with the coach MN hired. As for softball, the St. Thomas coach is the favorite at MN. but it will be close

After speaking with Lars himself, I am not aware of any attitude that they gave him. He is very good friends with most of the staff at the U and would interview again if they gave him the opportunity. He sees at as an opportunity to visit with old friends. I thought the Plascencia hire was a mistake and have been proven wrong so far, but am interested to see if he can recruit sprinters, jumpers, and hurdlers. He is still using a lot of Lundin's recruits, but has had success with his own as of recently.

Mueller is also interviewing at Wisconsin.

Per Kolpack @ BMB:

Another twist has surfaced in the Darren Mueller-to-Minnesota story. It appears the University of Wisconsin has entered the picture for the NDSU head softball coach and has interviewed him for its vacancy.

Mueller isn't returning phone calls, hasn't for over a week, and the delay is puzzling. The Gophers wanted to make a decision over a week ago and nothing has happened. It makes you wonder: If U of M was rock solid in its decision to want Mueller, why wait? Maybe this Wisconsin scenario is part of it.

Anyway, has to be sleepless nights for Mueller. It's a life-changing decision and something will be resolved in the next few days, you would think.

Wisconsin earlier this month filled it, only to see the Creighton head coach change his mind and remain in Omaha. I'm guessing the NDSU coach would want to investigate his reason before accepting anything.

It looks like Minnesota is waiting for Darren Mueller to make a decision. He appears to have Minnesota in his pocket with the option to take the Badgers or return to NDSU.

it's Tschida's job at MN and has been for awhile if he can work out some contract and assistant coaching issues.

Must be pretty big issues if it he hasn't officially taken the job yet

[Bryan]

with Maturi, even the easiest hires can become difficult.

Darren is staying at NDSU. He was offered both jobs Minnesota and Wisconsin. His sister just told me. Enjoy those Bud Lights Angies bringing you .
