How much is MN paying their defensive coordinator?
Disagree. We have the budget, facilities, and support to compete for a National Championship every year. We've done it since the 1960's.
Bohl went into a perfect situation because he took over a crappy team, got paid big to do it, and built it up to a great program. He's now set up to be a Power 5 conference head coach in the next few years when the buyout numbers fall. (unless the teams sucks and he gets fired like Joe Glenn did)
Klieman going to Western Michigan, realistically speaking, is a situation where they don't have the resources to compete and make it to a quality FBS Bowl. Anything less than an undefeated season and Bowl equal to what they got this year would be considered a failure. You have to either maintain something or build it up from scratch to be considered a success. Now if he could take a job at say... Bowling Green and build them up while getting paid better than what he is getting now... that will lead to a Power 5 job.

Last year at this time I don't think anybody here thought Bohl did the right thing. If he hadn't shown significant improvement this year he likely would have been fired instead of signing an extension.
So yeah by rebuilding a crap team in a difficult place to recruit Bohl increased his stock probably more than Klieman could do at W Michigan. But that doesn't make it a better opportunity or something Klieman is well suited for IMO. And I don't believe for a second that something less than an undefeated season would be considered a failure. They know perfectly well that's not the norm and their rockstar coach is gone and the reason he is gone is because their school can't pay anybody enough to stay there with that kind of success.
Seems like a few of those MAC schools catch lightning in a bottle and have 1 or 2 good years. Northern Illinois and Kent State recently from what I can remember.
I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

I think so too. I don't really care if Minnesota does well or not I just think Les Miles provides instant credibility and a shot to bring in the best kids all of the country. I don't think he'd be as good as he was at LSU or OK St but the guy knows big games and it'd be fun to see what kind of team he could put on the field. That rah rah shit from Fleck is going to get old fast IMO.

Don't matter. FIVE-PEAT!
