    I don't know enough about the other potential candidates, but I really think if you can make Wyoming competitive, you would do ok at the U. I really don't think he would do any worse than some of what the U has had to deal with over the past several years.

    How old is Bohl though? I know he can coach, but how does he do with boosters and fundraising?

    I only see him going unless a lot of their top candidates say no

    I look for them to hire based on:

    1 Disciplinarian (need to clean up their act before NCAA does it for them)
    2 Offense minded (the question is whether it will be a wide open offense or BIG 10 power offense)
    3 Someone who can recruit nationwide.

    The yellowing rodents have been a cellar dweller in the Big 10 for so long it will take a while to make them relevant.

Details leaked and both team and coach looked bad. Now the players that boycotted are mad their coach got fired when they basically put his neck on the chopping block.

    The best thing for NDSU and any former coach or player is to not be mentioned in the same sentence as the Gophs.

    This is pretty much what I was thinking. First, when you read what happened, you realize just how disgusting this who incident was. The party thing it just gross. The players then supporting those involved, especially to the degree they did is messed up. The coach supporting the players for supporting the incident is pretty clueless. The backpedaling an saying they were protesting "due process" was just pathetic. Altogether, some major character and culture issues that need to be changed.

    This stuff probably happens at schools all over the country, but seriously what is wrong with kids these days.

    I wish you could say it has been a recent issue, but it is has been that way for a long time with some schools...Look at Miami, Florida State, USC...and the list can go on...this has been a problem for programs for at least 25 years...

    Are you that dense? Our recruiting pipeline to MN will never be cut off. I don't care if Sabin is the next coach, if he is taking our recruits he will be looking for a new job too!

    This goes a bit beyond what I'd consider typical though...this wasn't cheating in an effort to win or gain an advantage. That I can at least understand even if I don't like it. When they boycotted the players threw boosters and ticketholders under the bus. The very people who paid for their scholarships. Just a complete disconnect from reality.

    We can agree to disagree, but as a Florida resident, we heard all the stories out of Gainesville, Miami and Tallahassee of "student athletes" in a jam for assault, shoplifting, etc....especially during the Bowden, Johnson and Meyer eras. That was purely cheating to win...nothing else.

Even Stick and RJ were largegely recruited by Bohl b4 the change. While I think Coach K will be very successful, I would be very leery of a Gopher booster in bringing on someone with such thin experience. (See Tim Brewster, yes, I think Coach K would be 10,000x better; but this is how a Gopher could see it.)

    On a side note I think Minnesota will "Row the Boat".

    I find it funny you are saying that Klieman's head coaching experience is thin when Fleck only has one more year.
