If true, wow -- they won the coaching search carousel
Not sure but think Les Miles would have been able to come in and take control of that player situation better.
Team vote en sech.
Western was gonna have a hard time winning 7 games next year with or without Fleck. They're losing a shitload of talent.PJ Fleck may have committed career suicide. Couldn't wait it out one more year? Herman had a shitty year and still pulled a major contract, he would have had the power seat going into next year. Now he is headed to Minnesota? Not saying he as a coach can't win there under normal circumstances, but their athletic department is a joke as of now.
I guess choosing not to double down if you have an offer is smart, but the program at Minn is in shambles at the moment. The flip side is, Mark Hudspeth was a huge name for major programs about 4 years ago, now I'm sure a decent bit of posters would have to look him up on google to know where he is HC. Strike while the iron is hot works sometimes, but still think he would have been the Herman of next season if he stuck it out.Western was gonna have a hard time winning 7 games next year with or without Fleck.

I think it's a great move on his part to maximize his hype. He wouldn't have anywhere near the draw for three four more years if he'd stayed.
Now for Brady Hoke NOT to replace him.
They just won 9 games (most in 13 years)and have been to 5 straight bowl games. (Tied for most in school history.)I guess choosing not to double down if you have an offer is smart, but the program at Minn is in shambles at the moment.

Maybe, maybe not. Minnesota typically has enough talent to do OK and they're in a pretty weak division. They're usually a 6-8 win team with bad coaching. Seems like with a good coach it wouldn't be hard to elevate that a few games. I feel like so many big programs passed on Fleck because he had no P5 experience. Win at Minnesota and he can go anywhere.PJ Fleck may have committed career suicide. Couldn't wait it out one more year?

Explain any of that to me, please.Minnesota is a sleeping giant. Good move by Fleck if he makes it. There's not one team in the B10 West that scares you like there is in the East and Minnesota has far more pluses than Wisconsin, Iowa or Nebraska
