It's unreasonable to think a 39 year old coach would stay in one place his entire career. That kinda stuff doesn't happen anymore.

He might not stay here forever, but he's not leaving until he at least wins UMn a Big Ten title and maybe a Natl Title, too. But if he does that, why would he leave?

Seriously? If UMn can pay him as much as anyone else, why would he feel the need to leave?

Apparently he disagrees with you.

You believe that, that USC boosters have deeper pockets than UMn? Why would you believe that?

You think Minnesotans are broke as bumpkins?

lol. Highest per capita # of Fortune 500 companies in Minnesota. We've got PLENTY of money. And Fleck is a midwestern guy, says his dream has been to coach in the B1G. He's got a lake home with a boat, on Lake Minnetonka, his wife LOVES Minnesota. Not everyone wants to live in Commiefornia with all of it's homeless and shit and drug needles on the sidewalks.

Maybe Fleck wants to coach in the 2nd smallest stadium in the entire B1G, where even then, they rarely sell out games.

At least the Gophers have a bigger stadium than Northwestern.

Ohio State is almost 100k show up for their spring game. Minnesota struggles to get 50k at actual games and it is a ‘destination school’ :pound:

I witnessed Iowa beat MN last night. I witnessed Iowa beat MN hoops today.

Well, the rasslin win? Wow, surprising, really, SHOCKING actually, lol.

The bb win I'll grant was an upset. It's not often Iowa has anything outside of rasslin to brag about, I'm guessing you are just beeming with excitement right now???

Name them. And why Fleck specifically AND his culture stuff, will want to go there and why they would want him and his culture schtick.

Well your CB coach just left to go to Oregon for a lateral move.

That's one.

If that's true, then you're right...he will be there forever.

Yeah, it is. You let me know when those 100,000 fans that show up to Michigan's spring game help them beat Ohio St much less a Natl Title, ok?

Winning brings in more fans. Fleck and Minny are just getting started. Meanwhile Michigan is fixing to get a beatdown on opening day.

Michigan rolls en route to a 7-5 or 6-6 season for UW.

Like I told AG I just mentioned USC as an example. There are better destinations out there with a better history than your Gophers. I know you don't want to hear that. But it's true. If Fleck decides to never leave Minnesota good for him. I just don't see that happening.

And @ralphiewvu you were right. He mentioned Fortune 500 companies.

Dude, check some of the other threads out too. He literally tried to use because MinnyU led the nation one year in attendance 40 plus years ago that they were a better basketball team now then my school. He also tried to bring up how football recruits care about internships to all the fortune 500 companies that MinnyU has.

I laughed so hard I almost shit myself.

my favorite part about it is that the Gophers fans on the hoops board are completely rational

then Fred comes aboard and just starts ranting incoherent bullshit

Yes, but do they know how many Nobel peace prizes MinnyU has?

Minny will have a 10 win season this year.

When you play in a stadium that is less than half the size of the top teams in the conference — you’d can win every game and you aren’t getting more fans
I think some Texas high schools have bigger stadiums than Minnesota.

It seats just over 50,000 fans .. about the same as Oregon's stadium. Minny will be just fine. The media will be sucking Fleck's pen0r after the gophers go 10 - 3 this year.

How you know that Minnesota is irrelevant.
