Not happy. Worrying about this year's recruiting class is short sighted. They needed to pick someone who knew how to run every aspect of the program. Claeys has a good sideline demeanor and the clock fiasco not withstanding did a solid job on the sidelines. If your going to turn a major D1 program over to someone, he should have a longer resume than that. Don't get me wrong. I hope he becomes the greatest coach in Gopher history. I think John Gutekunst II is the more likely scenario. Then we start from square 1 again in 3 years.


Was it really necessary to move this fast on giving him the job and a multi year contract?

Did Kill have/has that much clout with the President?



My thoughts exactly

Step back with this.

Among a lot of Claeys' incentives: $150,000 for a national title. $75,000 for home attendance average at 49K or higher.


@Skorzo60
I'm glad Claeys got the job, but it's sad U athletic department is in a position where it had no other choice.


@NSandell
Like move by Gophers to act quickly with HC/Claeys decision. Allows team to fully move forward before season's conclusion, less loose

@PhilMackey
There's no benefit to blowing it up right now. If it's not working, you can reset in a year or two.

@DWolfsonKSTP
Here's how badly Claeys wanted the job: didn't use an agent. If he had used Kill's agent, agent prob. would've pushed for more than 3 yrs.

@1500ESPNJudd
Definitely will say I was wrong if that turns out to be the case. That's what makes sports fun.

@kentwipf
@1500ESPNJudd couldn't agree with you more! Clayes approach was to "threaten" the Dept that they'd lose recruits. Not that he's best choice

Hilarious to see those incentives ... hilarious.
Could have promised him $70 kabillion for the National Title incentive, if that's (incentives) what he was into ....

and given this program, neither probably wind up as a qb.

Are we so deep at RB that one of the most heavily recruited RB's out of high school can't get a shot at the position?

I didn't think we would win, but I didn't think it would go like this. Leidner has been really good.

Now, coach quit, 1 win in six conference games and won't even get a Toilet Bowl game. Good job of the AD to pick TC's.
