Most would say Holtz. But I'm with you on Mason. We're the ecocentric types.

I found this story that confirms it.

Holtz coached the Gophers for how long? It seems like it was two years. I don't think he qualifies.

If you mean coaching and don't include recruiting. Kill was right there with Mason. No coach was better at the run game and online. Kill/Claeyes sure can coach a defense w/o top prospects.

Recruiting was Mason and Kills weakness. If you combine recruiting and coaching it is holtz.

This play-by-play team could use some polishing. Dull!!!

We all do know who Laureinitis is, right?

Nope.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Laurinaitis
Foolishly spurned the hometown Gophers to play for the Buckeyes... He's dead to me.

Didn't he commit to Glen Mason and then change to Ohio State when Mason was fired?


Laurinaitis graduated Ohio State before Mason was fired. According to Laurinaitis' parents, Mason never bothered to even try to recruit him. They were completely baffled by it.



When they asked Mason about it, he probably gave them the same baffled look he always had when looking at the scoreboard.

Some smart-ass on here coined it "Glen Mason Face"

Yep. I did follow that 1967 season when the Gophers won a share of the Big Ten title, but sat home because Indiana hadn't gone to the Rose Bowl in a longer time and they didn't have 8,000 bowl games.

Fresno scored 79 points last weekend?


Kansas lost to Nichols State in OT

12th straight loss

have a new AD, who issued a statement saying the program is being evaluated.

Bad news for the coach, who is 3-34 since taking over the program in 2015.

That program has just been god-awful for a long time.
