I'm not really up on college football, especially Gopher football... but was this firing due to the Gopher's poor season or throwing away that huge lead in the Bowl game?

I wonder who the early canidates are for the position?

Mike Shula is one name that comes to mind. Just please not someone from within

I think that the bowl game was the final straw. But yeah season after sesason of medicracy finally made a difference. Thsi was a long time coming and well over due

Its Minnesota.

They will not attract big time coaches.

diagree its a chance to coach in the Big Ten, MN or not its a excellent opportunity right now, new stadium, and they would have a svery solid fan base when they start winning and putting a decent, competitve team on the feild

The embarrassment to Texas Tech!

How can you go out and recruit after that. "Do you want to play for me, we will choke away games and finish one game above or below .500 every season."

Who was it, Mich St a few years ago that came back on us in the dome.
He should have been let go after that game.

He barely beat NDSU (or UND?)!

Sorry Mason, your jar has been Canned!
