At any time Minny could have a bad season just because of the level of talent. It is dangerous to stay there. If a big job offers him the job he is goooooone!!! I disagree. Minnesota recently built a new stadium and have shown they are willing to pay good money for a coach. Now , they are in the easiest division of the big ten, so they could possibly be playing for conference championships every year. They are the only big time college football team in the state, and I would imagine that they have the pick of all the good players in the state. I’m not saying it’s one of the premier jobs in the country but it’s not as bad as some on here see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I see of Gus the more I think he's a guy who can get a program to 7-5/8-4 but not much further. He would jump up and catch us on a bad day once or twice if he went to Arky but if we had a DC worth anything he'd put the kabosh on his offense. After 5 or 6 years Arky would get tired of losing most of their games to good teams and go try someone else. Then they'd either fall back into the crushing abyss of losing to San Jose State and WKU or get a little bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing against that competition, there is enough talent in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois to grab some players. I think the point @GwillMac6 was making is that programs like Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Penn State etc have had established recruiting ties that Minnesota does not for years. If you're an also ran like Minnesota and you're trying to claw your way to contender status you almost can't afford for even moderately talented guys to flop when they get on campus because there might not be someone else of similar talent that you can plug in. I checked Minnesota's recruiting the last few years, there's a whole lot of 3* guys. The fact that Fleck has gotten these guys to buy in and perform far above what it was thought they were capable of is why people are so impressed with him.

Lol I think what Marshall is insinuating is those at the top like feeling they have power or influence over a mild mannered coach like Gus or Chiz or Tubbs. Someone like PJ Fleck who has his own brand and a strong personality would not be popular with these types. Maybe it's because I wasn't born into Auburn but I don't understand why is this even a thing. Why doesn't the conversation start and end with "What can we do to win more football games?"
