He's a Butch Jones type guy off the field with Urban Meyer type results on it. That guy would kill it at a big program. I used to not be able to stand his sort of rhetoric after we went through Jones' garbage, but the cat gets results.

I prize Pruitt's demeanor, smart direct talk, and the way he refuses to pander. Not to deny your point. Just an opportune time to say.

Siap - is our game tonight really not just on SECN-A and only on this espn+ nonsense? Feels like switch and bait for what people, especially out of state, originally paid for by extending their subscription to get SECN.

You don’t have to take my word for it. His contract and the attention he’s getting speaks for its self. Name me a better coaching job in the last decade over taking WMU to a bcs bowl and improving every year at Minn to have them 8-0 right now.

I get that people think he’s cheesy which may be part of it but dude is a maniac when it comes to schematics, film, and football. He’s also a huge cultural / locker room guy. That’s why i think FSU would hit the lottery getting him. Minnesota AD knew they were interested and went to battle. The timing isn’t just a coincidence.

Didn't say he was a bad coach...just that you get stupid coach crushes sometimes. Why don't you pump up Ferentz like this? He has accomplished a lot more, for a lot longer...🤷‍♂️

He may come off corny but i think it’s actually who he is and runs schematic circles around butch jones. They aren’t even comparable.

I get that he did really well at Western Michigan. But Minnesota hasn’t beaten anyone this year. That division is awful. According to ESPN FPI, their wins are to 59, 64, 67, 68, 73, 86, 118 and a D1AA team. The top team at 59 is Nebraska. Oof.

It’s Minnesota. They are never gonna sniff being a top 25 program so winning all those game is big accomplishment. It’s not like you’re saying he did this at texas or Georgia or something.

How poor was Jones from an X's and O's standpoint? I've heard a few close to the program say it was almost embarrassing how below average he was.

Butch is an excellent special teams coach. That’s what we practiced more than anything else and we were very good at it his tenure. It’s also what he’s doing at Alabama and why’s he’s there.

But in terms of building an offense or said side of the ball, he’s the worst lve personally seen. (Besides Adam gase) 😭😭😭

Analytics like this to me are just stupid. We've gone too far in the sports world with stuff like this. Is a guy winning or is he losing? Bottom line is Fleck is 8-0 at Minnesota. If I'm Fleck I'm telling people who are of this mindset to take a long walk off a short pier.

That is dumb though...I ain't gonna go Hankhill type hyperbole on him, but he is a good coach, and one thing that our struggles the last decade+ have proven to me is...good coaches do not grow on trees.
