After a 9 win season


Tracy Claeys started his stint with one of the least-secure contracts in the country, played under an AD that didn't hire him, and ended his season with some very negative publicity. Minnesota did have nine wins, but they beat some really bad teams, though Northwestern is OK. They lost to anyone with a heartbeat.

This was inevitable.

What's inventible is that the Gophers will hire a coach like Les Miles or PJ Fleck and beat Wisconsin.

I expressed in the other thread that I thought the timing was odd for him to be let go, but I totally forgot about the last AD having to resign for being a creep, too.

It sucks for Claeys, but I understand why the AD just wants to clean house after the rape case mess.

This seems to have been the straw

But it's their 2nd best win total since 1905...think about that for a minute. And the best for 13 years.

This is Minnesota. At least Cleays was an improvement over Jerry Kills, but I'm not convinced they can find someone better at this point.
