re: Minnesota gives Claeys the axe

I agree that PJ Fleck would be a good-get, but there's not a lot of substance to these mentions. Fleck's name gets tossed out for every job, and while I don't doubt Minnesota's interest, I don't see why Fleck would bolt WMU for the disaster in Minnesota. Fleck can go ahead and dominate the MAC again, potentially take out Michigan State, and have some better options next season.
Additionally, Fleck and was with Tracy Claeys and Jerry Kill at Northern Illinois. I'm not sure the relationship between the three anymore, but I can't imagine talks about Minnesota would be very good.
The below tweets from Brett McMurphy wouldn't instill much confidence into me as a coach:
There's always talk about players being mad after a firing. How often have you ever seen a "mass exodus" after a coach has been fired? Have you every seen even ten players transfer after a coach has been fired?
Minnesota should go get Les Miles. He bring instant credibility and will soon have Minnesota on top in the Western Division. Wisconsin's academic standing is going down and people would rather play in a real city like Minneapolis instead of Madison.

This is quite the deviation from your typical coaching departure. We'll see.

Minnesota has been making the wrong coaching hirings/firings for the last 50 years. History would disagree with you.

First, according to 247, Minnesota is dead last in B1G recruiting rankings.
Second, Minneapolis is a beautiful city. It's one of my favorites, but no one gives a shite about the Gophers. Madison is another beautiful city that is lauded by numerous publications as the best college town in the country. You think HS recruits would rather flock to a half-full TCF Bank Stadium? Probably not.
Why are you continually bringing up Wisconsin, anyway?

Best case scenario for this team is you only lose the 10 that were suspended by the athletic director. The haven't have a player commit since the story broke 3 weeks ago, dead last in the Big 10 in recruiting. I don't see someone like Miles or Fleck taking that job.
