Sam McKeeon also mentioned it as a possibility on Sharp and Handley.

That would be an interesting hire by UM. I am not sure I see the fit though, part of Fleck’s deal is his culture brand that he makes sure is outwardly in everyone’s face and he doesn’t back down from it either. I don’t see UM allowing him to mess with the UM brand/logo like he has done at Minny. Does he have other tricks in his bag to instill a culture other than over the top marketing & communication?

True, Fleck has proven to be a solid HC for sure, as much as I hate admitting that. That being said, Minny's offenses after Ciarrocca left the first time after 2019 seemed to struggle, their PPG declined YoY in 2020 and 2021, or at least Tanner Morgan really struggled. Fleck made it a point to hire Ciarrocca back last offseason and their offense improved, not a coincidence I don't think. I believe that this sneakily is a pretty big hire for Fleck, I will be very curious to see how their offense fares over the next 2 seasons. Minnesota Offense PPG by Season 2022 PPG - 28.2 (Ciarrocca was OC) 2021 PPG - 25.5 2020 PPG - 27.3 2019 PPG - 34.1 (Ciarrocca was OC) 2018 PPG - 28.9 (Ciarrocca was OC) 2017 PPG - 22.1 (Ciarrocca was OC, first year for Fleck and Co at Minny)

I feel like this applies to most of us on here. Perhaps we should all have this quoted in our signature blocks on here, it would give proper context to our posts above it.

Not unusual for people at smaller firms to get loftier titles than they would at bigger companies for their experience level. The other advantage of smaller firms is that you often wear multiple hats and get to be a part of a building process as many functions/tasks aren't refined and developed yet so you get a deeper understanding of what it takes. Often these types of roles are great to parlay to a similar title at a larger company if you are competent and build solid resume accomplishments. Good for her, she can use this as a good springboard if she works hard at it.

Big fan of this hire. We need more coaches that look like cavemen.

He is impressive, can definitely tell why he is a rising star. Assuming his tenure at NU goes as we all hope, the only concern might be how long Rhule can convince him to stay before becoming a HC. If that happens, then the Blackshirts will be fun to watch in the near future.

Yes they are after the LB brothers still I believe.

Agreed, I really was encouraged by the confusion TCU’s D caused. I am really excited about what White can do at NU with his scheme.

Big XII is 2-6 in bowl games after TCU’s win. B1G is 4-1 so far after Michigan’s loss.

Michigan has also given up 2 pick 6’s, have been stopped with no points twice inside the 5 yard line, and are getting out rushed 247 to 166. Michigan is way out of its element right now.

Show some respect man. Very unclassy and unnecessary.

Pretty sure macro was referring to a poster who claimed Rhule only has 1 year to get NU going.

SF is still well regarded as an offensive mind. If/when he is ready to get back in, he will at a minimum lane a good OC job somewhere, of that I have no doubt.

My Mom still sends me a pack in NY every Xmas, one of my favorite things is still getting those boxes. Now my only issue is preventing my teenage son from eating them all on me…

Because he had never tried chili and cinnamon rolls and thought that was how it was done and didn’t like it. He later followed up on social media thanking everyone for explaining that you don’t actually pour the chili over the cinnamon roll and wished he knew that earlier.

Agreed on Rhule’s track record for putting athletes all over so I am hopeful on this hire. I absolutely love this scheme for players like Gifford and Wright, they will light it up in this scheme.

This video along with that other instructional video emphasize that the Safeties in this D HAVE to be able to cover or the deep middle is a weak spot. Syracuse seemed to lack coverage talent at S and gave up big plays, I am hoping that Rhule and Co can recruit a bit better S talent to NU. That all being said, I don’t see that weak spot hurting NU ad much in the B1G, except for OSU, MU, and PSU. I would say Purdue, but not sure who replaces Brohm yet.

I remember Rovers! Mike Minter says hello!!!

Maybe it is because I am well into my pre-Beat Navy drink-a-thon at this point, but I LoL’d very hard at this post. Probably won’t remember why I thought it was so damn funny at the time later on, but props to you!

Very nice!

Interesting message, I just wonder if you are a top level recruit with offers to Alabama, Georgia, OSU, Michigan, etc. that all put a ton of players into the NFL, and become stars as well, and CU comes along with a puny NIL offer, why say yes?

I will be fascinated to see how CU’s NIL comes along. They are notoriously cash strapped, and have been for YEARS, which would seem to indicate a lack of donors. The recent comments from the AD stating that they will “find” the money to pay Deon is troubling to me. Deon can recruit no doubt, but at P5 level these days, the top recruits aren’t going to go somewhere that doesn’t have good NIL opportunities.

That was the exact same reaction I had when I read that tweet as well. Doesn't bode well for using NIL to get transfers....
