Ok, so about 24 hours has passed since the announcement of our new coach. Most of us have weighed in here, the radio shows have taken their predictable positions, and opinion hacks have put their thoughts on paper.
One of the best summations I found was this by Scoggins.
"In the big picture, Claeys is ready for this role. He was nominated for the Frank Broyles Award (top college assistant) the past two seasons and he’s transformed the Gophers defense and made it the program’s bedrock. That feat still seems absurd considering the program’s woeful history of defense."
Searching on the outside, 6 months to a year from now, looking to land a Division II star coach, or a top notch coordinator from a successful program, would not guarantee anything different than what we had in place now. In place. . . .
Important when you have a fan base weary and frustrated from waiting.
