Everyone has there opinions about what has happened, is happening and will happen with Gopher football under Coach Fleck. But very few talk about all the ramifications that would have come from retaining Coach Claeys, such as:
1. What kind of recruiting class would Minnesota have had in 2017?
2. How long would it have taken for a new contract for Claeys and his assistants to have been negotiated/
3. Would Claeys have lost any of his assistants (e.g., his DC) this spring?
4. Was Claeys' OC hire only as good as you could expect for the low salary paid and Claey's uncertain future?
5. What kind of recruiting class for 2018 would Claeys have had at this point?
6. Who would have been available to "coach up" Minnesota's miserable receiving corp?
7. Who would have been responsible for developing quarterbacks?
8. Would Minnesota have still been a consensus pick to finish fifth in the Big 10 West and rank no higher than 50th in pre-season polls?
9. How many seasons tickets would have been sold for 2017 if Claeys has stayed?
10. How would the spring road trip around the state with the coaches have gone?
