That's what people say when they haven't been offered any jobs. He is still in town though, his daughter is play varsity as a freshman at Bloomington South

I know, but as someone who may or may not know him personally, I think there's some truth to it.

Minnesota should be able to keep players after this year due to the revenue sharing in the Big Ten. All teams will have 20 million to spend on basketball and football.
Well that would make things a lot harder on the king if other schools were on equal footing money wise. He only hot the roster he did due to his massive money advantage.

I'm aware of that. I'm just wondering if some of the assistants are significantly worse at their jobs than the others. I personally hope the assistant coaches and strength and conditioning coach follows Woodson out the door. It's funny how any question like the one I posted gets construed as some sort of defense of the Woodson.

I didn’t take it that way but I am sure the assistants that we currently have aren’t doing their jobs either, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!  If the Leader shows the way, others will follow.

You are probably correct but I also think there is some truth to coaches not wanting him on staff. He has a big personality that has to fit the right staff. 

For sure! I'm sure it's a little of both. Given the rumors of the reason for his departure here, assuming those are even marginally accurate, I would look at other options too

Cindy Simon Skjodt inherited all of her money and gets fleeced easily. Nothing like her brother who actually runs the operation. Glass took her for $40 million for the most expensive bathrooms since the Roman Empire. 
Yep pretty much what I thought as well. If you earned it you don't normally just hand over 6 million yo a failing coach. Quinn set the trap and she fell right into it

But she got her name on the building which is all she cared about.

What if struggling Gophers men’s basketball hadn’t lost key players because of NIL?

Minnesota, 0-5 in the Big Ten, goes into Monday’s game at Maryland still trying to replace those gone because of better “name, image and likeness” opportunities elsewhere.

They kept Garcia for half of what he could of gotten at other programs it says. I can't imagine anyone staying to play for Woodson for less money. He overpays just to get bodies

Reading this made me visualize Woody coaching at Minn next season. And it made me happy.

Yeah for now. The building may soon be named Woodson arena.Screenshot_20250113_154248_Chrome.jpg

I haven't called him any names but in my dealings with him as a player and as an assistant, he was the definition to me of a prick. But each their own. I don't speak about him much because I don't think he will ever have anything to do with the program again. 

So around about way of calling him a prick ;)

Brother... he choked a player..... he should have been fired, with cause, on the spot.

But there was a 0 tolerance policy that Brand put in place after the choking...he knew Knight couldn't live up to it.  So back to being Brand's fault LOL.

So was knight but as long as he won people didn't care. Roy Williams is a slimeball who cheated but they didn't care. He won.
