Saw this with my other hometown team. The Gophers are one of the few teams that's almost as miserably bad as us, going 9-22 and 2-17 in conference. Their 2 best players are in the portal. This is the hard thing with the simplistic message board "it's the coach" vs "it's the talent". In reality, it's a big casserole that makes a team good or bad and it's hard to unfurl sometimes where the problem is, or the problem changes. Coaching decisions are like pornography, you know it when you see it, even if the "problem" seems to change. Johnson at MN probably has another season but it's odds are long with the turnover. Next year will be pretty decisive for Konkol. He needs to lay a strong foundation for year 3. If he's kind of starting over again after next year, it'll be tough.
