[QUOTE="BilldGopher, post: 538642, member: 4315"] Still lurking around and saw OP note from the Mods. For what it is worth this type of thing is common at open fansites when there's a significant change at the top...usually most intense for changes with the HC or AD. Consider the decade plus from CPJ as both a blessing and curse in this regard. You've been spared until now. For us the hiring of PJ Fleck was not only of a coach...but also a trademarked slogan a.k.a. "Row the Boat" that had to be bought from Western Michigan...and even a ESPN series "Knowing PJ Fleck" before the first ball was snapped. His "overboard" style and marketing every single minute is still ruffling fur up here and we're into year 3. For the "ruffled fur" crowd most have decided if we get performance on the field then they can stomach the rest. But we're still getting comparisons with the previous regime(s), and it does indeed get testy. What GT does have going for it is a very decisive move to replace the retiring HC by a new coach who obviously wants to head GT. No search committees or candidates saying "no"...been there, done that on both as a Gopher. Until you have more data all you can do is wait it out. When Coach Jerry Kill was hired to UM, that hire too was very controversial from the train-wreck he replaced (Tim Brewster). Some of us said "it is what it is" and came up with "In Kill We Trust" and that was our mantra. Right now that's been changed to "In Fleck We Trust" because fact is we as fans have no other choice. Again, good luck. No one comes to this site without passion for GT football. That's a great thing. [/QUOTE]
