[QUOTE="BilldGopher, post: 654973, member: 4315"] Short answer is a big "yes." Foundation for this was laid in Gophers psyche when Lou Holtz was HC in the mid-80s for two seasons and then bolted for Notre Dame. Next opportunity was early success of Glen Mason in late '90s...who flirted with his alma mater Ohio State. To both Coach Fleck's and the AD's credit they signed a new 7-year contract for an extra $1 million per year on Tuesday. Till this it was a "rolling" 5-year deal with a new year and a $$ bump added each season. Although the new deal is fantastic...and killed the bolting speculation, the devil's in the details. Year 1 buyout is $10 million...which should keep everyone except the Bama's or Nike-scale money away...but the 2nd year buyout is $4.5 million and so on. So we figure we've got Coach for 2020 and we'll be here again next year. Which is fine. One more thought on this in a GT context. Coach Fleck has consistently stated he really likes it in the Twin Cities and the University of Minnesota being an urban campus. He lives on Minnesota's equivalent of Lake Lanier but only 20 minutes from downtown. Collins too appears to really like being in Hotlanta and recognizes what an urban campus can offer. Both appear to want to be where they are. The market for a successful coach is nuts but it is what it is. Tech seems to be in a similar place on this. [/QUOTE]
