Minnesota administration were ecstatic when they signed him before the win. They believed in his process and loved the excited fan base.
He was on the Florida State short list which prompted the very quik contract negotiations and approval by the Minnesota board of trustees.

Contracts have not stopped PJ from jumping ship before, but FSU is a dumpster fire right now. Also FSU is looking for a miracle coach that will win right away. That’s not PJ. He needed time at Western Michigan, needed time at Minnesota. Would definitely need time if he were to take the FSU job.

Big difference between wmu , minnesota and florida state.

If he went to FSU, they would be title contenders in 2-3 years

FSU made a huge mistake firing Willie T. The big money donors at FSU thought the empty cupboard left by Jimbo would be cured in one year.
Now they will be stuck with a retread paid a ton of money pushing the program farther down.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update: Peculiar odds on Minnesota and NIU !!??

Iowa is -3 or favored to win by 3 points, despite Being 19 places below in the CBSS rankings?

Toledo more surprisingly is favored to win by only 2.5 points against our beloved NIU, despite being 6-3 versus NIU 3-6 and 49 places ahead of Us in the CBSS ratings??

Can anybody explain ?

PJ Fleck on the Iowa matchup.

I think that Minnesota can beat Iowa and is potentially a great bet at -3 underdog.

Why is there nothing on youtube regarding NIU vs Toledo 2019?

No shortage of videos on Minnesota football.

I'm really surprised because I think the majority of the country would be much more interested in NIU vs. Toledo 2019 than Minnesota football.

C'mon, country! Let's get with it!!

Ofcourse the B1G ranked teams combined with an undefeated Cindy story is much more news worthy.

Why there nothing on NIU football?
Is the sports marketing department busy recruiting or preparing for the Toledo game with no time to put anything out for the NIU fans?

They are simply too busy working on Mark Montgomery's next extension (while keeping it a secret for months).

Good answer.

So if the bookmakers believe that NIU has a better chance of upsetting Toledo, then Minnesota has of upsetting Iowa, why are the fans so down?

And why hasn't the sports department capitalized on it?

I thought the spread was weird too. I figured it would be between 8 - 10...if Vegas thinks it is basically even on a neutral does not bode well on our record..and recent performance...

Agree with the first statement.
About not boding well, I am not sure that I understand?

If Vegas is more positive than this board, maybe they know something that we do not?

Congratulations NIU on winning the greatest non-rivalry game in college football.
A win over Toledo is one of many measures applied to an NIU FB Coach.

Jerry Kill 3-1
Dave Doeren 2-0
Rod Carey 4-2
Thomas Hammock 1-0

This season is better than 2007 in three ways so far.
More wins overall, More MAC wins and beating Toledo.

Next goal avoid the first losing MAC season since 2007.
We are 3-3 conference.

Congratulations Thomas Hammock on beating Toledo.

6:30pm Saturday Louisiana is only 4 point favorite. This is a better than 75% chance that they will easily cover the spread. Good news for gamblers? or do the bookmakers know something??

Six good Reasons why Louisville(L) should easily cover the spread against Dave Doeren NC State team.


1)NC State has lost their last 3 conference games by over 3 TD’s.

2)They are really banged up because of injuries. Both Louisville #4/7 (5-4, 3-3 ACC) and NC State Wolfpack #6/7 (4-5, 1-4) are the Atlantic division of the ACC.

3)Conference opponents with conference record also show a clear overwhelming advantage for Louisville.
A) Clemson Tigers 7-0 L: 10-45 (Away) NC 10-55 (Home) Louisville > 10 points despite away game!!
B)Wake Forest Demon Deacons 3-2 L: 59-62 (Away) NC 10-44 Louisville did better by 31 points!!!
C) Florida State Seminoles 4-4 L24-35 (Away) vs NC 13-31 (Away) Louisville did better by 7points!
D)Boston College Eagles 3-4 L: won 41-39 (home) NC: lost 24-45 Away Louisville > by 22 points!!!
E)Syracuse Orange 0-5 L: Still to play NC: Home only conference win 16-10
F) Virginia 5-2 L: won home game 28-21
G) Miami 4-3 L : lost way game 27-52
Clearly Louisville has a much better conference record then NC State by far. Syracuse having lost all conference games , will likely lose to Louisville by several TD’s. They lost to BC my 31 points, who Louisville defeated by 2 points.

4)Their 25 point way loss to Miami should serve as a wake-up call, despite Miami having a winning conference record.

5a) Louisville have scored 24-62 points against Away conference teams

5b)NC State have only scored 10 points and 16 points at home versus conference teams.

Does anyone see NC State putting on more than 16 points against Louisville?

Does anyone see Louisville scoring < 24 points against a battered NC State defense?

6) NC State’s best chance of getting 6 wins will come against Georgia Tec 1-5 and NC University 3-4. With all their injuries they would do well to try limit injuries and focus their attention on the last two games against much weaker teams in order to get six wins to be Bowl eligible.

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed this game very much.

I thought that I posted the question before the 2019:NIU vs Toledo game?

11:00 am #44 Temple 6-3 vs # 39 Tulane 6-3. Tulane favorite 6
3:00 pm #5 Minnesota 9-0 plays at #24 Iowa 6-3. Iowa favorite by 3
6:30pm #89 NC State 4-5 vs #45 Louisville 6-3.Louisville favorite by only 4!

My picks
Temple might upset Tulane
Minnesota likely to upset Iowa!
Louisville very very likely to beat NC State

Temple 10- Tulane 0 2nd Q 11:23 minutes remaining.
