If you think he’s got it under control, you need to get your head out of your Gragg.Nothing to worry about. Gragg has it under control.
Collins talks with a lot of pride about this program … I think he wants to build it like Coach K built Duke, but obviously minus the relaxed academic standards.And just where would he go? The Duke job is taken. NBA? I don't think so. He's a college coach already in a Power5 job. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it's not high on my list of worries right now,
The guy that needs to do that is Jacob Schmidt, and he would need a ton of cash to make it happen.he can talk Matt and Ty into returning for their final year -
I don’t think they will need a lot of convincing, NIL or otherwise. I would be shocked if both guys didn’t return.The guy that needs to do that is Jacob Schmidt, and he would need a ton of cash to make it happen.
Yeah, I thought maybe we'd get a call even in the BTT.When I saw this thread title, I thought it had something to do with referees. Like maybe in the NCAAs the refs will like him more than those in the Big 10 do?
Start will expelling the guy who seemed more interested in shaking Kendall Gill’s hand than Chris Lowery’s.Don’t blow off the worry about CCC talking to suitors. NIL / portal is a new world & he needs to feel like he has the $$$$ to compete. Not for himself but for his guys. I hate the new normal but it exists. We need to give him ZERO reason to consider looking elsewhere.

He would love to have the academic standards of DukeCollins talks with a lot of pride about this program … I think he wants to build it like Coach K built Duke, but obviously minus the relaxed academic standards.
Gotta have the straw that stirs the drink to have that special team.Anything can happen, but I get the same sense. Collins wants to establish a dynasty. If his underclassmen all return and he can talk Matt and Ty into returning for their final year - and they fully recover from their injuries, this could be a special team again next year.
Maybe he can put Gragg on the hot seatCollins gets paid a lot of money to coach in basically his hometown with a new, rockin' arena and low fan expectations. He's also got school-aged kids. I really only see him leaving if he feels like he's hit a ceiling at NU (ie - making the tournament every year but NIL/admissions are preventing us from making a Sweet 16 or later run). Or I guess if Gragg is stupid enough to put him on the hot seat for not making a Sweet 16.
Nicholson is not a quitter so I would guess if Collins wants him back he will be back. Of course as of yet, he is not even telling his family. Not as sure about BerryI don’t think they will need a lot of convincing, NIL or otherwise. I would be shocked if both guys didn’t return.

If enough people complainMaybe he can put Gragg on the hot seat

Let me guess: this is another shot at Dr. Gragg.Who??
Yep, you are correct. At least I am not starting dumb threads about intentionally losing games.Let me guess: this is another shot at Dr. Gragg.
He could end both wars in Ukraine & Gaza - and PPD would still call for his ouster.
I never said we should intentionally lose anything.Yep, you are correct. At least I am not starting dumb threads about intentionally losing games.
That’s because he’s been a trainwreck. He only has himself to blameLet me guess: this is another shot at Dr. Gragg.

Any blue blood program that has an opening could come after him.And just where would he go? The Duke job is taken. NBA? I don't think so. He's a college coach already in a Power5 job. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it's not high on my list of worries right now,
How has he been a train wreck aside from the baseball fiasco?That’s because he’s been a trainwreck. He only has himself to blame
Good Lord. You are taking your troll act to a new level today.How has he been a train wreck aside from the baseball fiasco?
Except for that issue, he’s done a solid job.
If you look at it objectively, Dr. Gragg did a great job the last two years.Good Lord. You are taking your troll act to a new level today.
Dude, please stop,If you look at it objectively, Dr. Gragg did a great job the last two years.
Apologies to @lunker35 , but most fanbases will turn a blind eye to the baseball program if the two revenue sports are crushing it. Which they have since Schill fired Fitz and Gragg threatened to fire CCC.
If you or anyone thinks you can turn around developmental programs like NU football and basketball in one year with one firing or one talk, then you are resoundingly incorrect.If you look at it objectively, Dr. Gragg did a great job the last two years.

I assume this was Gragg. And any IL person would be thrilled to have Gragg at NU because JP made them look foolish and did circles around them.Who??
Then how did he do it?If you or anyone thinks you can turn around developmental programs like NU football and basketball in one year with one firing or one talk, then you are resoundingly incorrect.
I’m still waiting for anyone to fully prove that Gragg has deserved the heat he’s gotten on the board. I kind of feel sorry for him.Dude, please stop,
Gragg didn’t do it, dude. Get it?Then how did he do it?
He replaced a football coach who deserved to be fired with a hungry young coach who led us to our biggest comeback in history and an unexpected Vegas bowl victory. Fitz probably would have gone 4-8 and been quite proud.
He also put CCC on overdue notice, and pressure turned that coal into a diamond.
Gragg has done a solid job. Most fans are just angry at him because Schill correctly fired Fitz.
He didn’t fire Fitz, although he should have after 1-11.Gragg didn’t do it, dude. Get it?
You don’t get the point. Please re-read what I said and try to respond to the point. His impact on basketball and football is zilch - he did not alter the outcomes.He didn’t fire Fitz, although he should have after 1-11.
He did a solid-to-good job on everything except for the baseball catastrophe. The last time I checked, Pat Ryan kept cutting the checks to build the stadium. Things are fine with Dr. Gragg at the helm.
Gragg made the call to hire Braun as the interim and then accelerated the process to hire him as our fulltime head coach. He empowered Braun to do what needed to be done.You don’t get the point. Please re-read what I said and try to respond to the point. His impact on basketball and football is zilch - he did not alter the outcomes.
(BTW - his baseball travesty is a fireable offense in and of itself).
