Klieman to Minnesota?

Re: Klieman to Minnesota?

Any word on the rumors with Oguntodu or where he is interviewing?

Sounds like everywhere. Rumor is he will be the special teams coach at Dike-New Hartford.

A budget for a special teams coach?! So jealous.

Re: Klieman to Minnesota?

Our old pal Jeremiah Davis just retweeted this from Denzel Fondungallah: "I was told by members of the coaching staff that my scholarship was no longer available, the head coach has called me and said he did NOT pull the offer, and that his assistants and coaches have been feeding me false information and my scholarship still stands. With all the craziness that has happened in the last hour, I am still not committed to UNI and my recruitment is still open."

Not good optics

So, despite the fact that Farley confirmed the offer, he is still keeping his recruitment open. Sounds like some assistant coaches may have tried to do some damage on the way out. Why do I think we haven't heard the end of this on social media from some of the primary people involved?

Process of elimination points to Barkema, the one that picked up a DUI last year, was suspended and then fired.

Reasoning:
Salmon is UNI. I can't imagine him doing anything remotely like this.
Mahaffey has been gone a month to WKU. He is a UNI alum. It doesn't make sense.
Klein I don't know anything about really, I guess it's possible?
Danielson is still on staff
That leaves just Barkema. The fired offensive assistant assistant.

I guess it may have come from the defensive side, but Paup seems to like Farley, and based on Minnesota's recruiting he doesn't fit there. Lynch going to ECU would seem to take him away from a Minnesota recruit, though he was the lead recruiter, it just seems odd.


To me it seems like a Barkema deal

Even when he originally "committed", he publicly said he was keeping his recruitment open. So not surprised by that.

Not blaming the kid...Just noting he'd never completely closed the door on recruiting so not surprised he's holding his ground after this episode.

We all need to be careful here. Can't start rumors about a certain coaches bad behavior with no evidence.

Agree that coaches who have already publicly taken other jobs seem unlikely to be involved. The kid could easily pull up a Twitter site and see the guy was no longer on staff.

But beyond that...Who knows. Don't want to wrongfully pin this on someone.

Dangerous game for an outgoing coach to play. Would you hire a guy who pulled this at their last job?

Well-stated. I fear that this is going to turn really bad for one of our former coaches. Acts of revenge typically escalate problems rather than solving them.

I heard Aaron Bailey is the new OC.

I'm expecting a comment from Trump in about 4 hours.

Re: Klieman to Minnesota?

In other news, I heard T.C. will be taking over special teams coaching and T.K. will be our TE coach. Since you know, both never got any love. Might as well hire from within.

Re: Klieman to Minnesota?

Assuming Farley is on the phone today with every other commit...Not knowing who else might have been contacted by the rogue ex-coach.

Those have to be fun calls to make. "Hey...If anyone calls and says your offer has changed...Don't believe it unless you talk to me.". Dead silence on the line. Uh...What?

It's been a weird year...expect anything less?

Just need to flush it out and start over...start winning close games.

Carnes as QB coach also.
