[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1193114, member: 527609"] The thing about Tubby's tenure at Minnesota was that when you look at his record, it looks like just plodding, consistent okayness, when in the moment they constantly seemed just on the verge of becoming much better than that, only to always have something go wrong. It was a stupid, stupid firing, but I can understand why their fanbase was frustrated. It's not like they invented higher short-term expectations out of whole cloth. They were ranked in 4 of Tubby's 6 years and never finished above .500 in the Big Ten. The fact that his seasons all had such a distinct Glen Mason-like quality to them couldn't have helped either.
