their head coaching job. Imagine that, kind of a shocker but here it is from Minny AD Joel Maturi:
BS: I've heard you say that three times now. Did you truly say, "Barry, do you want to come here and coach the Gophers?"
JM: Yeah, I did.
BS: And his response?
JM: He said, "I like what I'm doing. And my days of coaching are done."
BS: So you were sincere when you asked?
JM: Well, I know Barry pretty well now.
BS: But it was a serious offer?
JM: Oh, yeah. Heck, yeah. I said, "If we could make this work."
