Mark Coyle stood up in front of the Twin Cities media to talk about his decision to let Tracy Claeys go as the Gopher’s head football coach. He did make it clear that this was his decision that was made and he received the support of President Kaler and the Board leadership.
First question out of the gate was asking how Coach Claeys took this decision. Coyle said that Claeys took this professionally. Claeys was disappointed but he understood, according to Coyle.
Coyle appeared to be a bit worn from this decision and he did reiterate that this was a difficult decision that he made.
