Murray Warmath’s First Year Compared To Bernie Bierman and PJ Fleck
MurrayPreviously I have pulled up records of all Minnesota coaches in their first year and compared Bernie Bierman’s first game in 1932 to Fleck’s. Now that PJ is 2-0 he is the first Gopher coach since Murray Warmath started 4-0 in 1954. Other than the hot start, how did 1954 turn out?
1954 scheduleA record of 7-2 was good enough for 4th place in 1954. Not too shabby, but I’m sure there were, the 1954 equivalent of internet, commentors pissed that the two losses came against Michigan and Wisconsin.
How did the yearbook committee feel about 1954 season? Like I don’t have the answer...
