The University of Minnesota has supposedly dismissed menas baseball coach Tubby Smith after six seasons with the staff, based on Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports. Johnson went 124-81 during his time with the Golden Gophers, but light emitting diode the team to a subpar 46-62 report against the Big Ten and just reached the NCAA tournament three of his six months (two first-round deficits in '09 and 2010 and a third-round loss this year). It had been that annual abuse from the Big Ten rivals and many Minnesota fans that were caused by the lack of NCAA tournament success to call for changes on the coaching staff (h/t Sid Hartman of the Minnesota Star Tribune). Whether it was a good choice for future years of this system or not, Golden Gopher nation has received the change it wanted. Smith was chosen in 2007 after spending the past decade as the head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats. The 61-year-old coach won the national championship in 1998 after taking over for legendary college coach Rick Pitino, but never were able to repeat his task. The allure of choosing Smith and his national name brought high expectations to the Golden Gophers program, but another early reduction in the competition this season (a beatdown from the Florida Gators in the round of 32) has caused the college to create the move it feels is better for the menas hockey team. The important problem now will undoubtedly be which coach the college tries to engage now that the head coaching job is vacant. Goodman claims that Minnesota will try to provoke VCU mind instructor Shaka Smart to the team. From those things of the Golden Gophersa running division, the school is intent on creating a real effect in college basketball moving forward. That meant moving forward from Smith first, although.
