Fleck - for obvious reasons
Some of the potential dislike I might have had for Fleck is tempered by the fact that Bielema has never lost to him, and we have owned him since he got here, lol.
I would put them like this:
LEGITIMATELY DISLIKE
- Luke Fickell (WISC) ... that bush league BS last year will not be forgotten.
- Ryan Walters (PUR) ... seemed to have handled moving on to a bigger opportunity with an almost bewilderingly classless and petty attitude that seemed to come out of nowhere.
KIND OF DISLIKE
- Curt Cignetti (IND) ... respect what he's doing but seems arrogant.
- PJ Fleck (MINN) ... insufferable dork, sure, but he's been our punching bag and taken it surprisingly well, lol.
- David Braun (NU) ... mostly just for keeping us out of a bowl last year, haha.
DEFAULT TO DISLIKE BECAUSE COMPETITOR
- Dan Lanning (ORE) ... didn't help he just embarrassed us, but I don't know that much about him, and he's obviously a great coach.
- James Franklin (PSU) ... dorkiness is good for laughs and no REAL reason to dislike him, plus I have a soft spot for how they jus CANNOT get over the hump of the Michigan/OSU curse, lol.
- Sherrone Moore (MICH) ... don't know enough about him besides the meme of him crying; however, I assume a Harbaugh guy at Michigan is somewhat of a tool.
- Lincoln Riley (USC) ... seems inoffensive overall, but his comment about making USC the "Mecca of College Football" is kind of funny now!
NEUTRAL
- Kirk Ferentz (IOWA) ... used to be "Kind of Like," but running up the score 63-0 was not cool.
- Jonathan Smith (MSU) ... know nothing about him.
- Jedd Fisch (WASH) ... also know nothing about him.
- DeShaun Foster (UCLA) ... know nothing about him besides the press conference.
KIND OF LIKE
- Matt Rhule (NEB) ... my good friend's wife interviewed him and said he's an awesome guy.
- Mike Locksley (UMD) ... will never dislike him, gave us some really fun memories after a dark stretch of futility.
- Greg Schiano (RUT) ... a living reminder of a time when college sports were set up much better.
In summary, there are really only two that I honestly dislike - Walters and Fickell. Of the two, at least Walters wore the orange and blue for a bit and helped lead a defense that was truly a joy to watch.
