Minnesota Golden Gophers head coach Tubby Smith said Monday he plans on returning next season.
The 2012 NCAA Tournament bracket doesn't include the Minnesota Golden Gophers, extending the time period since March Madness really applied to Minnesota.
The Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball season ended up a lot more disappointing than most had hoped going into the season. While it can't all be blamed on Tubby Smith, some have started to wonder whether the team's head coach should be fired.
Last week, Tubby Smith said he was staying in Minnesota. But that was a whole week ago.
The rumors are flying about Tubby Smith possibly leaving Minnesota.
The hope of a new beginning, like Christmas morning, leads fans to crave coaching changes. Most often, though, these changes don't work out for the best - at least not to the degree fans had hoped.
