 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Gophers have blown some big leads in Glen Mason's 10 years as coach. The latest, and perhaps greatest collapse, was too much for athletics director Joel Maturi.
Maturi fired Mason on Sunday, two days after Texas Tech rallied from 31 points down in the third quarter to beat the Gophers in the Insight Bowl.
"It was a rocky season if you go back and look at each of the games," Maturi said. "When the season concluded in the manner that it did, I felt it was in the best long-term interests of Gopher football that we make a change."
