George Ferguson said:When Northern's coach quit with three games to go, I wrote a column about who they should pursue as the next coach. I included Pflu in my "long shot" category, mainly based off that he did show interest in the Rocky job two years ago. Tonight, I was told as part of Pflu's settlement with U of M, he cannot apply for or be employed by Montana's university system again. Kind of puts to rest the posting about wishing Pflu could come back.
I hate the way he got screwed over. He is a great coach, and, like so many Griz fans, often wonder where we'd be right now, had that all not happened. Anyway, just thought I'd pass that along.
This is not true. Pflu did not agree to this. I talked to Pflu today to confirm and have read the settlement agreement. I sent a PM to GeorgeF. Whomever GeorgeF talked to was dead wrong or a liar.
