H&H Podcast: Vikings’ turnaround, Wolves warning signs & Flores head coach debate
In this week’s episode of the H & H Podcast, Ahmad Hicks and Henry Lake break down the current state of the Minnesota Timberwolves following a stretch of big wins mixed with some tough losses. While acknowledging the positives, both hosts also point out key areas of concern that could impact the Wolves moving forward. On the gridiron, the Vikings are riding a season-high four-game winning streak and have an opportunity to close the year strong with a rivalry matchup. Hicks sees the turnaround as an encouraging sign for a team that struggled early, crediting the defense for leading the resurgence. Lake goes a step further, arguing that defensive coordinator Brian Flores has done enough to earn another head coaching opportunity. Hicks pushes back, questioning whether Flores’ ongoing lawsuit against the NFL could stand in the way of him leading a team. The Gophers football program added another bowl win under P.J. Fleck, but neither Hicks nor Lake were particularly impressed with the performance. Meanwhile, Minnesota’s basketball programs are gaining momentum—especially the women’s team, which sits at 10–3 on the season and is preparing for a challenging stretch against ranked opponents.
