Another twist has surfaced in the Darren Mueller-to-Minnesota story. It appears the University of Wisconsin has entered the picture for the NDSU head softball coach and has interviewed him for its vacancy.

Mueller isn’t returning phone calls, hasn’t for over a week, and the delay is puzzling. The Gophers wanted to make a decision over a week ago and nothing has happened. It makes you wonder: If U of M was rock solid in its decision to want Mueller, why wait? Maybe this Wisconsin scenario is part of it.

Anyway, has to be sleepless nights for Mueller. It’s a life-changing decision and something will be resolved in the next few days, you would think.

Wisconsin earlier this month filled it, only to see the Creighton head coach change his mind and remain in Omaha. I’m guessing the NDSU coach would want to investigate his reason before accepting anything.
