As an alum and local school administrator, I'll let you know that there are school visits set up with the UND Campus. They do reach out and many admins and school counselors set them up. We have one scheduled next week with our Jr's and Sr's. The FB coaches stop by almost every school in the state during the course of the year to "check in" and talk to alumni and coaches about players. Haven't seen any basketball coaches in my years of being an administrator.

I've listened to the whole "inbreeding" comments from you and others over a long time and I'll add my two cents, take it for what it's worth. When you take a job, do you hope for a promotion to a better position within that job? If you start as a cashier, do you not hope and work hard enough to earn a promotion? Why should coaching be any different? If you get hired as a graduate assistant, wouldn't you hope to work hard enough to be hired as a full time coach? Goodness sake, in your world no one moves up the ladder of success, especially if you're from within the program. Think you need to change your tag line - you sir are not a "fan". I get that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but yours doesn't change. If not happy, move on. Again, my two cents and it may not be worth it..... or help the cause...

If your name is Coach Prime it is.....

Not sure if this was posted already or not, but makes my head hurt. https://406mtsports.com/college/big-sky-conference/university-of-montana/what-montana-schools-bid-to-host-fcs-playoff-games/article_887f688a-70ff-11ed-ab83-afd8001716aa.html?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_406_Sports&fbclid=IwAR398sTXgXJCz_D1euW8YJbzLF-21kSA3QTHnNS_spgRlEGUf9Ged4zgHGo

Was a conservative approach this spring. Talked to many, including Trainers who were glad it was "toned" down. Half of the O-Line were in shorts and jerseys and were banged up. Didn't do any real "live" hitting as stated as being cautious avoiding injuries and staying healthy. Work on fundamentals and get better and stay/get healthy. Tommy looked alright, Feeney looked better. Feeney has more zip on his ball (from what I noticed) and was willing to take a chance at some throws. Wr's looked good, RB's did fine and made some nice plays. DL looked a bit under sized, but they were quick to the ball. As far as facility, I believe there were prospective recruits there as they had name badges at check in for high school kids. Showcase your facility! Also, did a games and autograph session with little kids (good PR move) and it is much easier to access field in there versus the Alerus.

No offense taken, I was responding more to jdub asking why there was outrage. I don't care what he makes (within reason) as long as he is doing his job. I was just pointing something out after a small discussion on Chaves and his leadership (or lack thereof) in regards to football (depending on your take).

No outrage about salary, was just following up on some older posts about lack of involvement by AD with Football.

Don't remember where the conversation was about the current AD (Chaves), but saw yesterday that they signed him to a 4 year extension, through spring of 2026. Base salary of $221,150.

We are on, but no sound?

How about: Blair or Joe Sabrina, Jill, or Kelly

I thought Bubba handled it well. Promoted the next kid in line as was excited for that kids opportunity. No mention of the "ones name who we shall not name".

The group I listed were late 80's - early 90's. We have had some good ones in the past, and hope that we have some good ones in the future as Canada has many players that can play! I do not like this transfer portal and especially do not like athletes quitting on their team during the season (yes I know it is spring, but still). I would assume that the scholarship is over immediately?

Lorin McCasin, Neville Scarlett, Kevin Robson, Paul Sedin, Tim Prinsen, Dallas Rysaavy, Darcy Dahlem- all from canada and stuck it out.

Could you take an offensive lineman and insert him at Nose? Probably... Would it be successful? it could... But from experience, I will say that they are two different mindsets, and two distinctly different skill sets. Our nose position is the only position on the D-line that has two gap responsibility. They are also involved with many different games/twists on the line. Taking someone and giving them 3 practices at the nose position before a game may make them somewhat serviceable, but I'm not overly sure they would be effective.
