Not discrediting. Just disagreeing with "better resume." Both been head coaches once. "more year of success" basically because DeBoer is younger? He will continue to have "successful experience" as he gets older. All things consider they are equals right now. One coaches offense one coaches defense on the same team. And in conference play DeBoers offense ranks higher than Bubbas defense. One wrote "coach of the year" on his resume. One wrote "coach of the conference." One coach wrote "beat opponent from a higher classification on the road." The other had to leave off he lost to a lower classification team at home.

.....Every head coach started as an assistant somewhere. And lots of good coaches move up divisions (Craig bohl, Brian Kelly). If only we all had a crystal ball.

It's really hard to gauge how good a head coach would be based on being assistants or coordinators. It's more of a gamble so, My #1 criteria for hiring a head coach is proven good/great head coaching experience (see Dean Blais coaching high school when hired at UND) regardless of level.

Can I ask the specifics? I'm guessing cause he led great UND defenses when he was here? Mussman led great UND offenses too. Or do we give both those credits to Lennon? But DeBoer led great teams over numerous years (regardless of division) I would think people would say that's more impressive. If anything i would say its a wash.

You were criticizing the final two. Because of the travesty of a "national search". who's your favorite of who applied?

Can't happen because based on "resume" DeBoers is better. Better offense than bubbas d at Sui and a better head coaching resume. Only difference is DeBoer didn't stop to be an assistant at a D2 school like bubba. His career path is moving on an upward path faster.

Faisons never said anything about his "vast network." What did you want him to say a "Regional Search"? You are really nitpicking small s**t. It's always easy to say "No" to someone. Who should have Brian Faison hired of who applied? I will easily find faults with that guy too.

Can you really have it both ways? If DeBoer didn't embarrass UND he wouldn't have been considered. If Bubba wasn't at UND he wouldn't be considered. If there were ten applicants had better resumes than DeBoer, I wonder how many more applicants would have had better resumes than Bubba?

Gfhockey is the definition of vocal minority.

Yes. You realize Dean Blais was coaching HIGH SCHOOL hockey when he was hired at UND right?

Haha and the "Internet Rumor" came from one person....gfhockey.

Internet Rumors = SiouxSports. He reads this site.

If its DeBoer I'm glad Faison hired the guy most people here wanted more than Bubba.

I don't think anyone can follow bubba.

Disappointing start to the season

And in other news....We landed on the moon.

You basically said you don't want the better coach to be the coach?! I will take the better coach and hope he brings in a strong support staff to recruit.

Not everyone shares that opinion.

You gotta put yourself out on the market if you ever want a date.

The Lance Leipold not one person here voted for on the first "Preference for New Head Coach Poll"...the Lance Leipold someone said this... After I said this...

We say yes to playing at the highest level of basketball, but no to playing at the highest level of football...for the same reason people wanted to stay d2 "costs to much" "I'd rather compete for championships."

Crazy NDSU seems to be getting even better as the years go on even after reaching the top. "oh another football championship." #jealous

Yes the Herald Reporters said it.

One of those two people would be described as a team player.

Here is a long but good read with the GVSU AD about why they don't want to go Division One. And I quote... "There is another DII school that is reclassifying to DI and they will join a league in which the average distance it will have to travel to its new conference competitors will be 930 miles." Is he talking about UND? http://www.gvsulakers.com/links/qatimselgo.html
