Yeah that's probably a better way to look at it. I guess another "point" for DeBoer vs Bubba? They are hiring based on a point scale after all?

Be a good book idea. Every roster and every game ever played. "the complete history of UND hockey."

SIU total offense ranked 58 vs total defense of 40 in FCS.

Yes.

I got 4 free tickets to this game if anyone wants them. I can't make it unfortunately. Send me a PM if interested. Edit: tickets taken.

I will say this this year bubbas defense was better than DeBoers offense at SIU.

Just pointing out facts and asking questions.

Where did I say I wanted fresh blood? I want the most qualified person regardless of where they are from. If that's UND so be it.

Isn't that the player guys here were saying was "pouting" on the sidelines? More Hardins less Jacksons?

D coordinator at two FBS teams, D coordinator for two Grey Cups Champions in Canada, now the Linebackers coach in the NFL. Sounds much better than a FCS D coordinator so yes. Sorta like Craig Bohl worked for NDSU then went FBS coordinator. Then got hired at NDSU. If UND was going to hire a D coordinator wouldn't it be more likely to get a FBS one than an FCS one? I'm just saying most people from the outside looking in without relation to where they went to school would probably pick DeBoer over Bubba.

That great track record sees 1 national championship while our competition/rival has what like 10 now, Carry on...

In hindsight UND could have just hired Bubba back in 2008.

When they get to Mankato or Duluth and see 2,000 fans vs 10,000 in the Alerus while UND is kicking ass and taking names theyll wonder why they ever left. You can't run from your problems. You build relationships with other players and sticking it out through the tough times will only make those stronger.

Would Bubba be Mussman 2.0?

If bubba gets the job we know that in the future you will have to have previously coached at UND to get the head job. I can't remember the last time the head coach had not previously coached at UND....1950s?

MafiaMan, if you don't get to the bottom of this...you'll never live it down at the hoggs brunch

Dean Blais was coaching High School Hockey when he was named UNDs head hockey coach. Can you imagine Faison naming a current high school football coach the head man of UND football right now?! Even if he had been an assistant coach at UND five years ago?

Brian Kelly (lost to Dale Lennon in d2 championship game) took Notre Dame to Championship game. Dale Lennon (lost to Brian Kelly in d2 championship game) might get fire from an FCS school. At that time both coaches seemed about "equal."

It's ok to jump from NAIA to D2 but not ok to jump to FCS? Would bubba to in the FCS now if it wasn't for his "UND Buddies"?

Bubba use to be a NAIA defensive coordinator too.

Gotta like a guy that likes coaching so much he puts out a product.

One think I've noticed in life is no matter how old you are people always think you're "young." College people are kids. Late twenties still kids. Thirties of your so youn still....apparently 40. Is when we all finally might "grow up."

Exactly. It's much easier to say no than to say be happy it might be someone that was on a lot of people's minds before the process started. I don't think Brian Jones was on anyone's short list before he was hired.

Besides Pflugrad, Who of the applicants is currently "lighting it up"?

How many championships in that free for all did Mary, Dickinson, Jamestown, Valley City, Minot, Mayville State win in the NAIA? 0. USF had only one in 1996...they wanted more. So they hired DeBoer and BOOM!!!
