To be fair, these facilities are just getting finished. Also, other than DBs coach the whole defensive staff is getting replaced which had been our biggest issue. Still worried about the QB position and WR room, but I think WR will continue to get addressed in the portal.

I like both. I do think they need to fix the calendar for the portal and try to regulate NIL more though.

Even with 4 team playoff there was blowouts.

Is this their radio guy? He is awful

Yep. “Cheer for the state of North Dakota.” No thanks…

And then they kneel it anyway?

I’m hoping this isn’t the case. There’s so much to worry about as a college HC that I would prefer he not be calling the defense.

When will rest of coaching staff be announced?

I would still like them to get another WR in the portal. This is definitely a good start though.

Mayville will end up alright this year, still have 3 solid players. Dakota State or any top NAIA team easily beats this UND team IMO. Mayvile State roster is all ND and MN. Dakota State roster is basically all the surrounding Midwest states.

So everyone but King retained on offense and Stepps only one retained on defense? I wonder if King will join Freund at SDSU now.

I’m guessing we will hear coaching staff announcements starting to come in this week and next. I’m excited to hear who he will be bringing in.

Will never forget the game against SU in the Betty when he put Brady D at PG and thought that would work

The portal is flooded even more than usual. I wonder if we can get some FCS to FCS transfers that thought they could move up but can’t. We just offered a WR from NAU as well.

300 lb DT with 4 years of eligibility. Love it

Sather is only extended through 25-26 correct? Not sure how common lame duck coaches are in CBB but he would likely either be fired or given another 1 year extension after the season wouldn’t he?

Mayville not as good this year so we will win. Although, last years Mayville team would have had a good shot to win again.

Correct, he entered the portal last week

Winning 2 games as interim coach gets you the job!

I would imagine it would be a collaboration, with Schmidt having ultimate say.

I was a big fan of the Sather hire at the time. At some point though, he has to get it done. Like others have mentioned on here numerous times, what they are doing on offense sucks and it has to change. I have always loved UND football and basketball, and I’m finally optimistic about the future of the football program. I want to feel that way about the basketball team, but it’s been tough.

Even with no prior relationship, outside looking in it seems like they have similar personalities and mindset. Probably a good fit. Now I wonder about Olson and Kirkwood. Please retain no one on the defensive side
