Too bad they probably won’t release finalists this time. Then we could create a poll

Rastas battled but almost felt bad for him. Not sure if he even started again after his fr year

How accurate is Kelly here? I suppose it’s all speculation at this point…

Yes, you are correct, forgot about that.

So once Mussman’s guys were all gone and it was all new recruits we regressed?

The first half of the Weber State playoff game was the worst half of defense I had ever witnessed in my life. But then I watched the Sac State game, and that was even worse. Even if our defense were slightly below average instead of awful Bubba probably has 3 or 4 playoff wins.

Absolutely. Worst case scenario for me in this process is if nothing changes on the defensive side of the ball. If anyone on that side is retained I will be very disappointed.

Fire everyone!

I already have the feeling they screwed this up and they haven’t even hired anybody yet.

The way they announced it was weird. It sounds like a lot of people think that it is more of a long term thing. My mind went there right away before I read the press release

NDSU players and former players did this with Roehl. In their case, I believe they made the correct decision to hire Polasek. As for UND, I would prefer them not to hire Fruechte. If they do, he better not retain anyone on the defensive staff and start over on that side.

I looked back at a poll in 2014, at it was slightly in favor in DeBoer. We definitely know what we are talking about

He would meet the minimum but not all of the preferred I believe

It was definitely time for him to be done and has been for a couple of years, but Bubba had me in tears here. You can tell how much he loves this university and the effort he put in. I wanted him to be successful so bad.

Kelly seems to think they are getting a lot of interest.

Was there an interim coach when Muss was fired?

Does Fruechte have the connections to replace the current defensive staff? If for whatever reason the interim tag is removed and he is the guy his first decision needs to be to clean house on that side.

There are still doing a national search it appears. From the UND press release:

I bet we could be pretty good offensively right away with him, especially if he can retain a couple current players and with the portal likely being more flooded than usual. With his connections, might be able to put together a solid defensive staff.

I personally wouldn’t even consider him

Nope. NDSU made the right decision with Polasek

You think Schmidt got the offer to go to Bama? If he did I imagine he wished he took it

If no one on the defensive staff returned, I would be intrigued
