I didn’t realize I had anything to gain from this. On to semantics?

I agree but it was strange to go from Schuster as the QB with Romfo packages, and Vaughn packages. Last year Quincy got his few short yardage chances but Jerry didn’t see the field unless we were up by 85 points and he still had to down the ball for fear he might look good. Half the coaching staff lost their jobs over the implosion.

Yes. Johnson will be QB1 unless he gets hurt. Last years offensive scheme will give him every chance to succeed. The time of possession offense is very friendly to the QB. With his athleticism he will run and scramble all over the bottom half the teams in the MVFC and look like Patrick Mahomes. Romfo at QB2 and a year more experienced. That’s the QB room unless they get hurt. This is a random preseason prediction.

They are but I’m done arguing. You obviously didn’t watch the Aztecs defense last year or a UND game last year. If UND brought in a D coordinator that would dramatically improve the outlook. I will say I was completely wrong on how successful Jake Landry was the past year so hopefully some good coaches emerge for UND if they are doing to improve.

Johnson will be QB1. Romfo QB2 with packages for Romfo in game 1 to keep in happy and fresh and ready if Johnson struggles or gets hurt.

There was plenty of opportunities to give him a chance but clearly the HC and OC made up their mind his spot was on the bench.

Last year QB1 could not lose his job so I guess we will see if this year is different. It was crazy to go from using to 2 or 3 QB on 3rd down etc., to using only one QB no matter how down hill the season went.

Offense coaching staff is mostly the same. Head coach will have his hands full with D. Hard to see much changing at QB unless injuries.

You are correct. I am not a coach for UND and I cannot guarantee any future events. Thanks for clarifying.

Johnson will be QB1 no matter what. Romfo will be QB2. Those two will battle with two different styles. Spring ball is meaningless to this team. Most decisions are made already. Don’t expect any starters or close to starters leaving. Expect a couple D transfers still coming in.

Haven’t heard anyone getting another coaching position yet. Some are staying here in GF which probably means not coaching unless on a local level.

Why does anyone go to NDSU and not Notre Dame? Why go to UND and not SDSU? Lots of factors go in to these decisions. Being back up QB at UND maybe doesn’t attract coaches like one may expect.

FBS

Does UND or any team often grab anyone from the MVFC?

Quincy was a great player and one of the greatest guys you will ever meet.

And yet it seems everyone says the Hawks season was game after game of offensive genius.

They matter.

Today once again proves quarterbacks don’t matter.

There is enough coaches in place so he can take his time and get it right. The DC had better be good or there will be little improvement overall.

Yes. Actually embarrassing for UND. Hawks really blew it this year. Recruiting is very important but the talent that went through the past few years points to a bigger problem that is likely taken care of now. Check out how Kilty and McNaboe and their teams did this year.

Watching SDSU and Montana St. reinforces that Bubba and Freuchte were correct and the QB simply does not matter.

Don’t forget the spring portal.

Catching up here…did anyone on here actually watch a game this past season?

Who’s that a reflection of as the season went on? It was so hard to watch games this year.

I think the OC is getting way too much credit. This was an awful season. Take away Murray State and I’m not sure the offense was top 80 in the country. Teams knew they could sit back on defense. Montana State actually got caught in that. Of course they bounce back from that loss quite well and make a playoff run. Add in some unexpected monster TD runs and stat padding on 5 yard passes for the spunky QB and having Belquist during the season and the offense was not where it could have been. Maybe I’m the only one that watched Youngstown game. That last play was legendary. But hey, there is a cool video in the “war room” on signing day.
