Speculation or what you have heard?
Outside of this years meltdown what part is the dumpster fire? Facilities, conference, NIL?
perhaps some of the administration but stepping back does Bubba now having a voice in the department help that?
I wouldn’t go down that rabbit hole with anyone. Bubba is a non issue except for those who can’t let it go.
The fact is an FCS HC is a great stepping stone if you get the program turned around. The University, the campus and the new facilities are outstanding. If you are successful in the MVFC you can move up. UND admin is supportive.-

100% agree. I think the word on the street is that we have a dump fire going on with the program.
What street would that be?

You didn’t hear him say that. It’s a great opportunity for him to get that elusive HC block checked on his résumé’ at an FCS school positioned for success.

Young. High energy. Can relate to young athletes. Former professional athlete so knows what it takes to be successful and play at the highest level. Can recruit. Can motivate young men. Did well with not much this year (QB situation was on Bubba). Well liked by everyone.
He’s a star in the making imo. The exact type of HC I’d want to play for. All of that is going to help us get the type of recruits that the other Dakotas get. Just my thoughts
QB situation was Danny, then Freuchte and Bubba. Danny then Freuchte obviously didn’t see what some here have read about the other QB’s. I still can’t understand how we didn’t develop Feeney in the time he was here and that is more our OC’s.
Did you compare the incoming QB recruit with the NDSU recruit? There is a big difference.
I agree that he has all the makings of a star in the making for reasons you cited.

How much did Bubba micromanage the offense?
I don’t believe he did. Didn’t seem to be calling the plays. Mostly involved in decisions about going for it on 3rd or 4th down, fake punt, onside kicks etc. May suggest or veto a call but if you watch him on sidelines it didn’t look like he was calling plays.

I’m just confused about the Fruechte love. A year ago he was just an OC for Winona State. Comes here, does fine. Most fans are annoyed with the QB situation. Seems to be well liked by the players. I met him once and he was nice. But what has he done in that time where he is who we want as our next guy? Was the Adam Theilen tweet what pushed everyone over the edge? Theilen going to come be his OC?
Adam Thielen is still in the NFL.

With only three applicants (two that meet the criteria), what’s taking Chavez so long? Just flip a coin. Big thanks though to Schmidt & Tibesar for applying. How embarrassing that would have been if nobody applied!
I’m good with either! Go Hawks!
I believe it would be a mistake to think there were only 3 applicants. Did you learn that from this board?
Unless you personally heard that from Chaves, Armacost or a selection committee member I wouldn’t believe it.-

Is Schmidt clearly a better candidate than Roehl, and if so why?
Yes and so are Tibesar and Caruso (if he applied). The book on all of them has “more chapters”. He has nothing on Schmidt or Tibesar.

Resume isn’t the best imo
Then you haven’t reviewed it.
All-American whose teams won 3 Conference titles, 3 playoff berths and a national championship. He has coached at the D2, FCS, and FBS levels including Big 10 and PAC 12. Has been a DC at multiple levels. He has coached in the NFL and CFL. Extremely bright and an excellent recruiter.
Schmidt’s resume and reputation is also impressive. They are both excellent candidates. Hopefully they interviewed well. If there is another candidate who has similar qualities and experience and convinced the decision makers he is the best choice to lead UND back to a National Championship that’s who they should hire.

Hearing Tibesar is also in the mix.
He is. I’m surprised he was mostly ignored on this forum but he has been in the mix from the beginning.

It can. So can a 4-3, a 3-4 and a 3-3-5 depending on the opponent and down and distance. None of them will work if you don’t have the talent to plug in to those spots though.

Chaves historically hires D2 head coach, going back to Beau Baldwin at EWU and most recently Paul Sather at UND.
I’d guess it will be a Midwest D2 coach or the lazy (and risky) move of Fruechte being promoted.Hoffner beat Bolte today, maybe Hoffner?
From the very beginning (see my earlier posts), Schmidt has been the favorite. Too much fraternity support and now fundraising. It’s basically a hiring similar to Bubba - UND ties and is familiar to alumni. Justification used is it is “DeBoer’s guy” , although he’s not working for him anymore and cut ties … UND going with Schmidt could work, but could be mediocrity like with Bubba. We will see.
Schmidt hasn’t cut ties to DeBoer. They still communicate and DeBoer said he is welcome to join him in Alabama.
If FB Alumni were organized and “now fundraising “ I would know. That isn’t to say there aren’t FB alumni pushing for him to get the job, but probably just as many pushing for Tibesar.

Wouldn’t Karl have been in on the goalie?

Good call out but was making >$800k at last gig in Indiana
He gets $815,000 from Indiana through the end of 2025. Those buyouts usually are reduced by any amount the guy gets with a new job. I don’t think he would come to FCS program, but there have been rumors, and it would give him a chance to get back into coaching with a HC position. His Temple job and Indiana OC jobs didn’t work out. He could use a “reboot”.

Isn’t Wisconsin struggling this year? How did #1 Michigan State do against them last night?
I haven’t read anything from fans that the coaching staff hasn’t noticed, been discussing with team captains, and trying to solve. At some point in time, changes are made cuz nothing is working. We aren’t there yet.
For those “in the know”, how did we lose the Slukynsky brothers to Western Michigan? Losing guys like that is a bigger red flag in my mind than struggling against Miami, Bemidji, Bob Morris before Christmas. Did we recruit them? Did we offer them. I’m no expert but they were 2 of the best HS prospects I have seen in a long time.
I know we will lose guys to Duluth cuz of location and they have been good, and to Denver, and the other perennial powers. Does anyone know the story on these guys?-

I think it depends on the source. If you get info from a reliable inside source, you let them share it if they wish. Most of them will share only with trusted contacts and allow the University the privilege of informing players first, then the public.
