I would think that Grabowski is mostly likely to stay. However, if the new coach wants to continue to have a foreign connection, Mihailovic may be retained.
That said, if the new coach doesn't have any UND ties, I wouldn't be surprised to see him bring in an all-new staff.
UND's Elite camps this summer are on June 20 and July 20. We may or may not get any commitments after the first camp (kids are still looking) but we usually see a handful of commitments right after the July camp.
I absolutely agree that the BB budget needs to be increased and that our assistants have been under paid but please consider the other reasons an assistant may choose to leave for another job!!!
IMHO, there are only 3-4 players from next year's likely roster that we can't afford to lose! Obviously, we can't lose 5-6 players or we would have a real numbers issue.
If Randall hasn't done so, he is in the process of applying. UND has been very pleased with the quantity and especially the quality of coaches who have expressed interest so far.....
The coaches are staying busy....
QB Abraham Hoskins, 6'2”, 175, Omaha (Central), NE Has offer from SDSU
WR Wyatt Schroeder, 6'5”, 220, 4.8, St. Francis (St. Francis), MN Has offers from SDSU, Buffalo, Jax St & UNI
I thought your Jacks attendance must be low and found the below stats. Not trying to point out that your numbers were wrong - I was more wrong, I would have thought they would be in the 4,000 range!

I certainly hope Herbst gets full consideration. He works his rear off, is an excellent recruiter and still "bleeds green"! I am not saying he is the best man for the job but he deserves consideration!
A couple more offers that I was not aware of (not sure how recent they are):
OG Yahya Black, 6'5“, 250, Marshall (Marshall), MN Has offers from UM, SDSU, Buffalo, KSU & USD
OT Mason Miller, 6'8”, 240, Ada (Ada-Borup), MN Has offer from NDSU
