Do you know who else applied?

Generally I would look for examples of this working in the past but we are entering a new age of college athletics. Recruiting coordinators and roster managers are going to be as/maybe more important than coordinators. Head coaches aren’t going to be able to manage rosters and coach. This is a time and a different approach may be welcomed. Eventually promote one of your young defensive positions coaches to coordinator when ready.

While I don’t excuse him for leaving even with your last paragraph…..I think with the current state of college football if you have the opportunity to add talent you do it. It’s up to the kid to earn the respect back of his teammates. The look of a team from coaching staff to players will change so much from year to year now so holding a grudge isn’t worth it. People leave jobs and come back all the time.

3 1/2 week layoff hurt the Ducks. Timeline of the playoff needs to be reevaluated.

They call that targeting all regular season….and conference championship games. Just adds further murkiness to an already very judgement based call.

I didn’t see any crying from them when Danny grabbed a starting RT for them from UND on his way out the door.

I’ve seen Dan Jackson who was at Idaho St mentioned but media in Sioux Falls wouldn’t confirm. Is that what you are seeing?

lol……great take Dan

I’m not sure everyone that leaves goes to WSU. Some may get into the portal to see what other schools they can find. Just like us, how long they take to name a replacement will be key. You don’t want kids home for the holidays with other schools having the ability to reach out. if I’m a returning player and I see both QBs gone, best WR gone for sure and lots of other unknowns, do I stick around? That roster will get lots of attention.

Maybe they have a RT that would like to make a return back to Grand Forks to play his senior year closer to home.

I believe there is also a window for teams still playing when the portal closes.

Even they have used transfers in recent years. Step away from the ledge.

Remember the exodus that was going to happen……

Tough to throw stones at what Bubba and staff built for OL. Arguably best/deepest position on the field the last few seasons.

It was a toss up. We need to get our road woes figured out so we can play at home in the playoffs. If today proved anything it’s that home field matters.
