In retrospect, I now have a better appreciation of why there couldn't have been a national search after Lennon left. Even if UND had actually had an a.d. at the time, can you imagine this ridiculous process starting in late December?
With an interim AD.
-
DeWitt is still the coach that interests me the most. The comments in articles from the players after he took over as d cord. make me believe he knows how to motivate.
-
I think the key for Bubba if hired is who his assistant coaches are. I don't mind him as a chiice for coach, even over Pflu. You know who his defensive coordinator will be, it's his offensive guy that I haven't figured out.
-
saw faison on the und extra show...said they "found" more money for the head coach and the assistants but "wasn't easy"
anyone know where this money was found and why it wasnt easy?
If he said it was easy we could all question where it's been the last few years. It could be from the Spirit Campaign, so it would make sense we didn't have it in the past. Or gfhockey's buddies really did pony up.

Great post bin. My vote is for DeWitt. Have a feeling it's Bubba
-
He better cut them fast. Nothing good is going to happen if these guys go for Christmas without a coach in place. He already fucked up there.

This is the part of this "search" that has really bugged me... Why can't the applications go straight to Faison? Who would be more qualified to choose the right candidates to move forward, the HR staff or the actual Athletic Director??? I realize they are following university/state procedure, but c'mon, this doesn't really make any sense, as well as the fact that it's taken almost a month to get 9 "candidates" since the job was posted....
Time to look at some of these policies & timelines.
Or why can't points be added up as apps come in? Some of these have been on their desk for a month.

I think it comes down to focus. I look at the team basketball UND has played against Weber St. last year for example. To me its appears when they get focused, they play well. These last few games there has been too much one on one, we are ranked in the 300's for assists this year. You can't tell me other guys aren't open. Jones needs to correct this now before it becomes a habit.
-
The people Faison is going to talk with about Pflu are those inside the Montana athletic dept and they are the ones who had to clean up the mess when he was gone. That is why I don't think he gets the job.
I don't think the next head coach is on the list above. I vote other.

That's when I know it matters
It always comes back to that.
Seriously though, pretty good win tonight.

Go back and read it. In that comment there was no mention of BB. It said conf titles and national titles which would refer to BB and FB. Meaning that you can win the head to head every year as long as we have successful seasons and make the playoffs every now and then

Let me know when you win the conference title in BB.
You said you'll take national titles in basketball............let me know when you get that one.
-
You can have head to head I'll take conference and national titles. If winning an early season game is your Super Bowl hey have at it
Let me know when you win that national title in basketball.

Head to head results don't mean much if you don't win another game during the season.
I guess you are saying NDSU would have been a top half football team in the Big 12 this year, since they beat K-State, who finished in the middle of the Big 12.
I think that is a direct quote from Bville.
Good win for FU tonight. UND needs to learn to win on the road.
-
Great hire....would have loved to have gotten him at UND
Agreed, he is a good man. It will make it interesting which assistants will stay with him and which will go with Bohl.
-
This team misses Brekke.

The SIU offenses haven't been explosive under him, but have been pretty consistent--mid-20's to 30 ppg and mid-to-high 300's per game in terms of yardage. Pretty balanced between run and pass. Knowing how Lennon prefers to be conservative on offense and rely on defense, special teams and field position, I'm not surprised SIU hasn't had especially explosive offenses. UND was much the same way until the two years with Chappell and Dressler. I don't know how they've ranked in the MVFC, or how they compared to Lennon's first couple of seasons.
Keep in mind the defenses they have to play against week in and week out in the MVFC.
In seriousness he's in my top 3 of the applicants who have applied just cause you can't argue his success as a head coach.
-
Some levity... Look at the resume that that Chris McComas resume he sent in. He sent it Tom Miller on twitter. https://www.dropbox....kota-resume.pdf Hilarious
That was pretty funny
-
I should also add- I don't agree with Faison taking the time he has. He should have had someone named today. My point of post #1625 above was that FU has a few more applicants with connections to the program while Gene Taylor was AD than we have.
-
I can imagine if NDSU doesn't go internally that they will find some way to break the NDUS hiring rules to get their guy in a fraction of the time UND has...any takers on that bet?
Whoever FU hires is going to have ties to the program. Unfortunately, UND has not had a bunch of guys go into coaching at the college level after they left school. We have also been successful in the past on the field and have not had a real high coaching turnover rate with coaches coming and going. That is going to affect the timeline of the search. I think its more likely the next coach at FU has ties to the program than the bet you have above. I also don't buy the thread started on Bville questioning whether FU is "too good" for some coaches to apply.
In the end- they get a quality coach with ties to the program, we don't necessarily have that luxury unless we hire from SIU and the search may take longer.

Former UNI and Kansas head coach, and former Nebraska DC? I'd say those are further up the sexy meter.
He wasn't their first choice
-
I trust Vince when he says Brooks won't be applying.

Lets hear an evaluation on this player. And Welcome Drew Greeley!!
Here is an article written on him from back in October. http://www.northstarfootballnews.com/news_article/show/296448?referrer_id=903187
Welcome Drew.

That would be the best possible hire for NDSU. He is the architect of the defense, could hire one of his defensive assistants as d-coordinator and could find an O-Coordinator elsewhere that would be as good as Vigen. Would also have a great chance of keeping current players and most of the committed recruits, which they have a few of with FBS offers already.
Also think he would take it if offered. I don't think he left UNI to come to NDSU to be a career assistant.
It is an interesting decision if Klieman is offered. I don't see it as a lock that he accepts. If his aspiration is to be a head coach at the FBS level, turning around Wyoming's defense in a couple seasons will earn him way more recognition than being successful at the FCS level in that same time frame. Also, Vigen has turned into a top notch O-cord. Its not like there are guys as good or better than him just sitting around.
The next coach of UND football is....

If he knew Muss was going to be let go even a week prior to the season ending, he could have pulled the trigger. The likely small list of applicants would not have been nearly as important as the additional week, assuming he has a plan.
