If Deboer interviews well and gets the job I don't have a problem with him. His teams were always prepared. I still believe the coordinators and assistant coaches are the key to this hire.

So who on our staff would have you promoted?

Well said. The problem I have with this process, besides the length, is that Faison recognized head coach salaries and asst. salaries needed to be improved and found the money. I applaud him for that. However, he now seems to have no drive to put that money to work and go recruit a guy off that list. Its frustrating this has been so quiet.

At this point we can't worry about FU. We need to get a hire to get a staff put together. Allow them to start recruiting and give the returning players a face so we don't lose anymore.

Unless your Tibesar, I know nothing more than you. I would assume since the NFL is the pinnacle of playing, and coaching, he's not coming back to UND. As for BB, there have been multiple ideas why he's not interested stated. Pflugard should have at least been a finalist at Weber and wasn't.

Tibesar wasn't interested because of his current position, had nothing to do with the current state of the program. While I'm not sure what to think of the potential hire, the fact that Weber St. passed on Pflugard is more alarming than what happened at Montana. The guy was on his staff and they had a couple seasons to evaluate him. That is better than any interview. I wonder if Oxbow's sources mentioned anything about any follow up done on Pflugard.

Good hire. Lesson I take away from this- from this point forward, UND needs to have its next head coach on staff. Or change the process

Hoping these guys to stick together and some leaders step up .

It's been stated by many people on this board anything but winning the conference tournament is a disappointment this year.

Eastern Washington moves on. Will face Townson next Saturday.

And FU fans ignore the 20 point loss.

Nice win for the ladies today. Another Super Bowl victory.

FU fans come back here desperately begging for attention again. Good win vs Notre Dame. Still doesn't change the 20 point convincing loss from earlier.

So how many years do you give the new head coach to right the ship here?

Also, of all the applicants, Bubba is the safest hire. We all know what we are getting with him. The wild card is the offensive staff he brings in. The risk or chance as you put it is limited with him

I'm not 100% sold on bubba abut his recruits did go on to have success. It's not sugar coating, it's based in results.

FU overwhelmed CC in that first half.

No, but gut feeling says he is.

Which coach on that list would not have applied if last week was the deadline?

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.

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.

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
