Also, should we read anything into the fact that Tom Buning apparently wasn't a part of this event?
I was told he was not invited.....That should speak volumes....?

I will now excuse myself from getting into a discussion about who should replace Dale Lennon until Dale Lennon needs to be replaced.
I thought we had a agreement.....?

Tibesar is likely on a higher trajectory path than Lennon was: already the DC on Kansas State. Do you think he would come back as HC at UND and have to deal with a transition? If UND was several years into the transition, the chances to Tibesar coming back would be higher, IMHO.
I personally don't think Bubba or Hedberg would hesitate to jump to UND. Both programs will have to drop scholarship levels to 24 - granted they didn't have 36 anyway. The drop in the prestige of their conference and opponents could hurt their personal marketability: can't imagine they would turn down a UND job.
With Lennon having a record of cleaning up programs (didn't he basically sacrifice his first season at Mary when there was integrity/discipline issues among players), more and more it seems Lennon should actually be the favorite over the popular Carroll coach. If Lennon should go to MSU, an assistant coach or two moving with him would also hurt. Montana State's recruiting area may have to be expanded or redirected to meet higher academic standards (especially with all the California kids that caused problems). Lennon would give Montana State access to recruiting contacts in ND, Minnesota, and Wisc. With Montana having a huge number of scholarships opening this coming year, Van Diest's Montana connections might not be that benefical near term and Lennon's value rises.
If there really are benefactors that intend to donate an indoor practice facility, now seems the time for them to step up.
Star good post...
Tibesar and Mussman would be very viable canidates, but under the last couple of hirings would not even be interviewed because of no head coaching exp..?
You are correct that both Bubba and Randy would have great interest, but Und 92,96 is correct about current working environment, but our only hope of keeping some of current staff would be to hire someone that is familar with UND...
We are geting way ahead of ourselves however, I believe UND is a special place for Dale and it will take a great offer to take him away, my guess he will be in the final two, and then who knows....?
Hopefully the work that is going on behind the scenes, to mend some fences in Athletics will succeed......
I know one thing for certain, lose Dale and a lot of giving alumni will not be putting up a new practice facility very soon...

So IYHO who is more of a problem, Ralston or the LtC?
My IYHO....Phil
Phil recomended, the LTC to Cupcake, who hire him and then the LTC hired BR....
So in short PH, CC, BR with LTCTB have accomplished the lowest moral that I've seen in A-Dept. History, with DL, GR, KZ, DH, & more not being happy
-
Maybe this should be a new thread...
who is next in line if he leaves? Mussman?
Depends on "Betty and Tom's" criteria......They may need to have been a head coach at a High School in Illinois
-
That being said I think Lennon stays at UND if offered the job or not
I hope you are right, 2-3 years ago Dale would not even listen to other offers, things have changed

I am a UND alum, currently live in MN and was in ND this past weekend to visit my dad back on the farm. Every state highway sign had the Sioux head on it along with the name " SIOUX' on many steel grainerys. I guess that was the company name back in the 70's when we put up the bin. Funny how no one complains about our highway signs or our steel bin. I believe that when UND wins the suit, the other schools will regrett giving up so soon without a fight. GO SIOUX!
If I am not mistaken a indian head logo of some heritage is also on all the State of North Dakota's State Patrol Cars.....

Looks like Greg Cascaes made it again...this time he travels to Prague, Cz......Congrats

Does John Stewart have a close association with the athletic department?
Both John and his brother Pete are former Basketball players for the Sioux, John will do a outstanding job with a former Athlete's perspective, currently he is a very successful bussiness man and giving alum......
He is the only one with any knowledge of Athletics, outside maybe Tim O'Keefe....
I'm surprised in no Athletic Administration or Coaching representation......Especially with our current move.....?

Club is open and not a golfer in sight...

Far be it from me to ever question the State Board of Higher Educational person or persons that put this committee together......BUT..?
Does anyone think that we should have some Athletic Department representation on this committee, since maybe we are making the BIG move to Div 1....
It may be nice to get some opinions from Athletics......?
Just a Thought....?

With a new president coming in within the next year, would that change the climate?
I believe it is all the Presidents men...
Question, I don't really follow other sports as much as hockey but what is this friction you mention? Just wondering. Is it related to the AD or President of the University?When you are the Head Coach of of any program, You want control of your Budget, Staff, and Scheduling......This does not seem to be the case anymore at UND......Some decisions are being made in regards to teams sometimes without even knowledge of the Coaches.

All I want is a small bad government instead of the current big bad government.
I nominate this for best quote of the year.....
-
Please elaborate to the extent that you can.
I believe Dale Lennon loves UND and would have probably retired here and still could....
But there is alot of friction between administration and the coaching staffs, I have never seen the morale as low as it is right now in many areas....
In the past some coaches would not even entertain other options, I believe that climate has now changed....
That is about all I can say.....

Don't even think it.
Everything is not as happy as it looks at the old brick stadium.....
