Siouxjoy explained the process earlier in this thread. HR gives points to applicants based on the criteria in the posting. Faison can interview anybody he wants to but he also has to interview anybody that has a higher point total than that person. That isn't his fault.

Rocco has been very good again.

The American Tire commercials have become classics in my opinion.

I don't know if I can watch that 5 star collision commercial again with the deer on the couch. Wow.

I think the 9 were forwarded to Faison so it wasn't his choice to not include Pflugrad if that is true

We've regressed to arguing about what makes SU good. We need a coach soon so we have something else to talk about.

any read on why?

I'm a Bubba guy. He set Duluth up for success and I liked him when he was here. I haven't looked enough into the Pflu issues at Montana to decide for myself how much of that was his fault but it does raise flags.

I am and have been thinking the same thing.

That is disappointing

I agree that Pflugrad and Caruso are worth a look but not automatics either. Pflugrad bring some serious baggage with him and Caruso would be stepping up from DIII.

I am too and am just as surprised that Wyoming doesn't want him on the job full time for what they are paying him.

I am assuming NDSU will have to keep their posting open for 30 days also. Unless GT can guarentee somebody the job in the next few days before all of the apps come in I don't think it should impact our search.

I was told they put it to the players and they voted to have him keep coaching. I assumed that was GT's decision to do that. I don't know what the % was each way.

Word from the team meeting this morning is the players were asked to vote on whether or not he should keep coaching through the playoffs. They voted to have him coach through the playoffs. I am surprised that Wyoming wouldn't have something to say about that.

I guess I find it hard to believe that he was that much in demand that he could wait for Nebraska. Passing up a huge payday like he got to wait for a long shot (in my opinioni) doesn't seem like a smart move. I don't know the answer but how many high profile BCS schools have gone to the FCS level to hire a head coach? Jim Tressel to Ohio State was one.

I was a little surprised by some of the talk earlier that it would take a Nebraska or K State type job to lure Bohl away from Fargo. Huge salary difference with Wyoming vs. NDSU and even 5 years there would make him a very rich man.

He told a reporter friend of mine. I asked why he didnt report it and he said he wouldn't be allowed back in NDSU locker rooms if he reported it. The actual statement was that NDSU wouldn't play as long as GT or Chapman were there.

GT stated a few years ago that they would never play as long as he is at NDSU.

Understand. The only thing I still question is the thought that there was a coverup regarding Hardee's prior DUI. There are two ways it gets out:it is found on a police record somewhere and reported by the media. Somebody on here said that it was in a municipal court so it wasn't widely available. I don't know the specifics of how that works but it sounds reasonable. Maybe the media saw it and didn't report it but it is plausible that nobody ever knew it existed. the other is that Faison/UND would report it once they were aware of it. I don't think they have an obligation to report that to the media or should. Do you?

Charlie - did someone hijack your account? I have always enjoyed your comments on here as they were pretty well thought out but this thread has pretty much degenerated into a peeing match. To answer your question - UND hockey isn't doing very well this year but I think you knew that. If you remember right the Big Ten teams pulled out of the WCHA. The word is that UND left because the smaller budget schools generally vote together to limit spending and scholarships. They were outvoted with MN and Sconny still in the conf but the balance shifted when they left. The worry was that it would hurt UND in recruiting and level of play in the long run. If that sounds familiar it is the same reason NDSU gave for wanting to leave DII for DI.

I am not sure of the rules but it seems like volleyball players can transfer between D1 programs without sitting out a year. I have seen it a number of times with UM volleyball players both in and out of the program.

They have been punished enough already!!! Let them play.

I know you are just giving back what you have gotten from the UND crowd but to say that the Fargo media reports everything they know is just not true. I heard some damaging things about NDSU leadership a couple of years ago from one of the media members who covers the Bison daily. I asked why he didn't report it and his answer was that he would never be allowed back at NDSU if he did. It wasn't anything he heard off the record but he didn't dare tell all he knew. I agree with your other statement that Roger Thomas was a great guy and UND was luck to have him.
