No DC posting? Interesting. Or has it been posted?

We haven't been able to consistently get enough top athletes to run any defensive set at a high level. The 3-4 is just a convenient boogeyman.

1883 Collective has posted in the past couple days that these players are back in addition to Sawyer Seidl: Deng Deng Sam Strandell Caleb Olson

I think most on here have said that we haven’t had the talent level of the top teams. We won games when we played our best but there hasn’t been any margin for error. Any letdown at all and we lost games.

What positions are still open besides DC and recruiting coordinator?

Someone posted earlier that Kostich staying. Anything official on that?

All you said is true. We don't have enough dudes, especially on D. I think we do make the field if we had the conference schedules some of those other teams had. Those teams and their conferences get exposed during the playoffs.

I think 3 in first round. Lehigh, UT Martin and Illinois St. ISU was on road cuz field not available.

I just brought this up with my wife. Based on the response from her and my kids, I hope other football alums can come through cuz I won't make a big dent if $14 million is the target.

Your statement holds no water. If you go forward a half second or so he hits the goalie in the head right before #4 makes contact or as he just touches him. Not enough to push him into the goalie. Cheap play

agree. Amazing there is that much difference between the top 3 or 4 and the rest of FCS. Looks like Vegas had it right with the point spreads. MSU -14 SDSU -18.5 USD -3.5 NDSU -22.5

In 2023 only about 45% of fb players who entered the portal found new teams. It’ll be worse this year.

The long snapper and holder are underrated in importance to the kicking game. On place kicks it is the difference between the kicker starting his swing before he has a target or starting with ball already in place. It is a big deal. Neuberger was so solid he mostly went unnoticed and that's a good thing. It is great to get him back.

I like this but I guess it rules out Luke from coming back.

The article doesn't give any names. Says doing interviews Wed and Thurs for key positions. Have to go thru university hiring process and expect to have 8 of 10 positions finalized in the next 5-6 days.

I looked up the U of MN staff to see what they have for recruiting coordinators. I admit I was surprised by the number of people assigned to recruiting. There are 9 here plus a few others that may fall under the same umbrella. Director of Player Personnel - in his bio it calls him the recruiting coordinator. Director of Recruiting / Minnesota High School Liaison Director of Recruiting Operation Director of Recruiting Management Director of On-Campus Recruiting Assistant Director of Player Personnel Assistant Director of On-Campus Recruiting Assistant for Recruiting and Administration Coordinator of Recruiting Operations

In the interview with UNDfootball360 he talks about going thru the formality of the hiring rules. Sounded like it will take a week or two but is bringing in a number of new people.

I’m guessing you’re right and most have been decided. I’m curious to find out and wonder when we’ll know.

I wasn't able to listen to the entire things. Did this get asked?

Granted this is based on one video and my general impression but it looks like UND went with completely different personality from Bubba. Fiery vs. more measured. There is a general impression is that NFL teams go with the opposite approach from the coach they are moving on from. The last number of Vikings coaches really seem to follow that pattern. Burns - Green - Tice - Childress - Frazier - Zimmer - O'Connell

I have the same thought of 'give me one more year of eligibility' every home game during the Hawk Walk when the team walks through the tailgating area with the band playing on both sides of them. Then I quickly remember that I'm in my 60's and I grab another beer, something to eat, and relax.

Keaton Studsrud weighs in.

The continuous improvement motto gives me flashbacks to my days working in manufacturing engineering. Was a consistent message for our company. It is interesting to see it applied to a fb team also but it makes sense.

Just went and watched it. No argument here. Some very impressive throws.

When do people think we’ll hear about the staff? Maybe some positions on Wednesday?
