Heard (2nd or 3rd hand) that the NIL money for our new QB was $50k.
It's impressive that we have kind of NIL money to offer if true.

Did he start for the Jacks last season? I guess pulling a starter away from the Jacks would be a decent reason.
I'm pretty much a 'don't let the door hit you in the arse' guy but I'd welcome him back. Local guy, great player and the landscape of college fb has changed so much lately that I think we need to get with the times and get better any way we can.
And............I randomly connected with his family at tailgating 2 years ago and they always had a big party going and offered up great food and drinks to me.

Anyone make out what the Canadian fans were yelling toward and after the game? It sounded like “Yankees suck!” perhaps because one of the refs was American?
I thought I heard - ‘Refs you suck’

When will UND and Schmidt announce new coaches do we have timeline or is when positions openings are closed.
Guessing some of them are with teams that are still playing.

What Dustin said...his last 3 years at UND the defense was very "mid" at best. Somehow it got worse after he left...
And to add to that...I was in the camp that an outside hire would be a nice breath of fresh air into the program. There were a couple of regional candidates that I liked better that I feel like are on an upward trajectory and would have had an opportunity to be great. I think a lot of people connotate Eric Schmidt the legendary player with an assumption that he'll automatically succeed as head coach at UND...and I've seen that not be the case quite often. It seems to me that the top decision he's made as a coach was hitching his wagon to Kalen DeBoer...which was a great decision!
I think he's been a helluva position coach...but the jury is still out in my mind on his ability as a head coach given his history as a coordinator. That said...I'm glad he recognizes that the talent level has been deficient roster-wide (with obvious bright spots). It gives me hope that he can get the job done. Next will be his external staffing hires...
My take is that he now has experience at the highest level of college football. Hoping that he can parlay what he has learned and the connections he has made to put together a top staff and roster.
Others had head coaching experience but not at the FCS level or above. It is a tradeoff and a bit of a crap shoot either way.

I'm not saying he'll walk on water...but he is likely one of the most physically gifted QB's to ever step foot on campus. Does that translate into All American accolades...of course not! But, for an obviously talent deficient roster an influx of athletes that can potentially help right away either on the field or pushing others will be much appreciated.
Just because you are on the roster doesn't mean you have a divine right to a spot. Playing time is earned...and coaching seats warm up too quickly to not put the best players on the field (or find better players if the ones you have aren't good enough to win at a high level). I wasn't a huge fan of the Schmidt hire...but he's doing what needs to be done with the roster IMO and I'm coming around on things...
Honest question. Why were you hesitant on the Schmidt hire?

He was involved in lots of non-football activities on campus and kids flocked to him. Really out of touch if you think UND wouldn't welcome another Q.
The student who ran the sack city sign for us the three years before this one was good friends with Q. Made his own Q shirt by drawing on a white tank top T. He even came back for senior day this year just for Q.
I asked how he knew him and he said they lived next to each other and Q came over and introduced himself and is a helluva guy. They've been friends ever since.

Dude......you're going back almost 50 years 😆
I'm old and he's the only one I could think of. I remember watching him when I was in hs and he was a beast at the QB position.

Has UND ever hard a real Dual Threat QB?
Tom Biolo? Not sure if he would be considered a dual threat in today's era but I remember him as a pretty good running QB.

I love the portal and enjoy watching the NIL pearl clutching. Its really nice to see the players get paid and coaches having to deal with it. It could use a little regulation and visibility as I would like to see how much the players are actually getting paid versus all of the rumors.
Im sure one of the guys on here has all of the stats as to percentages of players that go into the portal versus end up in a better situation but Im sure the answer is a pretty low percentage. There are always the outliers that are bouncing around every year.. but for the vast majority, its gotta be somebody who is trying to go somewhere for the last year or two of eligibility or somebody who ended up in a situation that just didnt work out for them and they would like to play.
In 2023, about 45% of student-athletes who entered the transfer portal were able to move to a new school.
Most, if not all, of our guys that I am aware of that entered the portal found new teams. There must be a bunch of guys that are at lower end of rosters across the country that are taking one last shot and don't catch on anywhere.

Eric Schmidt is not going to be both a defensive coordinator and a defensive play-caller, all while dealing with head coach responsibilities. There will be a new yet very capable defensive coordinator in place in due time. Patience, patience, patience.
It'll be hard to find anyone on here who doubts that SchmidtE will do a great job and get a good staff in place. We are just commenting on the process, timing and speculating on what it might mean. Just being fans who care and are interested in how things work in the coaching ranks and how the university goes about hiring.

Unlikely. Three defensive coaching positions are open, once those are filled, one of the three likely will be named defensive coordinator in addition to specific position responsibilities.
Not doubting your reply but it seems like a strange way to hire a staff. I'd think he'd work top down. Maybe his preferred DC candidate is with a team that is still playing.

No DC posting? Interesting.

It is still used by some of the top teams in the FBS and more than a handful of NFL teams.
What base defense you run doesn't really matter if you don't have the players to run it and/or they aren't fundamentally sound. UND hasn't been able to consistently get the athletes they need to run it.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.

I am hearing the new coach is not happy with much of anything on this roster. We have been conditioned to think we had a good enough roster. Not the case
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.

As one watches these FCS playoff games it truly tells the state of this FB program. Most of these playoff teams are absolute trash.....and yet UND didn't even make the field.
I've heard Schmidt say in multiple interviews the #1 issue to start with is recruiting. Got to get some dudes at the WR and QB positions as well as across the board on D. Not going anywhere next season with what's coming back.
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.

How many road wins have there been this year in the FCS playoffs?
I think 3 in first round.
Lehigh, UT Martin and Illinois St. ISU was on road cuz field not available. -

Hopefully UND can follow suit.
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.

No intent to injure…coming left to right (not directly at the goaltender) and playing puck…no contact to head…contact caused by our #4. Now if he gets his ass kicked in for that I have no problem with that but calling it dirty and begging for a major and video review is what I have a problem with. Refs obviously agreed as no major was accessed.
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
