Adams quit? Yikes. Hopefully Rashad Williams and Aeron Carr stick it out. How good a source on Muss? A joke or somewhat serious?

I had heard about D Brown a couple days ago, as well as another DB. Wasn't sure on source so didn't say anything.

RB offerree Drew Patterson has comitted to Western Illinois.

I guess the main disappointments I would have if Bubba or DeBoer (my gut says Deboer by the way) is that they should have been hired on December 11th if it was going to be one of those two. Neither would really be sexy hires, but sometimes the non-sexy ones are the ones that surprise you and get the job done. I do have to wonder, with the potential salaries we could pay our assistants, if DeBoer would potentially be able to bring Bubba along as D Coordinator (or vice versa). I still like the potential of having Todd Hoffner as a potential OC though. Wonder if we would have DeBoer as HC, Bubba as DC and Hoffner as OC? Thoughts on that lineup?

Thanks for the link!

Part of me wondered if Faison's guy was waiting to see about the NDSU job and now that it's filled he can move forward. Can't dismiss that as a possibility I wouldn't think.

I think it was shoulder surgery. Didn't sound too terribly serious. But I may be remembering wrong.

I also think that AJ Stockwell will get some playing time this year. Brandon Miller and Dan Bell may also be in the mix.

NDSU's next coach will more than likely be Klieman or Hazelton. Bohl will actually do really well at Wyoming, and have them near the top of the MWC in three years.

UND got a second commit - Drew Greeley DE out of Wayzata! Nice! Appears he was the one from a couple weeks ago - but now confirmed on twitter! https://twitter.com/iManChild EDIT: I should say that this was the one Kotelnicki referred to on twitter a couple weeks ago, but officially he committed today it looks like.

I like where this is going. At one point Wristen was the leader for the EMU job, but now it appears the EIU coach may be. If so, then maybe Wristen is the guy.

I believe the answer is Bunning?

Couldn't agree more And I have a lot of stuff to do to gear up for year end!

Offerrees Tifonte Hunt and Romel Hill both have committed to Illinois State.

Don't really have time to look it up - was Bubba on the staff when Hoffner was a grad assistant? Wonder if Bubba comes in as HC whether Hoffner would come in as a coordinator. Might not be a bad thing. Still not sold on Bubba as what we need, although he would hopefully help shore up the defense.

I also like what DeWitt may be able to bring to the table. Although we may complain that there is a lack of "name" candidates, I think the group that has applied does have a few strong contenders.

Negative. I'm hoping he's one that is waiting until the last minute

Pflugrad would be a great hire, but I have him at number 2 behind Caruso. But I guess I trust Faison, as he's made some really good coaching hires in other sports.

Well, today is D-Day. Looking forward to who may be putting in their applications and hoping by the end of the week we have a new coach!

Cal Poly OC applied as well today. Bring in the triple option!

Also says John Wristen has a good shot at being named head coach at Eastern Michigan.

I've been firmly entrenched on the Caruso bandwagon myself. However, if there was a possibility there I wonder how much the opening with SU would impact that.

That's not an official FU account. If you read BV, that is SamsRams account.

I do feel badly for his players - especially the seniors - if this is true, which I'm starting to believe it is. This could also have a HUGE impact on NDSU recruiting. You don't think Bohl will be trying to get Eason Stick with him to Wyoming? This offseason in the Dakotas just got a heck of a lot more interesting.....

Myers and Freund. I'd heard that Faison made no promises that the new coach would keep them, but that he'd put in a recommendation that they should be kept.
