    I get both sides of it, but would you rather - 

    Compete for National Titles in FCS or Play at MN and never sniff a meaningful Bowl Game?  (I would rank 12 other Big 10 teams as a better option than MN for success)

    Play 3-4 years as a major contributor or burn years riding the pines, get some playing time as a Jr. and possibly start as a Senior?

    These are legitimate things to consider and personally I have children coming up that will need to navigate these scenarios, not all football related. 

    Fleck has done a decent job although personally I would never let my son(s) play for him.  He's too much about himself and I think this is widely known.  The "Elite" crap they through at recruits is nauseating.  MN will see Elite this year, Ohio St. and Oregon.

    Minnesota and it really isn't a tough decision. National TV every week, more $$$$. Interesting comment about 12 other Big 10 teams about Minnesota who? The clear ones are Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, and Michigan. Other than that there isn't much difference especially when you start looking at teams records over the last 3-4 years. My biggest complaint with Fleck is at times he gets much too conservative in game playing risk averse.

    Sam Howell, we barely knew you.  Brosmer not quite ready, in comes Wentz.

    Hope he just sits back and watches JJ have a great year.  

    Now about a WR.....:glare:

    Shocked they were able to get something for Howell. Wentz knows the offense having spent time in LA. I do think if McCarthy were to miss time after the first few weeks we see Brosmer over Wentz.

  3. Thought we should have got more back for Duran especially with 2+ years left so no need to deal him.

    Bader to Phillies as well and Stewart to Dodgers for 28 year old LHH OF James Outman, Twins already have a lot of LHH outfielders.

    Surprised they were able to move Correa.

    Columbe now moved to Rangers.

    I thought he was more football than hockey...in which case he definitely would get the hell out of Minnesota.

    Yeah if he is playing QB he doesn't have many options in Minnesota because he hasn't looked B1G level, for that matter Minnesota has had their 2026 QB commit since last summer.

    He played at Miami. He left midseason after Miami coach stepped down in the middle of the season 

    My mistake, once Iowa fired Fran it was pretty well known he wanted to come back home but there wasn't any interest from Minnesota so St. Thomas was the logical landing spot.

    St Thomas just signed a player that played Iowa and Miami.   I hope we can get a couple of those type players.  

    Technically he didn't play at either place. Was a redshirt freshman this year at Miami, left at semester and practiced with Iowa for the rest of their season.

    I would think based on numbers we will probably have to bring in one of or maybe two of Schultz, Simpson, Pilgram and O'Neil but I would say O'Neil would be the least ready at this point. Ideally they all play another year of juniors though. 

    I may be in the minority but I would not be opposed at all to bringing in Schultz and Simpson.

    Didn't stop Herter from being named a finalist.  Maybe he'll head over once WMU's season is over.

    Big difference between an assistant being listed for a potential head job compared to another head coach being listed publicly.

  9. Certainly wasn’t my first choice. Disappointing to see like a UND/GF tie was requirement to be a finalist. No Barr or Raboin are disappointing but not sure they’d let it out if they were finalist due to effect on their current job. Hope for the best under Jackson but need to see a lot of change.

  10. So I've seen some mention the applicant list and who applied, is the way a coaching search works at North Dakota different then many other places? Isn't a AD just able to target who they want and try to negotiate a deal with them without needing a pool of applicants. Like I know Minnesota fired basketball coach Ben Johnson on March 12th and by like 10AM March 13th Coyle had a deal with Niko Medved even though Colorado State just lost on Sunday. Couldn't Chaves call Barr and get a deal done and whenever Maine loses it is announced.

    I brought him up in another thread but since this is fully dedicated to the New Coach. This one would be in my top 3 for sure at this point.

    Todd Knott (pronounced Kuh-NOT) joined the Badger coaching staff as associate head coach in April 2023.

    The 2023 American Hockey Coaches Association's Terry Flanagan Award winner for his career body of work as an assistant coach, Knott spent the prior 11 seasons on Hastings' staff at Minnesota State, first as an assistant coach, before becoming associate head coach in 2018. He spent 14 years total at Minnesota State.
     
    Ranked the No. 1 college hockey recruiter by a panel of NHL scouts, USHL executives, agents and other college coaches according to The Athletic in the fall of 2022, Knott was key in helping Minnesota State to eight NCAA tournament appearances over 11 seasons, as well as a pair of NCAA Frozen Four trips and an NCAA runner-up finish.
     
    As a coaching partner with new head coach Mike Hastings at Minnesota State, Knott's collegiate coaching resume mimics UW's bench boss, with eight conference regular-season titles and four conference tournament titles over the 11 seasons. That also included 11 consecutive 20-win seasons and three 30-win campaigns.
     
    Knott is simply the best in the business," once source said to The Athletic in the college coach recruit rankings. "He can identify and recruit talent as well as anyone. He's honest and relentless in his effort."
     
    Before his time at Minnesota State, Knott coached in the USHL beginning in 2005 as associate head coach for Des Moines, helping the team win the Clark Cup in his first season. He moved on to become head coach and general manager in Sioux City before joining the Mavericks.
     
    Prior to the USHL, Knott served one season as assistant coach and one as head coach for the NAHL's Fargo-Moorhead Jets, helping the team win a regular-season championship and the West Division playoff title. They finished as Tier II runners up that same 2004-05 campaign.
     
    Knott's collegiate playing career spanned 1998 through 2002 at Bemidji State where he earned his physical education degree in 2002.
     
    Knott's family includes his wife, Angie, and their daughters Allie and Baylee, as well as their son, Jackson.

    Good guy, from my hometown originally and know his family well. Coulda had the Mankato job but opted to go with Hastings.
