"I told you so"? Told me what? Thoughtful post.

I dont know because I'm not there in the forums and havent seen them in person or heard their visions. I also don't know what Kennedy wants in an Athletic Director. Two huge variables. If you are in GF, maybe go to Mannausau's public forum today and listen to his vision and plan. THEN come back and tell us he's crap.

Sure. You do whatever you want bud.

There are two separate entities here. There was a 'search firm' used (Bill Carr) to help find and recruit the best pool of candidates possible for the 'committee' to choose from. The 'search firm' had absolutely nothing to do with selecting the finalists. The 'committee' chose the 4 finalists.

I suppose you want to ignore that he fundraised to get Phase I built and that he already has started Phase II. Maybe sit the next play out...

Fatass...

Any committee consisting of more than 7 people is asking for trouble. You cant even get 7 people to agree on what kind of pizza to order.

We obviously agree on this.

A President, much like any AD hiring "his" head coach, should be able to vet, interview and hand pick "his" AD without any committee. That's the way it SHOULD be. But we all know how that would be viewed in the public eye if Kennedy had chose to go that route. No win situation. Either way, someone will bitch about it.

Morton applied, but keep going...

Your leader in the clubhouse? Please say yes....please.

She is applying for her 8th job in 17 years. All other positions she's held have been in sunshine states and climates, with the exception of Yale in 2011-2012. California native, Stanford undergrad. Wonder how she would like North Dakota winters and for how long.

No surprise with Mannausau. He knows the culture, the state and the operation. Home run fundraiser. Has experience in many different capacities at UND including dealing with the management of the REA and the Alerus. I think he'd be great if given the opportunity.

Faison's salary is around $193,000

You are mistaken UNDBIZ. Bad link and info.

Every team you mention that beat the BSC champ from every year ended up playing for the national championship. And every game was tight with the exception of 2015. Not arguing, just adding that on.

You just keep waxing philosophically about football bud. The only lecture I have is that you seem to not know what you're talking about again.

"Dive" is a fullback play in our offense. We didn't run "dive" after norberg was injured. We ran inside zone, outside zone, power and counter with a sprinkling of some other concepts. Apparently we weren't comfortable running dive with our fullbacks after norberg was injured. I hear what you are saying philosophically, but we did not run "dive" with Santiago or any other tailback. Inside zone, outside zone, power, counter etc have gap progressions for the running back reads. I could go into the specifics of those progressions if you'd like. But, carry on...

This is 100% what I believe to be correct as well.

Who got phase one built? Who has the foundation in place to get phase II built? Hint: not Brian Faison

Phase II is key to the future and success of UND Football. Period. We need 30 million as soon as possible. There's only one man to see that thru as the next AD.

Ok, so it won't be Morton then? - kiss of death. Much like it was on your prediction for Kalen Deboer.
