So you’re saying someone that’s a head coach right now? Or mean something else by that? If you mean current HC, then would think D2 ranks is likely. Doubt we could poach an FCS coach.

Looked like Schmidt may have been running the 4-2-5 at San Diego State? That’s encouraging that he may not shove the 3-4 down our throat, if hired. I do believe he would think hard about it, if offered.

I’d prefer more youth but he’s done well.

So will it be from this list? Who we adding to it?

Hmmmmm

Do you have someone that would? Realistic candidate. Luke would move the needle a bit for me. Maybe one of the coordinators at one of the other Dakotas. Not Jake.

Understandable.

Also, I want to mention that the last two coach hirings I was pounding the table for Kalen Deboer for football and Ben McCollum for basketball. I’d say those aged quite well. If Bill wants to know my thoughts right now, it’s pounding the freaking table for Danny. I’m open to listening to others but that’s my stance right now.

Schmidt would not really excite me tbh.

I’m not really sure why we think it’s going to happen just because McFooley posted a column with nothing that hasn’t been said before.

I have a huge life hack for you if you have an iPhone….. click the link, and then at the top click this button that I have circled and then click show reader.

UND (250) had a bad showing yesterday. Too many turnovers, too many missed 3s and not enough defense. Bounce back today against Southeastern Louisiana (259). Not going to do a deep dive today but UND is -1.5. Game is behind the paywall of Flocollege or whatever.

Bad L.

10 first half turnovers. Clean that up and we should win still.

Eaglestaff needs to clean up the turnovers. Come on man.

Sounds like some lazy turnovers.

I don’t think Miller was pushing for Romfo to win the job. He was just reporting on how the QBs looked during fall camp.

$19.99 for a month.

UND (KenPom 228) pulled it off against LMU. They managed to make it real interesting at the end but pulled it off. Now they are rewarded by being in Cancun and playing Bethune-Cookman (KP 277). Bethune-Cookman is 1-4 with their lone win against South Carolina State. They did keep it close against Nebraska too. Looks like #2 Brayon Freeman and #1 Trey Thomas are the ones to keep your eye on. Freeman is a senior guard averaging 15ppg. Thomas is a junior guard averaging 10.4ppg. Both are transfers. KenPom predicts UND to win this one 73-70. I think we should be able to win by more. Unfortunately, the game is on FloCollege and a month plan is $19.99.

So who would UND hire? - Eric Schmidt - 1st year as DC at San Diego State. Currently they’re 3-8, giving up 29.45ppg and 422.9 yards per game. Not great, but 1st year as DC there. - Danny Freund - 1st year as Co-OC at SDSU but not the primary play caller. Offense is averaging 36.58ppg. No clue how credit he’s due, if any. He’s my guy but understand the skepticism. - Isaac Fruechte - 1st year as OC here. Think he’s done a decent to good job. Offense is averaging 30.83ppg. People aren’t a fan of his QB choice. I think he will be a successful coach going forward but not sure it’s the right time to be the head coach. - Tony Annese - Ferris State head coach, #1 team in D2. 132-21 record but he’s 63 years old. Maybe his son Steve? Not sure how much influence he has had in their success. - Tyler Roehl - if you can’t beat them, hire them? I know he’s now at Iowa State but many years in the NDSU program and knows how to win. Many voiced their opinion for him to take over after Entz left. Many also wanted him canned. I’d say this one’s unlikely. - Luke Schleussner - 2nd year as OC at Idaho, was our OC last year of Muss. Known as a great recruiter. Idaho is averaging 28.08ppg this year and 32.31 last year. - Josh Davis - 1st year as OC at USD, was previously at SDSU as the pass game coordinator. Averaging 37ppg. - Travis Johansen - 6th season as USD’s DC. Holding teams to 14.94ppg. Was previously the head coach at Grand View (NAIA) where he had a record of 61-11. - Jesse Bobbit - 2nd season as SDSU’s DC. Held teams to 12.42ppg this year and 9.27ppg last year. An SDSU alum with previous coaching stop at Washington State as a grad assistant and then quality control coach. I am sure there are many others but I’m more interested in talking about who rather than talking about Bubba right now. We will see if this is even necessary this year but this thread and the need for a new head coach is not going to die just because the athletic department says Bubba isn’t leaving.

Good win. I’m still angry that it came down to the wire there. Had it on ice but Trey got selfish there. Oh well, wins a win.
