Shanks visited Minnesota yesterday.

Schmidt has been the obvious choice for the DC it Bubba was to get the job. Now that Bubba has it, I am more interested in the OC.

gfhockey?

SFI seems to believe that the DC will more than likely be Schmidt too. I just really hope our OC doesn't run some spread offense. I just want an offense like we used to run and Bubba seems to want that too.

Probably a long shot but is there any chance of bringing in Brooks as the OC?

I would think that he could be but that doesn't seem ideal to me.

Sack City sign can actually come back now!

We have always heard about all this trimming fat when it comes to the roster, well I think Bubba will actually do that. He seems to want guys that are excited to play/coach for UND not playing because this is a "business".

I was definitely surprised to see how much emotion Bubba showed. Wow! That makes me excited that he's the guy!

Just curious, why do you want him to stay as the QB coach? Many seem to want him gone mainly because our redshirt freshman QBs didn't put up heisman numbers. I'm just wondering why you think he should stay? I'm neutral on him. Great QB, don't know how he is as a coach.

I realize that but still it seems like a downgrade for a coaching position.

I like Longo but why did he go from the OC at SIU (seems like a pretty good job), to the receivers coach and recruiting coordinator at Slippery Rock. That seems like a definite downgrade to me. I see that he is a New Jersey native so I guess maybe he wanted to be closer to home.

Matteau was named player of the game for the US.

I really wish Riddle would have stayed here. I think he could have been a stud for us. I'm still all in on bringing Wilkie here and I hope Bubba and his staff notice him.

So the next assistant coaches of UND football are....

Is Bubba known for his recruiting?

Didn't gfhockey say from the beginning that it was going to be Bubba? Sure he said it was going to happen the next day but he had the right coach at the beginning.

What's so good about Schmidt? Honest question. Also why did he resign back in 05 or 06 or something?

Stefan needs to be given the opportunity to step up.

I am hoping gfhockey's sources are right personally.

Slow and steady wins the race!

That's true. Caruso would already be here and spoke to the team. Golladay wouldn't be going anywhere. Oh and Connor Wilkie would have committed to him.

Hey now what's wrong with that? That's what I'm doing right now!

I really think we are going to miss out on DeBoer if in fact Bubba is the one. Maybe DeBoer will come with him here but I just don't see that. We are all just stuck in the past hoping for Bubba to bring back the defense that we had back in the day. I am all for hiring a defensive-minded coach but Bubba just doesn't seem to have the HC "it" factor in my mind. I really do hope that whoever it is that is hired succeeds here but I just think that DeBoer has a better chance of succeeding.
