He would be without a job if the new hire doesn’t keep him no matter if he took the interim position….

Appears to be a player movement on X to #hirefruechte

If it’s a defensive head coach, I can see retaining Fruechte, Olson and maybe Kirkwood. If it’s not, I think it may be just about best to clean house.

Huh?

Working quite well in the D2 world.

I’ve been thinking how cool it would be to hire him. No way he leaves Arkansas to come up north lol.

My opinion of Bolte is probably skewed based off him only being at Bemidji State. Not the sexiest place to hire from. But his numbers don’t really lie.

Job will close on Friday. Shouldn’t be a month long process. Required to have 8 plus years for full-time coaching experience, think that eliminates Fruechte. Looks like this was his 7th, unless I did the math wrong. https://careers.und.edu/jobs/head-coach-football-grand-forks-north-dakota-united-states

That presser was happening no matter what. I guess now Fruechte is added to it.

I’m aligned almost 100%.

Yeah he’s got a bit of an outside prospective but if a year ago Bubba stepped down and we opted to hire Winona State’s OC, how would you have felt? I like Fruechte a lot. Think he could be really good, but it doesn’t get the juices going as @Oxbow6 was asking. If he ultimately is the guy, he better clean house. Besides maybe Olson and Kirkwood.

Bunch of players tweeting about it.

Naming Fruechte as interim smells like the job is Schmidt’s and he’s keeping Fruechte onboard.

Bo Belquist?!

Oh damn looks like you’re right! His bio on USD’s site is misleading. I knew I shouldn’t have doubted Ira.

Johansen was 61-11 at Grand View (NAIA).

The Bison not wanting him is one thing but in my opinion, we shouldn’t be picking our next HC based off our current roster. That’s silly.

I don’t think Danny is going to be the guy, I’m still a believer but will move on. Travis Johansen or Scott Wooster now top my list.

Same could be said about Danny. Don’t think either will end up the guy though.

With a new coaching staff in 2025, what if Trey Feeney ends up our starting QB? That would be something.

I think Wooster is my personal pick right now.

Matt Mitchell or Scott Wooster

4-8 DC in the MAC? Lots of experience but meh. Giving up 32/game too. Hasn’t been good at Akron his 3 years.

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.
