Or … just maybe … raise the standard (and your petty expectations a bit)! Thankfully you won’t be making the hire! Nor will anyone on this website for that matter …

That’s two hires and a promotion … a lot to be determined yet. This is a big move. Major opportunity for UND to get better. Most have conveniently forgotten just how disjointed the offense was for UND. That side of the ball needs better coaching to match what Schmidt was/is doing on defense.

It’s pretty damn important… so yeah

Yes. Although, technically, he’s “here”.

Love this!!

Would be fine with either Danny or Gordie, but there’s a third option too… let it play out. Important, important decision upcoming …

Ok… you will be one of the few

Oh timing don’t matter, it’s the end result of the process that matters. Right now we on track… Also, FYI, there is no spring portal in 2026. The NCAA eliminated the spring transfer portal window for college football, moving to a single, shorter window in January (Jan. 2-16 for most) to increase roster stability.

Things are falling into place, ladies and gentlemen… All a part of the plan.

Made bad reads and bad throws … regressed in second half. Second season starting will help. More experience. He needs help also, need more playmakers on the outside and need to get more consistent in the running game. O-line returning should help a ton.

This type of asinine athletics spending from the second-tier college in North Dakota would be beyond ridiculous. Fargo is so full of themselves, however, they don’t even realize it … UND needs to continue to be proactive, though, because Fargo is so arrogant they could make things happen, even if it is this crazy.

No - for competitive purposes

Danny Freund remains too pass happy for many … including his most recent boss (Jimmy Rogers) With that said, UND’s passing game needs some work …

Yes - need to up this. Need to enhance this. Everyone can helps.

The ones who win championships? Who knows, they might still hate their offensive coordinator too… it’s a position that’s easy to think you know better than.

Wise words. Lots and lots of armchair quarterbacks out there.

“We lost some bad games with Danny as the OC … “ What were the DC and HC doing during these games? They obviously deserve plenty of the blame also. Preferably UND goes an offensive direction different than both Fruechte and Freund, but there’s also no way you can “guarantee” that Schmidt’s defense plus Freund’s offense couldn’t or can’t equal more wins than the combo UND had in 2025.

You’re wrong, partly. First half of the season they were probably a top 6 team, but by the end of the season (most important time of the season) they regressed offensively and weren’t top 6. Need to figure out the offense. Need to raise NIL funds and acquire some talented offensive players.

God it would be f*cken awesome if he came back to be the OC for Schmidt and his protege Kaminski…. A guy can dream can’t he?

Yep, but that’s just the coach-to-player communication device. OC (with technically the help of a group of players/back up QB) can signal in a change at anytime, as long as you have enough time to actuate it. Ultimately, the QB should be given full autonomy, but the coaches can have full control also if they want, meaning it’s only partially on the kids. The coaches need to shoulder their fair share of responsibility in the offensive failures. They have the ability to audible into the right call, and as such, UND should be able to score more than what they did. Many components here: execution, player talent, communication, play-calling, and syncing it all together.

This isn’t true. Rest assured. UND has a bonafide future professional football player on their roster still (as of now) and it is only a positive. Big things coming … More roster work ongoing. Get behind the collective and contribute. Every bit helps, especially with the match.

That’s an easy answer … money. Slam dunk you want 12 games especially if it’s an extra home game.

For good reason … UND needs to be much more dynamic at that position.

UND adds 12th and final game to the schedule. Long Island University home and home .. Was hoping for a bigger name but this will do. Long Island University did beat Eastern Michigan (FBS) last season and is an up and comer … Addition of home and home with Long Island University
