    Okay, I think we've beaten gfhockey's travel habits to death. Can we please get back on topic?

    You were the one comparing a Division III school to FBS programs. I did no such thing.
  3. fightingsioux4life
    That is not what I meant and you know it. And if I have to explain it to you, it's not worth the effort.

    Like they aren't doing that now? They just lost to Georgia freaking Southern at home! No way that coach survives the off-season.

    This worked for John Gagliardi at St. John's in Minnesota, but I don't think it would work anywhere else.

    Some food for thought on this cold Saturday night: Craig Bohl to Gainesville to clean up the mess that is Florida Gator Football? NDSU's current high national profile might make Bohl more visible to big-time FBS programs that are looking to make a change at the top. Is it likely? No, but if you wanted to shake things up, plucking a successful FCS coach out of the Midwest would do it.

    Nebraska might be looking for a head coach after this season; the natives are restless in Lincoln right now.

    The question is, can we get consistent performance out of this team on back to back nights? Or will we keep playing well one night and bad the next (or vise-versa)? If it's the former, we have a chance to salvage the season. If it's the latter, we are screwed.

    Oh please, let's not start that again.
  11. fightingsioux4life
    Oh, okay, thanks for clarifying that. I honestly need a translator to interpret some of his posts.

    There were FOUR WCHA Playoff titles during the Hakstol era (2006, 2010, 2011, 2012). We also reached the title game in 2007, losing on Blake Wheeler's diving goal in OT. Of course, we all know what happened in Denver the following week!

    The search for a FB coach is underway. Good luck, Mr. Faison, this is your first major coaching change.

    I think he is talking in general about the "hot goalie" excuse being used to explain away losses. I don't think you have said it, but a lot of people on here have.
  15. fightingsioux4life
    That's funny......that's what people said about Blais when he was hired back in 1994. Whoops, I am not supposed to talk about him on here anymore! Sorry about that.
  16. fightingsioux4life
    I have tried in vain to make these points on this forum over and over again and keep getting told that I don't know what I am talking about or that I don't make any sense or that I am "spoiled" or that I am not a "real fan" (this last one I will simply not stand for). But if people are satisfied with what we have now, to each their own. I will continue calling out bad playing and coaching whenever it needs to be called out. Period. End of story. Now, back to eating our own.

    I'll be there (again). I just hope our hockey squad is playing that weekend too.

    http://siouxfb.areavoices.com/2013/11/21/profiling-potential-candidates/ I like the names on this list. And I am not married to the idea of having to have FCS or FBS experience. Every coach (head or assistant) started somewhere, often times in lower division programs. If somebody can turn around a D-II or III program with limited resources and, on top of that, win championships, it is an indication that they are good at being the CEO of a football team (which is what the head coach essentially is). Being a coordinator or position coach is a totally different job and those skills don't always translate to head coaching (we just got a crash course in that with Mussman). Whatever Faison decides, I have confidence that he will do what is right for our FB program and the institution as a whole.
  19. fightingsioux4life
    Agreed.
  20. fightingsioux4life
    I am not saying Owens should be canned; I think he he's done a good job at a small, private school with fewer resources than UND, UM, UW, etc. But I talked to a sportswriter from the Colorado Springs Gazette in my hotel at last year's Final Five and he says there are some fans grumbling that the Tigers don't have enough postseason success. I imagine if enough big-shot alums complain enough, someone in the administration might get it in their head that a change needs to be made. My point is that contract extensions don't provide the protection they once might have.
  21. fightingsioux4life
    That didn't save Mussman's job.
  22. fightingsioux4life
    Denver....YES. Greeley......not so much.
  23. fightingsioux4life
    Why would they? NDSU is a big-time program at everything they do! They are no mid-major and if you think they are, Bison Dan, Johnboy and all the other FU trolls on here will set you straight!
  24. fightingsioux4life
    Leave it to Faison? Where is Leave it to Beaver?
  25. fightingsioux4life
    Which is one of the reasons we will have a different coaching staff next year.
