That would be a good choice

Maybe signing day success was the final interview…

With applications closing on Wednesday and possible announcement soon after that, would that exclude all the coaches whose teams are playing in the FCS and DII playoffs this weekend?

58 years old ?!?!

The upside is that DeBoer has had much more impact as a head coach than he had as a coordinator. Maybe Schmidt could be the same. Hope that coordinators from NDSU, SDSU and maybe even USD apply and get consideration. Bring in the culture of winning.

Arizona State was a dumpster fire under Herm Edward’s. They are in the Big 12 Championship game after being picked to finish last in the preseason poll. Kenny Dillingham turned the program around in 2 years Jedd Fisch took longer at U of Arizona , but he also elevated a team without history to new heights in 3 years. It can be done.

Do you really want Chaves in charge of the search and hiring?

Well, let’s see who is the next person up. Chaves is “on the clock”.

And when it comes to developing talent, when the Minnesota player of the year and the Wisconsin player of the year are sitting behind Romfo, what does that say about the ability of the QB coach to develop the position? Wasn’t Freund the QB coach as well? Does it say that the QB coach can develop an ND 9-man QB, or does it say that the QB coach cannot further develop a player with great high school career?

Maybe the committee was looking at possible attendance indoors in Fargo vs outdoors in Brookings in December.

Would Belquist be in contention for the Jerry Rice award if the QB had a better arm? Asking for a friend.

Is there someone on the staff now that would be a likely candidate to move up to DC? Flueger? Dosch? With all the bring back Freund talk, would Pawlak be a candidate? is there someone who could turn the defense around?

Dunno. Gotta ask gfhockey.

The gobc has put their collective thumbs on the scale again.

Or at home

Let’s check the UND at ISUr thread and see if Saturday matters oh… wait…

Depends… Arch Manning is (like Kaminski) a RS Freshman, and was one of the top 2 high school recruits in the nation. He is still waiting behind Ewers (also a junior like Romfo) at Texas. Why would Kaminski not be willing to be a 2 year starter as a Junior and Senior? On top of that, Manning has gotten playing time and had on-field success for the Longhorns, so you would think he would be less settled as a backup, but sounds like he will stay at Texas. I get why Feeney left, same class as Romfo and we have seen how little playing time the backup QB at UND gets.

Yep. The biggest stumbling block is a lack of an invitation. Agreed.

If NDSU and/or SDSU (and even USD) along with the Montanas and maybe Idaho moved to FBS, all indications are that UND cannot afford to make the move with them if the AD can’t come up with $1MM buyout. Doesn’t show that a $5MM move up fee would be possible. disclaimer… doubt NDSU will get an invitation, but UND is not prepared to be ready if they do.

And looking at recent results, the same could be said for hockey.

You should change your name to Nostradamus.

When the gobc forced Faison to hire Bubba.

The DeBoer ship has sailed… Is there any chance in the world that UND could lure Central Valley’s Brent Vigen back to the state?

Was Belquist open in the back of the end zone?

OK. Next question…. When the Hawks are rated in the top 10, what is their won-loss record as a top 10 rated team under Bubba?
