sorry, thought either ira or vince had posted that BB had been contacted and was not interested, but I'm old and memory is not as good as it used to be. my apologies.

"Bubba's dream job" on this board seems much like the comment that Bollinger "bleeds green", but wore red (red of one of UND's biggest hockey rivals at that) and turned down the job at UND. Not hating on Bubba, just agreeing with jdub about that particular comment.

definitely still on the DeBoer bandwagon. on the other hand, if Schweigert is the choice, defense is where the Sioux need to concentrate their effort, so would be ok with Bubba as the choice. can't imagine, however, how a "National Search" comes down to 2 finalists from the same school that are coordinators for UND's last coach.

UND: 66 (offense) and 90 (defense) last year according to Darell's post earlier today.

Using Northern Colorado as the measuring stick??!!! How far has this program dropped?

Would you rather have a long tenured head coach that puts a good, not great, team on the field? Competitive almost every year, maybe a conference title or three, playoff appearances but no national championships? Or would you prefer a coach who, because he brings conference championships and national championships to UND, is gone to bigger and better things like Wyoming in 5 or 10 years? Is this the choice facing Faison and UND at this point? The question seems relevant. Schweigert, according to gfhockey, bleeds green and the UND head coaching position is his dream job. There is little to no reason to doubt him, his sources have been pretty good so far. DeBoer would be using UND as a stepping stone (same source), but since he has 3 national championships under his belt in 4 years (albeit NAIA), the upside potential seems greater.

Agree that point does not exist. Players, no matter how good they are, are on the team for a maximum of 5 years. Coaches can be in place for more than a decade.

Rhetorical question?

maybe this is why New Mexico State's football program is a bad while the rest of NMSU's teams aren't...

Was Schweigert also asked/invited to apply?

so the probability that the next coach was "not on the list" of 70+ names has fallen thru? does that mean that the pay scale could not be raised enough to bring in Faison's target?

Have there been any on-campus sightings of potential candidates - Schweigert, deBoer, or anyone else?

Thank you

took another look at the Army OC Ian Shields: http://www.goarmyspo...elds_ian00.html

A question for those who believe that Mussman should have been fired in October so that applications could have been rolling in sooner... with ND's open records law, who would have applied for the job when there was a month or more left in their team's season?

So one would also think a call was made to Caruso, who has not applied. And possibly Wristen.

And won 3 national championships in 4 years. 2nd in the other.

sheds a different light on the situation. this would disqualify him from the final 9, imho

Does Faison have to interview all 9? If so, does a phone call suffice? Can he only interview 1 if he so chooses?

^^^^^ this ^^^^^

would someone please explain - - - why is Eades gone? I never heard what happened.
