  1. from the SIU board:

    Re: DeBoer and Schweigert finalists for UND job

    icon_post_target.gifby oberkfell » Thu Dec 19, 2013 2:37 pm

    I don't know who I would rather lose. Probably neither at this point.

    Although DeBoer has bored me to death over these lean times at SIU, his offense is usually effective. Not exciting, but never the less decent.

    Schwigert's (Really Lennon's) vaunted 3-4 defense is puzzling. Appears to me it's a complex scheme that requires the right athletes, of which we have lacked recently. On the other hand, I spoke with a Defense Coordinator that said the 3-4 is no different than a 4-3 in terms of complexity.

    their board is not very active about this subject, only 16 posts in that thread. does their apathy say anything?

  2. Don't think Brooks turned down the job. Just wanted to clear that up.

    thought I remembered reading this...

    Bollinger contacted, not interested. Bubba is high on list so far, but decision hasn't been made.

  3. Don't think Brooks turned down the job. Just wanted to clear that up.

    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.

  4. "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.

  5. 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. :sneaky:

  6. 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.

  7. when do we reach the point where we would have just been better off keeping mussman?

    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.

  8. Besides Pflugrad, Who of the applicants is currently "lighting it up"?

    took another look at the Army OC Ian Shields:

    http://www.goarmyspo...elds_ian00.html

    Head coach Rich Ellerson named Ian Shields Army's offensive coordinator in January 2009. ...

    Since Shields's arrival, Army has not ranked lower than 16th in the nation in rushing, producing three top 10 finishes. His offenses have accounted for three of the program's 12 most productive seasons on the ground in terms of yardage and touchdowns, and three of the Black Knights' top 16 rushing games have come in the last four seasons. Three of the four units that Shields has coached since his arrival have finished among the Black Knights' all-time top 10 in total offensive yardage.

  9. Former Griz running back Beau Donaldson sentenced to 10 years for rape.

    http://missoulian.co...1a4bcf887a.html

    4 Montana football players accused of a gang rape potentially having drugged the woman; Pflugrad knows and doesn't tell his supervisors.

    http://missoulian.co...1a4bcf887a.html

    "But in January, UM President Royce Engstrom wrote in a draft of planned public remarks that then-Grizzlies football coach

    Robin Pflugrad had disciplined some football players accused of raping a woman, but did not report the incident to his supervisors."

    Quarterback Jordan Johnson acquitted of rape.

    So during Plugrad's tenure at Montana one football player was convicted of rape; one was acquitted and four were accused but not charged.

    However, when you take into consideration that the DOJ investigation found that the U of Montana police dealt with investigations of sexual assault so poorly that they rose to the level of a civil rights violation the fact that one player was acquitted and four weren't charged is pretty meaningless. The handling of the allegations were not conducted in a manner in which convictions could reasonably happen.

    http://www.justice.g...find_5-9-13.pdf

    But you know, Pflugrad is exactly who we should be bringing in as a coach at UND. An AD would have to be crazy to take that chance.

    sheds a different light on the situation.

    this would disqualify him from the final 9, imho
