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

Eastern Washington

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.

i hope you are right!

If it's all about Canada, they what about Blue Bombers terrible coach Kelly?

Mills may not be in your final 9 or final 3, but his credentials and experience should qualify him from a points list. He certainly has FBS and even BCS experience. Also agree that Dewitt should be in the mix. Why go with Lennon 3.0 when Lennon 2.0 was such a failure? edit: Why go with Lennon 3.0 1.3 when Lennon 2.0 1.2 was such a failure?
