Sorry but I don't think it's fair to Jake to compare him to Chappell. Reason number 1. Chappell ran a 10.54 100M in highschool, I'm not sure if Jake even ran a 10.9 100M. Chappell was also 200 lbs, Jake is the slightest RB I've ever seen at UND. Chappell did quite well against the legit D1 teams he played against (13 ypc avg at #5 UNI, 11.3 ypc at SUU with a 73 yard TD run) and was faster than anyone we've had in D1 anyway so I'm not sure how he wouldn't have had similar success. I know I pimp Chappell like none other but he was a once in a generation talent and we only got two years to see him play, Jake is just a run of the mill athlete.

Marcus was no slouch that year either.

Hardin had no where near the constancy or leadership of Dressler. Drops, pouting, disappearing from games, Dressler did none of that and that's why he was better. Greg was very good and had better numbers but just wasn't as good.

Hardin put up pretty decent numbers even with a huge target on his back and the qb play. The qb won't be worse next year so I don't think it's a stretch at all.

I'm sure that was apart of the first team meeting last August.

The only dogshit program at UND is men's tennis. A good coach is a good coach but not a miracle worker, sometimes to get a good job you need to pay your dues at a less than desirable one. Think Denny Green at prairie view.

Too much not fresh. It makes a difference to have a donut that is not fried in Canada then frozen and shipped and warmed in an ovan. Tim Hortons donuts are all show no go. The hot chocolate on the other hand is delicious.

What if a coach goes to a dogshit program and does mediocre instead of awful?

It really doesn't matter if they're lighting it up. There are more variables than a coach that go into 'lighting it up'

I'm sold. Hire him. Done deal. That was easy.

He should stay. He's gonna be thee guy with Hardin and Jackson gone. He will put up monster numbers if he stays.

Could you elaborate a bit more on that?

So was our Tim hortons comparable to others you've had? How do you compare it to Krispy Kreme? Personally I'm a huge donut fan but also a huge snob, after having Krispy Kremes nothing is the same for me.

Everything is overpriced there. Food is good though.

Literally I haven't the slightest clue so I'll go with 1.2 mil with maxed out incentives

Things are so serious around here these days. Yet none of us have any control over the process, might as well try and enjoy something.

That's a largely incorrect statement. Better get some quotes together of every single verbal the past three years that support your claim.

The kid we just got looks pretty damn solid if you ask me

MINIMUM of 150K not base of 150K. Big ol difference there.

At some point in everyone's career they had no UND ties. They have to come here to get them.

We have gotten as many commitments without a coach as we did with one... just sayin

So I'm getting sick of all the speculation about the new coach, who are our top recruits that we've offered that we need/can realistically get?

The team is showing signs of life finally but has yet to put together a weekend against a good team. The last few series haven't exactly been a murderers row. Hopefully this recent success turns into confidence for the younger guys and not a state of complacency like what we saw to start the year when the team was way over rated. It's interesting that during the win streak the team is only averaging 3 goals a game. The defense has been pretty good, if that continues all it will take is the scoring to click in for this team to be very dangerous in the way we all hope they can be. We won't know much about how good they are until the Miami series maybe. It's interesting how this power conference has caught alot of teams on down years in its inaugural season.

this may be the first time that I've ever seen HR come up in the process of hiring a football coach

I don't care what the coaches name is or where he comes from as long as he gets the job done the right way.
