Have him call the football offices and talk to Cindy

Awesome. He's a wrestler. Can't have enough good wrestlers on the defensive side of the ball. That explains the hands and footwork.

The thing is, no matter how much we like the sound of the new hire it doesn't matter at all. Faison might find some guy who's name means nothing and doesn't look the part and isn't flashy but gets the job done. I'm excited to see who the hire is but I will temper my excitement or displeasure until I hear how things are going inside the program after he gets settled. Ps. Please hire Caruso.

Just watched his hudl. This kid is violent. Great hands and feet. Not super strong yet but fights off every block and uses his quickness as well as some very quick powerful hands. He's a bit of a tweener and it depends if we'll stay in the 3-4 or not. I like what I see from a purely competitive standpoint.

Had an offer from Air Force.

O hell yea. LSU baby.

How did he build such good teams at Duluth? Who was his recruiting coordinator their?

I don't want Bollinger because I don't think he's what we need right now. If he is hired and kicks ass I'll be first in line to eat crow. If the moon were made of crow, heck, I'd have seconds.

Doesn't seem very kosher to post a finalist list when the deadline has yet to come and the 'top' applicants have yet to officially apply. So what have you heard?

Again not a comment aimed at you or what you said. It is aimed at everyone who buys in to the whole 'NDSU is untouchable and UND is hapless' crap. We are a great hire away from being the best football program in the state again. They're clearly weakened big time right now and UND can overtake them if things are done right and the best guy for UND is hired.

Sounds like you're pretty informed about what's actually going on. Any more info you'd like to share?

Exactly. Perception is reality, if you think UND will always be a lesser program than it shal be so. If you expect and invest in greatness you will get it.

Just to clarify my statement wasn't about Bollinger. He's not in my top three, maybe not even in my top five.

It's still a valid point. Also coaching at a certain level doesn't guarantee quality. There are plenty of hs coaches out there who are better than FBS coaches. There's correlation but not causation.

For all of you 'the new coach needs head coaching experience' people Bohl had none and did alright for NDSU.

We need to hire Caruso before NDSU gets a chance at him.

Yea. This may or may not be a big deal for UND football.

Randy Moss would've beaten them on his own.

Honestly I've always had reservations about Bohl. He always says the right things and looks sincere but for some reason I always smelt something phony. In a way I'm not surprised. It's not quite as bad as tommy tubervile leaving a recruit and his family at a restaurant to go coach Cincinnati.

7-7

And boom goes the dynamite. Coastal punches Montana in the jejunum and goes up by three tds just before half. Somebody call the fire department, this ones getting out of control.

Coastal might just punch another one in before the half.

Montana imploding. Henderson just threw the ball into the face of a coastal player after he was tackled on the kick return. At least get your ass kicked with class.

Coastal up 2 tds now

Montana playing like they're cold and want to go into half
