Haha wow. It was me. Could have been the right guy. I thought it was an offensive coach but he definately looks similar but its hard to remember. Ill pass the picture around to who was sitting with me. To balance out the player defections thread I guess this shows white people do all look alike

I'm not outrage police, but right or wrong this is just an awful conversation to have

If they actually make a decision tonight I'd bet there would be a press conference in the morning. Faison is pretty good at controlling the message. It would be pretty tough for everyone to keep it secret for very long.

I post freely with my name but I doubt who I talked to would be as comfortable with it as I. If you think its crap that's understandable and fine. I think some people probably appreciated I shared it, some think its crap. Its a tough audience to please.

Spoke with people deeply involved with the football team. They said Bubba's interview was very good and that people who've coached with both think its a no brainer. --》bubba.

I think its little naive to think that Danielle Irle couldn't contribute anything constructive. She is pretty useful with many things such as compliance and academic stuff. She is also a very competitive person. I think that's unfair, imo.

Lignite for that Nodak touch

Bring back the bison killer. All hail Bubba.

i'll second

SFI says interviews aren't until this weekend. No hurry.. not like anyone is leaving or anything.

Should we start taking bets on who and when it happens? My guess is Bubba, tomorrow 3 PM (probably wishful thinking on timeline)

I voted Bubba. Might smoke up my wrong end, but I know SU players who played against his defense who said they hope he doesn't coach at UND again.

Fair points... I guess I don't think going up a division is quitting, but I respect the view on the other side. Does that mean Ryan Chappell would be excluded from greatest RB discussions?

I do kinda like that. For the rumor about Mussman going to SU (which has to be ludicrous doesn't it? ...doesn't it?), offenses we had were pretty good with him. Let's assume the new coach is Bubba (there's worse bets in the world right now), Bubba obviously knows Muss, any chance he's the OC. I know it would be unbelievably odd, but his kids go to school here. I think he genuinely really liked it here. idk... He's gonna be an OC somewhere probably.... just throwing it out there

Dustin Iverson favorite the hashtag #takeyourtime and also tweeted "I just want a coach. Is that too much to ask for..." I would bet a shiny penny that Brian knows this second who he's going to hire. Let's just get it done with, so he can get to work and save what's left.

Daryl Brown now according to SFI

How about this... If I'm taking an all-time UND receiving core I'm taking Tracy Martin, Weston Dressler, Greg Hardin, Brady Trenbeath, and Golladay (Yes, despite recent events)

Wow... Well, there's that. I guess the intensity of this thread needed to be upped.

i'm heading to grand forks saturday, I imagine Brian would want the guy hired by then so I can congratulate at Judy's.

If that's a backhanded comment about Judy's I'll resort to fistacuffs

Talking to people who played under Bubba, they say he's awesome. Talked to a couple who recruited him and they didn't think it was very awkward (like was brought up earlier). They say he'll gets you jacked up. I liked Pflu, but that doesn't appear to be happening. I think Bubba has the best chance to bring in a solid staff despite people thinking he's a different version of Lennon. Which, btw, I would love. I don't know why Lennon's name is being used in a negative connotation here, he's still the only championship coach in UND football history, so I'd love to have Lennon 2.0. I understand if you are afraid of Mussman 1.2 or 2.0 or Mussman Vista, but I think that's pretty unfair. All three are different coaches with significantly different personalities. Mussman's was beat to death over the past season, so I'll let that lie. Lennon commanded respect calmly. People I know who played who him would just keep using the word awesome, and the phrase "you didn't want to let him down" was repeated. Like I said earlier Bubba is the most animated of the three. All different, but make the easy connections if you want pretending they are just a re-run of each other. I mean, Mussman was exactly like Lennon, so it all makes perfect sense.

Pretty hard for a coach who isn't hired yet to convince people to stay.

Say it ain't so?

3 kinds of lies in the world: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics

Chappell at one point had like the 3rd fastest 300m hurdle time in the nation or something rediculous like that. The football team wasn't the only team on campus disappointed when he wasn't eligible anymore.
