Interesting stuff on Furrey regarding recruiting: New receivers coach Mike Furrey is “doing a terrific job in South Carolina,” Hartley said His Bio: http://www.herdzone.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/mike_furrey_842935.html

Your right my bad

Faison said hire by Christmas. Pittsburgh plays there bowl game Dec 21st. Speculation more cash for salary? Timing is everything. Maybe he is waiting for Dec 22nd.

Bart Andrus looks pretty good. He has developed teams from scratch at a high level. Maybe he needs more cash to take this gig.

Pittsburgh vs bowling green play dec 26th. Forget the bowl name. Is this a factor in waiting.

gfhockey must be on his second beer.

EMU is making a decision this week. maybe Wristen will be available?

I wonder how much Tibesar makes as linebacker coach? He was a little busy last night to send his application. I know just wishful thinking.

My thought is if Faison doesn't make the hire by the end of the week, his choice is still coaching and can't leave his present position or even apply at this time.

I think a decision should be made on Wednesday. The decision in NDAC land cuts both ways for UND. The sooner Faison makes his decision the better.

Does anyone know of the current list of applicants? Did Caruso or Bollinger submit?

Furman ties it up 7 all

AC leads 7-0

If UND wants pflugrad as HC we better hire him before this game is finished. Montana may want him back.

I found this interesting on one of the candidates for UND HC position. Wristen is interviewing for the EMU position tomorrow. http://www.chieftain.com/home/2073599-120/wristen-pueblo-job-csu

This past season he was an asst coach for Gilbert HS. Not sure if he was paid or just helping out. He has some consideration for the HC at UTEP. Is it possible he would be interested in OC position?

Try Vince Lombardi. Played at Fordham and a little bit in the pros. Not a bad coach. Just saying.

Zero correlation - really??

there is a bust factor with any candidate. i agree the upside is huge with Brooks. I am totally amazed that some are questioning Brooks as inexperienced. He was raised by a college football coach. that is where he gained the poise to be a great college player at Wiscosin and smart enough to play as a backup on 6 years in the NFL. He will be a good recruiter and will hire the right coaches for the defense.

this should be a good match up. i dont know which team will win. but having watched both RBs, i would choose Zenner.

I think Brooks is a good fit. He can walk into any living room in ND, SD, MN, WI, IA and they will know him. He grew talking to his father D2 FB coach his whole life. How many conversations did he have with his father on strategy at college level while he was in HS. Start 4 yrs at QB FBS Wisconsin. 6 yrs NFL. Recruiting will be very tough this season and I think Brooks would command attention. Oh ya only two years as position coach. Brooks is smart and he will hire the right staff and the check will be there to get them. I not saying he is going to be coach, but UND would be getting a winner. Brooks is a gamer for sure. I sure Faison has a number of candidate in mind and Brooks is probably one and only one of them. I think we will get the coach we need to move forward to the top tier of FCS.

He was OC for the Bison under the Babich era. Also OC for South Dakota for a couple of years.

lets open this up for a good search. Brooks has good ties to WI, MN and ND. He sure was a leader at Wisconsin.

Ditto Monday Morning let the seach begin.
