honestly what do we lose by this process taking so long? after this season i think it couldn't get much worse. I trust faison and think there is a reason he is taking his time.. trying to get his hands on more money will only expand his options, especially as bowl games start to be played and put an end to some teams' seasons..

I am really happy that there are guys like wharton and iverson in the younger class, gives me some hope that we will at least have leadership on the team in the coming years..

If we lose Golladay I will lose all hope. I really think he has NFL potential and would break Hardin's records... We lose him and Jackson and probably Carr, then what?

If i had the choice it would be close to the base salary that Hak gets. show the fans that we are serious about reviving the football program, that football AND hockey can succeed at the same time. I would love to go to a great football game in the afternoon and then a great hockey game later that same night.. i know it's not going to happen, i'm just glad that the salary will be higher than what muss was getting. but heck, the spirit campaign went like $20 million over the goal, so why can't they take out a million of that over a few years to get a contract for a coach that we wouldn't be able to get without stretching our budget? it would definitely raise my 'spirit'

luckily Miller graduates this year, hopefully making room for sparks, vaarner, and sharp..

what good does playing presentation do for UND?? they'd be better off scrimmaging against their own D1 players...

Another 'Super Bowl' win for und, as you can see from the amout of posts in this thread, it was indeed a Super Bowl..

Exactly, its like they don't plan a thing prior to playing and just figure it out as it happens..

Overrated on the road big time. Looks like UND will have to win the regular season if they want any shot at winning the BSC tournament. I don't understand what it is with Jones' teams that they can NOT win a game on the road... still hope down 7 now but not looking good....

Thank you!!!! Everyone on here is panicking, and I'm sitting here glad he's taking his time. I think Faison knows exactly what he's doing and is going to make the right hire. I think he's smart enough to realize (especially now after what happened in Fargo) that spending more time and money on finding someone will be worth the investment.

what do you think the base salary will be increased to??

What could be better than posting to this board?!

I agree with you that there are plenty that like him just because of his name... but i also think that a name can bring life back to a program, can be appealing to recruits, and be appealing to assistant coaches. I realize that there are coaches with a lot more experience that have applied, but with the way this program is going what happens if we hire a guy that the casual fan doesn't recognize and he doesnt produce results in the first year or two, then they continue to believe that und football will always be second to ndsu.. i realize that it is a bigger risk hiring brooks, but i think the reward with him could be greater if he does pan out. Im not saying he should be the guy for sure, but i think that he could bring some life into the program that could help sooner than later. I guess i like to believe you have to risk it to get the biscuit

you don't think brooks has never had to handle in game adjustments? because i think the quarterback makes in game adjustments before almost every play at the NFL level..

exactly. no matter the age, (most of the time) when someone grows up around a town and a team their whole life, that person would still do anything in the world (but still following the rules) for their team to win. I think Brooks has that and that is what this team and town needs IMO.

Is the Summit even going to be a conference anymore?

And how many years has NDSU been recruiting D1? You'd think they'd be a few wins higher than that..

yes some guys leave every year but usually not guys on full rides that saw playing time since they were RFr.... If this keeps up next year may be worse than this year...

Its not looking very good from what ive heard....

Anyone heard of any others taking the easy way out?

Burn!

Huff needs to get going, yesterday seems to be carrying on into today so far.

150-90= 60k more. Sure some HS coaches may make as much as you say, but the cost of living in most other parts of the country is much higher. 150k a year in ND will get you a hell of a lot more than 150k a year in Florida or California for example.. Just saying.

Funny how the bison fans absolutely disappeared from the time UND beat their a$% until now..

Too much turkey? Zero atmosphere? Up too late last night? I'm just glad this wasnt a conference game..
