Cup of Coffee with the Cowboys. I recall a conversation from Luke at that time. "he's the only starter we have that can actually move someone" https://wnmumustangs.com/news/2017/5/1/former-mustang-football-player-coe-signs-with-dallas-cowboys.aspx

If losing your long snapper doesn't get you motivated I don't know what will!!

Sweet!! I jumped in today too with the new HC being announced.

https://1883collective.com/get-involved/ General Information for all - The Collective is set up and UND Football has a new HC willing/wanting/advocating to use it. 1. need to not lose players/starters in the portal 2. need to find some special players. Both take money, and sometimes not as much as you'd think. You can dedicate to football only or do up to 2 sports. I have been talking about this for years and it is now established, legit, already used to keep several athletes at UND.

That means 22 years and 364 days ago I got in a bar fight with some buddies vrs fans from Grand Valley.

Big fan of Luke!! He didn't apply, though.

I am not in charge of hiring. There is about a 15 year age difference between Bubba and Schmidt but honestly is seems like the gap is bigger. They are not very similar in my opinion.

Just defending a guy in the other direction. You would do the same for an acquaintance right?

What part of Schmidt's time at UND don't you like? The National Championship and All American status as a player or his leading Big Sky Defenses prior to being decimated by injuries. His Defense one season lost so many guys it was mentioned on Sports Center. Or, after UND is it his Special Teams Coordinator and OLB coaching in the FBS National Title game that folks have doubts about? UND might be too big of stage for him.

At least the Caruso love affair can end now.

Their team GPA tied UND?

Random new head coach is better than the 11 year HC. Sadly, this may be right.

Ya, sounds about right. 2017, Reyes out 4th game of year. All-American level free safety. That hurt.

The Schmidt years of D are coming back to me. Without some key injuries, Reyes and the other transfer safety, Zach Arnell, that was shaping up to be a really good D!! The NDSU cheap shot on Arnell was bad, hard to forget that.

Didn't Schmidt bring in Tillman, from Houston, who was one of the best players on D in 2014?

I only found through 2016 so far. The other years should be there, too, in the media guides.

The stats are hard to find but one is total yards per game, #1 in 2014. And the other is based on points given up, #1, in 2016. Sure Schmidt's defenses weren't perfect but to say below average appears misleading.

2016 Media Guide - UND has #1 ranked Rush Defense again and ranks #6 in the nation plus #1 scoring Defense in Big Sky.

Not sure what you are saying is true. Looks like in 2014 UND had the number 1 ranked D in the Big Sky. The following year UND had the #1 rushing D in Big Sky that ranked #7 in the nation. I haven't looked at the following years yet but both those results show a way above average performance.

He would bring a 4-2-5. Is that what you meant?

The DeBoer broad brush paints pretty wide on this site. Hilarious whoever posted the Bubba or DeBoer comments from 2013.........you were all in for Bubba. Was that just for 3 years or longer?

Resume Builder?? Isaac Fruechte Work Experience - Interim Head Coach, University of North Dakota 12/1/2024 - 12/6/2024

I would keep Big Time Shawny K. Kostich has the most knowledge about area HS coaches, other area college coaches, recruits, UND Admin, Alumni, and he's an awesome dude.
