UND92,96 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Speculation is fun, I'll throw Joe Glenn and Van Diest from Carroll out there as two replacements. I hope they don't go looking in DeBoer's direction. I shudder to think what that guy could do with those resources... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Diest, Glenn, Deboer... Any of those guys would/will strive in Missoula. Scary with any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodcon Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 2010 UND opponent Montana is now looking for a new coach, as Bobby Hauck has reportedly accepted the UNLV head coaching job. Death Valley of coaching, nobody has been able to win games in Sin City. Good luck with that Bobby. Papers should be interesting here tomorrow with speculation.

Witt Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 ....here is what I've heard from the NAIA world....(regarding Montana, etc) Word I got is that DeBoer (and staff) are comfy where they are at, right at the moment anyway..(NDSU was the hard rumor for them, but unless that comes on hard here soon, word is that it's not gonna happen....not a fit)....and that while offers are out there, there's nothing that's seemingly a perfect fit for their coaching interests..at this moment. DeBoer could go as an OC (and his asst Morrell as a DC) to a few different places....but time will tell if Kalen wants to be an OC again (like in the past), or with his success as a head coach (56-1 in the last 4 years, 3 National Titles) if he's rather wait out his ideal fit for a head job..likely at the FCS level. (USF goes to D2 in the 2011 season) MVD from Carroll....was gonna interview (Montana asked to speak with him), but then he saw it was gonna be a dog and pony show for the opening, and he withdrew interest. He's not about the glam and spotlight too much..as neither is Morrell, mentioned above....(he would have been a legit candidate though, fantastic leader of a program) Seems that Robin Pflugrad (Wide Recievers Coach UM), Brent Pease (Asst. Head Coach / WR Coach Boise State), and Dave Doeren (DC Wisconsin). The default answer seems to be Pflugrad, as the lead horse..but certainly they have options. Of course other names might not have risen to the surface..as the last few coaches they've had weren't obvious selections heading into the process. Glenn is in AZ apparently and has no interest in the position. Later Sioux Folks....have a good holiday..stay safe in this messed up weather..

Shawn-O Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Thanks for the perspective from that way, Witt. The NDSU arrangement with DeBoer and Co. that was rumored sounded like the most awkward thing I'd ever heard in my life, no surprise there about it not happening. Should be interesting to see what happens with the Griz, sounds like they are trying to get it done by the end of the year at the latest if not sooner.

UND1983 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 South Dakota 2010 Football Schedule Sep. 4: @ Central Florida Sept. 11: @ Minnesota Sept. 18: Northwestern Oklahoma State Sept. 25: @ North Dakota State Oct. 2: North Dakota (Dakota Days) Oct. 9: @ UC Davis Oct. 16: Northern Iowa Oct. 23: @ Southern Utah Oct. 30: Northern Colorado Nov. 6: Cal Poly Nov. 13: @ Lamar pretty good home schedule here for USD All around tough schedule, minus the NAIA game. By the time they get to us they may be pretty beat up. Tough way to open a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witt Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 NWOSU on the Sept 18th....Patrick Crayton's old school back in 2003 (they beat USF in the semis)......they wont just lay down, storied NAIA program looking at D2 in the next 4-5 years. They were on probation this year for an illegal player in 2008, but they would have won their conference this year on the NAIA level and been a playoff team. I realize that doesn't hold a lot of weight in the FCS world....but they are better than S. Oregon....as a point of reference..and had the leading RB at the NAIA level this year....a JR. (their head coach had a heart attack a few weeks ago..still recoving....kinda hairy deal....has beef with the AD apparently as well, despite having a good record..odd situation) Anyway....think I might come down to watch that NWOSU vs USD game....see how NWOSU stacks up...my initial thought is 17-20 point dog on the road.

jodcon Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 On the Montana coaching subject, UM AD Jim O'Day said he has a list of 25 legitimate candidates, and he wants to have a coach in place before the start of the American Football Coaches Association convention which starts Jan.10. O'Day hasn't revealed any of the 25 candidates, but besides the ones that Witt mentioned (Pflugrad, Pease, Doeren) the most thrown around have been Alabama Offensive Coordinator Jim McElwain, Utah Offensive Coordinator Dave Schramm, and former Toronto Argonauts and Rocky Mountain College head coach Bart Andrus. One of these 6 seem to be the most likely successor, Doeren and McElwain would demand a significant raise from Haucks salary and Pease is also interviewing for the Offensive Coordinator job at Arizona State, so there are some issues within that group also. What does appear written in stone is that whoever gets the job will have UM or Montana ties, O'Day stated "To bring somebody in from the outside that doesn't even know where Montana is located or doesn't realize where the heart of the program comes from will not be a viable candidate in my eyes." They've set up a selection committee and met Wednesday, and will secure more information on the candidates over the holiday break and reconvene on Dec. 28. So as of today that's where it's at.

star2city Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 South Dakota 2010 Football Schedule L Sep. 4: @ Central Florida L Sept. 11: @ Minnesota W Sept. 18: Northwestern Oklahoma State L? Sept. 25: @ North Dakota State L? Oct. 2: North Dakota (Dakota Days) L Oct. 9: @ UC Davis L Oct. 16: Northern Iowa L Oct. 23: @ Southern Utah L? Oct. 30: Northern Colorado L Nov. 6: Cal Poly W Nov. 13: @ Lamar pretty good home schedule here for USD With new QB could easily see USD going 2-9. A 5-6 record is almost best case. It may be a good home schedule, but the overall schedule is a killer. There's not even a weekend off during the whole season. Almost every team except NW OK St and Lamar will have more talent. For UND, it's almost perfect that they schedule NDSU the weekend before: otherwise it would have been USD's week off. Also, they'll spend a lot of emotion at the Fargodome before meeting UND. The USD-NDSU game is absolutely key for their whole season.l Two FBS schools in Central Florida and Minnesota to start off with a new QB? For recruiting and media both make sense, but not in the same year and not right after each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakotadan Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 I watched the Idaho game. It has to be one of the best games I have watched in quite some time. The game was very evenly played and went back and forth for the entire 4 quarters. Gutsy move by the coach to go for the 2point conversion and the win. It sure paid off!

UTSA's move to bypass the Southland could also keep some Southland dates open - even with Lamar starting football.

Easier to go to Northern Illinois or USD. The Alerus will be short of customers again this year I fear. I should be at all games but Northwestern St. Sure the schedule isn't perfect but its better than the last couple years. Southern Utah is much improved and gets better every year and UC Davis is a nice home game. I think if the football team is improved which it should be and wins games, I see much better crowds and support than last year. I think next year will the start of some fun years with UND football. Its going to be a young but very athletic team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this years playoff selections tell us anything its that all you have to do is play FCS teams and get to 7 wins. They can be the worst team in the country but they all count the same.
