fightingsioux4life Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 It feels like Christmas! I share your viewpoint, a change was needed. However, don't forget that this will be hard on the families of the coaches that are losing their jobs. Let us also wish them well in their future endeavors. I certainly hope they land on their feet. 2

gfhockey Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Wow. Just a sad day all around. I wish muss the best in the future...he is an offensive guru but hc was just to much!

UND-FB-FAN Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 UND is a class-act university and I believe this will be handled appropriately. Wish Mussman and staff the best moving forward. Excited about the future.

Maybe it's a rude comment, but it's the way I feel. It's my understanding that they will continue to get paid anyway so their families will be fine. Muss will surely find a job somewhere - he's a great guy. I'm just happy it won't be here.

I definitely understand your frustrations with the FB program; I have been very vocal about the need for a change.
CAS4127 Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Herald article - http://www.grandfork...ticle/id/278418 ??!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!!?? What does this mean?! Earlier this afternoon, Mussman tweeted "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." Is there more going on than peeps know of?! Makes it sound like he is relieved it is over and wanted out?! Thoughts?!?
UND-FB-FAN Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Dangit! Is it possible both UND and the Ag school will have new head coaches for the 2014 season?

Makes it sound like he is relieved it is over and wanted out?! Thoughts?!? I interpret that quote as meaning don't be upset he got fired, but be happy that he had the opportunity to be head coach and make memories through his tenure. 2

Yep, makes that makes sense!! Good luck to Muss and staff. Nice enough guy(s), just in over his/their head(s).
UNDBIZ Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 ??!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!!?? What does this mean?! Is there more going on than peeps know of?! Makes it sound like he is relieved it is over and wanted out?! Thoughts?!? I think it's just a saying, kind of like when a relative dies, it's a "don't cry because they're gone, smile because they were a part of your life to begin with" kind of thing. I think he knew it was over before today and is trying to go out with a good attitude. It's better for the university, athletes, and Muss if he goes out with a decent attitude. Nobody wants to hire a broken down coach who can't get over his old job.

Makes it sound like he is relieved it is over and wanted out?! Thoughts?!? I think he meant "Paul is dead" but I was reading his statement backwards.
UNDBIZ Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 It's sad that it came to this, but I'm glad that Faison was able to make the decision. Good luck to Coach Mussman in the future, I'd think he should be able to catch on somewhere as an OC based on past performance. Now UND can move past this and get the football program back to where it belongs. I look forward to hearing about the potential new hires and hope they are able to bring some recruits with them and hit the recruiting trail hard once they're hired.
choyt3 Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 I understand that a new coach is likely to bring in his own staff, but wonder what of the existing assistants. Are their contracts contingent on Mussman's? Not sure how that works.
UND-FB-FAN Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 The head coach gets to choose his staff in most cases. I believe the only way any of the current assistants remain is if the new head coach wants to retain them. Exception to this would be if Faison establishes the staff as inheritance for the new coach. Will be an interesting question asked this afternoon during Faison's press conference.
JohnboyND7 Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Is it possible both UND and the Ag school will have new head coaches for the 2014 season? hopefully not!

The Sicatoka Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 UND AD Brian Faison says national search for coach to begin immediately. Good. Search nationally. Hire the best applicant. UND 2.0
The Sicatoka Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Lest any of you think things just got easier allow me to say: No, they have not. The hard work of rebuilding a program has just begun. 1
