Wondering how that all works when new coordinator will come in the fall..... Wayne Nelson just indicated on the Herald's live chat that Kelling was not at the first practice on Monday, and that an official announcement of his status could come this week.

UND92,96 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Great now who will talk sense into mannsau.... he was a far better player then coach UND's pass rush and run defense were very good last year. In his co-coordinator role, Mannausau is responsible for the front seven. From the outside looking in, it would seem he must be doing a pretty good job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan68 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I would like to see us add coaches with more D1 experience. I realize that there are lots of good coaches at other levels, but I think those with D1 experience could add insight to the talent level of athletes that we will need to compete every year at this level.

It's not D1 obviously but it could be sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDvince97-01 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Great now who will talk sense into mannsau.... he was a far better player then coach I'm curious what you specifically think Mannausau has done wrong or is doing wrong as a coach? What would you do differently? Are there certain philosophies or techniques that you see that are flawed? Situational playcalling? Coverages, fronts or blitzing packages? How about nickel and dime? Personnel? Please let me know which it is. I know I'm curious and I'm sure many others on here are as well. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeletor_24 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 word is Jeff Richter will be brought in as Kelling's replacement, he has been with Dosch at NSU in Aberdeen, SD So I guess the dream of some big time DI asst is not going to happen. But I am glad it is someone from the program who knows what UND FB is about and will be passionate about getting our team prepared each week/season to be successful.

geaux_sioux Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 what's with the hate towards mannausau? i actually really like him. He's a great guy and a good coach. I was being sacastic about how 'informed' gfhockey sounded. And the Defense is smashmouth like the good old days with Digger so he is doing something right.

fightingsioux4life Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Will we go with just one defensive coordinator now or stick with that stupid "Co-Coordinator" system? I have never liked that arrangement and I still don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bincitysioux Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 If you do a search on this site, you'll find that Coach Lennon was the one that originally implemented the Co-defensive coordiantor position, after Tibesar left, putting Mannasau in charge of the front 7 and Kelling in charge of the secondary. By all accounts, Kelling was actually the guy that sat in the booth and called the defensive plays up until the 2010 season. Prior to the 2010 season, Coach Mussman stripped play-calling duties from Kelling and gave them to Mannassau. That could explain why he wanted different gig. Look at the stats. Throughout the transition to DI starting in 2008, North Dakota has had an improving run and pass rush offense, while the secondary has continually regressed and become a major liability. IMO, Mannassau needs to be given full authority over the entire defense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnboyND7 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Our D sure is one hell of a Defesne. Reminds me of the Bubba schweigert days!!!! Your D is not a hell of a defense...your front seven appears to be pretty dang good though. Remember the back four. UND got torched through the sky. Fix that and then you can brag up the D. Might be a question for a different thread but I'll ask it anyways...what is UND's current outlook in the secondary? Do you guys have reasons to be optomistic or pessimistic or whats the scoop there? Thats the guy from the Lennon Administration right? Brings up bad memories for me as a Bison fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler is the major question he could make or break the safety position for years to come. We can't continue to play 10 -12 yards off the receivers and hope to be a good defensive team. There was no shut down mentality at all - things were a little better last year, but we play so loose we get the death of 1000 cuts - giving up chunks of 5-10 yards almost at will at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
