bincitysioux Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 The team was told the told the two candidates would be interviewed and given tours prior to Christmas Eve with offers given by Christmas Day. The remaining guys are ready to get this thing rolling and start the new era. Seriously? Wednesday? 1 Quote
Shawn-O Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Seriously? Wednesday? It's beyond insane at this point... Quote
Cratter Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Mainly just the fact that has many more years of successful experience both as an assistant and HC at different levels. What disqualifies Bubba in your eyes, other than the fact he is a former employee of UND? Not discrediting. Just disagreeing with "better resume." Both been head coaches once. "more year of success" basically because DeBoer is younger? He will continue to have "successful experience" as he gets older. All things consider they are equals right now. One coaches offense one coaches defense on the same team. And in conference play DeBoers offense ranks higher than Bubbas defense. One wrote "coach of the year" on his resume. One wrote "coach of the conference." One coach wrote "beat opponent from a higher classification on the road." The other had to leave off he lost to a lower classification team at home. Quote
jodcon Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Seriously? Wednesday? I had a feeling when the Assistant opening was closing Dec. 30 it was going to be after Christmas before they committed, going to be a whirlwind when it finally happens. Quote
Cratter Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 And if you want to talk crazy stupid intangibles, better looking people generally have more success. Don't shoot the messenger haha Quote
homer Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Sioux Football Insider guys are reporting they would be surprised if Bubba is not the guy named after the weekend. Who to believe gfhockey reporting Deboer or Fritz and Oskie reporting Bubba? Should be an interesting day tomorrow. Quote

Who to believe gfhockey reporting Deboer or Fritz and Oskie reporting Bubba? Should be an interesting day tomorrow. Considering the track record of both... Quote

Who to believe gfhockey reporting Deboer or Fritz and Oskie reporting Bubba? Should be an interesting day tomorrow. i've been thinking we would have a hc a little after 5pm on the 11th....what makes you think anything is happen tomorrow or the day after that or the day after or the day after that......??

Hayduke Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 God, at this point just hire ANYBODY!!! Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Christmas freaking day? Wtf is Faison planning? Leave a lump of coal in one's stocking, and a Sioux helmet on the mantle for the other guy? This just keeps getting weirder. Quote

Hawkster Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 I just can't believe how this drags out. I'm about ready to lose interest in UND sports the way this is being handled. Quote
NDSIOUXFAN1 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 If my memory serves me right, Roger Thomas was announced as the new HC just before Christmas. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Seriously, everyone needs to calm down. We will have a new head coach within the next 2 days. So sick of all the people complain about the process. Get a life. We are getting anew coach and are going to start the next chapter if UND football. Complaining about the process is pretty stupid if you ask me. 2 Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Well I guess it's a good thing no one asked you, since you clearly don't get it. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 My point is in the grand scheme if things, does it really matter if we hire a coach it 28 days or 38 days? No. Just think if Faison hired a guy in 10 days. People would be complaining that he should have taken more time to evaluate his options.i trust in the process and that Faison will get the right guy. He has had a pretty good track record if hiring good coaches that have had a lot if success. Football should be no different. What exactly could he have done different? He has followed a pretty normal hiring process. Get a list if candidates, narrow the list down and so phone interviews, then come up with a final 2 for face to face meeting and make his decision. When you are talking about hiring a football coach that you are looking to turn the program around, you are gonna make for sure you get the right guy. And Faison is making sure he does that. If you don't like the process, maybe apply for an HR job in the UND athletic department and make some changes. In the mean time, relax and let the process play out. 3 Quote

shep Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Good post!! I agree. It's taken a long time, we are impatient people, but it appears that a good coach will get hired and while I'm leaning DeBoer, I think UND ends up with a new face who moves the program forward whichever one is hired. Quote

So was it really unrealistic to expect (and I'm being sarcastic here): a pain-free process that includes firing the current coach and staff, having a national search that brings in top candidates from around the country, losing no ground in recruiting, having daily public press conferences sharing all the details of what was happening, usurping the standard state hiring requirements, preventing any current players from transferring and having it all done in 10 days or less. Is that too much to expect? 1 Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 It's the intangibles that we will never know, I.e. players lost to transfer or potential recruits that have made up their mind to go elsewhere during the last two weeks while the program continues to spin its wheels with no leader. If you think it's reasonable for HR and Faison to take 2 weeks to narrow the list, make 9 phone calls, and conduct 2 interviews, well, all I can say is congratulations on your government job. Quote
