Oh, that's a keeper!

Hire him!

[UND Fan]

I should also add- I don't agree with Faison taking the time he has. He should have had someone named today. My point of post #1625 above was that FU has a few more applicants with connections to the program while Gene Taylor was AD than we have.

While I was certainly hoping the HC would be named this week, I still believe that there is a "method to Faison's madness" - he certainly hasn't been sitting on his hands the last couple of weeks (of course, the Hardee fiasco didn't help). As far as his interview is concerned, he isn't going to provide full the full story of what is going on.

Despite my having concerns about recruiting, hiring good coordinators and assistants before others may get them, etc., I would much rather wait a few days and get the "right" guy - the right guy to direct our FB program the next few years.

Some levity... Look at the resume that that Chris McComas resume he sent in. He sent it Tom Miller on twitter. https://www.dropbox....kota-resume.pdf Hilarious

That was pretty funny

Thanks, I needed that.

I would love to see what happens if Taylor was to circumnavigate the system. You don't think there are people waiting for him and NDSU to throw another middle finger towards the legislature and SBoHE for not following processes/procedures/laws/etc. Steam keeps gaining that it will be one of the cooridnators staying so it is likely a moot point but if not, he isn't going to get around the process.

I think all FU would have to do is hire someone as an assistant to Bohl then when Bohl officially leaves you just promote him to head coach. Sounds like something GT would try. Could even start recruiting right away

They should find a spot for that guy in the PR department, he's got skills.

I know not too many people are as high on DeBoer as they would have been three or four years ago, but it should be noted that his overall record as a head coach is 67-3. Regardless of what level you're talking about, that's pretty astounding. And he's still not even 40 years old.

He'd be in my top 3, with Phlu and Caruso.

I agree...if he applies he has to be considered...and I'm sure 67-3 has to get you some "points" as well!

He apparently did apply right before the deadline yesterday, per Miller and Nelson.

I've been wondering about him. I don't follow MVFC closely, so what's the deal with this offense since going to SIU? Where does it rank? What does he have to work with in terms of talent? Did it get better or worse after he arrived? Who did he replace (I can't remember who Dale chose as his first offensive coordinator)? Has it gotten better or worse since his arrival? Anyone have any insight?

Well then...of current apps he is @ #2 behind Pflu IMO.

The SIU offenses haven't been explosive under him, but have been pretty consistent--mid-20's to 30 ppg and mid-to-high 300's per game in terms of yardage. Pretty balanced between run and pass. Knowing how Lennon prefers to be conservative on offense and rely on defense, special teams and field position, I'm not surprised SIU hasn't had especially explosive offenses. UND was much the same way until the two years with Chappell and Dressler. I don't know how they've ranked in the MVFC, or how they compared to Lennon's first couple of seasons.

Keep in mind the defenses they have to play against week in and week out in the MVFC.

In seriousness he's in my top 3 of the applicants who have applied just cause you can't argue his success as a head coach.

According to his bio on SIU's website his team broke the school record for offensive yards in a single game in 2012, breaking the previous record set in 2010 which was DeBoer's first season as OC. Per the Missouri Valley's stats here are the rankings and offensive statistics for DeBoer's 4 years at SIU and the 2 years prior to his arrival.

2013

4th in MVFC in scoring at 28.5 ppg

3rd in MVFC in total offense at 384.9 ypg

2012

7th in MVFC in scoring at 22.5 ppg

8th in MVFC in total offense at 295.9 ypg

2011

Not to mention he's currently mentoring under the guy that won a championship for UND.

It appears that DeBoer replaced a guy by the name of Phil Longo (who was Bubba's offensive coordinator in Duluth before going to SIU with him in 2008). Longo left SIU for Youngstown State in 2010, but only lasted there one year and is now the offensive coordinator at Slippery Rock (DII). Looks like the offense regressed a little bit after DeBoer took over.

So Bubba gets the HC he probably looks to Longo for OC?

Maybe he is one of those guys who is a better HC than an OC, kinda the opposite of Mussman. If he gets some good assistants he could be a very good hire.

I've got him in the top 3.

like Bohl is a better HC than coordinator?

[UND92,96]

I have to think that if DeBoer doesn't get the UND job, he's going to be a strong candidate to replace Joe Glenn, who will be 65 in March, in another year or two at USD.

The guys at Football Scoop have taken notice as to the snails pace that this process has become:

[Westside]

Hire DeBoer, Muss gets to replace him as OC on Lennon's staff at SIU, which takes a nice chunk out of UND's buyout to Muss. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

In all seriousness, if Faison doesn't want to go the way of Pflugrad, then DeBoer is a very intriguing candidate.

I would be very curious to hear their reasoning and solution behind the comment that it "doesn't have to be done this way" despite saying that state law is involved.
