Reading the persuasive posts on the Bollinger side and have lost some resistance to the idea. Then started to remember the hype on this board about Joe Mollberg 2 years ago - all the potential he was going to bring to the Sioux. Then thought a little farther back about another QB who was going to transform himself into a great QB out of a California Junior College like Aaron Rodgers named Joey Bradley. So, I'm getting a little gun-shy about these highly-hyped prospects who have not proven themselves. (However, Braden Hanson worked out rather nicely and Hendricksen developed into a very strong QB)

So, in the end, not feeling all that confident about Brooks Bollinger. Not to say he (or Mollberg) will not develop into the head coach (quarterback) that so many here are saying he will. Mollberg will have 3 more years to do it. Bradley never did turn out, for UND or the places he has been since. So, would Bollinger spend 2 or 3 years learning how to be that head coach everyone is saying he will (I sure wouldn't say that he won't), then take UND to the playoffs in 4 years or so. Who can say that he would turn down an offer from someone like U Wisconsin as soon as he becomes the head coach people on here are saying he has the potential to become. Or will he not become the awesome coach some on here are proclaiming that he will, a'la Bradley?

Yes, there are no guarantees that whomever is chosen to be the next head coach will not move on in that timeframe (much like Bohl probably will very soon) or will work out at all. Not expecting guarantees, just want better odds.

[disclaimer: this is only the opinion of someone who has never coached or even been coached since high school]

I don't think people were anointing Bradley as much as some make it seem. Maybe a person here and there but I don't remember people thinking he was going to lead us to the promised land.

ok, maybe I am not remembering as clearly as you, but there was a lot of praise being lauded on Bradley before he showed up on campus. it may have cooled a little after spring ball. doesn't change the basic tenet of my post - someone more along the lines of Caruso, Leipold, Wristen, Pflugrad, even Kleiman; or from BCS ranks like Cotton, Aranda, Claeys if the salary could meet their standards.

It is all speculation and someone who looks like a winner could end up not being able to get the job done. Craig Bohl wasn't NDSU's first choice, they offered the job to Terry Allen. Allen turned it down and is hanging onto his job by a thread with his career record of 33-56 at Missouri State and being retained partially due to financial reasons.
