gfhockey Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 notice most of the guys quitting aren't even from around here....shows the guys we were recruiting..when the going gets tough quit! maybe they liked muss to much and getting blown out of games idk
UND-FB-FAN Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Losing Golladay was the final nail in the coffin. What in the world! This is beyond "normal" for when a coach leaves! Basically a mass exodus.... I'm honestly really disappointed. I want DoBoer, he can build a NC program. Bubba will "work" too

Why would we ever want to recruit someone like that?
gfhockey Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I want them to recruit team players that play for the name one the front and on the helmets then the one on the back see hak and his teams he has 15 NHL draft picks and cant win a title Hardwork beats talent when talent doesn't work!

Will you still want those things if the team has a losing record every season? Players that naturally want to play for UND are a rare breed now with NDSU stealing away the majority of pride and support of North Dakota and Minnesota kids.
gfhockey Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 that's why we need a local guy to restore those connections bubba!
bison73 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 The fact that some of the players are leaving before the new coach is even hired is quite alarming. Those players are fine to leave in my opinion, because apparently they aren't bought into the program very well. The thing is you really dont have a program right now considering your performance the last couple of years and the loss of your coaching staff. There is no direction or leadership. Big void up there right now and there isnt anything to buy in to.

RollTribe Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Tried to post a tweet from a phone, didn't work so well. Daryl Brown is also transferring, according to Tom Miller.
The Sicatoka Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 There is no direction or leadership. Big void up there right now and there isnt anything to buy in to. Talking football, I can't disagree.

There is no direction or leadership. Big void up there right now and there isnt anything to buy in to. The lack of direction or leadership is what concerns me - probably moreso a lack of communication with the players. Does anyone know if anyone from the AD's office has been communicating with the players regarding the coaching search? It doesn't seem like it.
NineTime Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Not much communication with the players, the guys are as frustrated as everybody else. There have been a few email updates sent to the players and families asking them to be patient but other than that they are finding stuff out thru the grapevine. The team went from having poor leadership when we had coaches to an apparent total lack of caring at all from the top all the way down.
Sioux Nation Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 This team would be better off if every DB left! Geaux-Sioux, I think Fletcher left the program a while ago. Here is my opinion on the at least part of the reason for the defections. Who has left so far? This is not a prejudicial statement but a fact. I know that Mussman, Schluesner, and others played by two sets of rules. Jackson has "quit" on the team during fall camp each of his first two years. Golladay will not be playing on Sundays......no work ethic. I truly believe the kids who have quit have done so because their guardian angels are gone and there may be some accountability with a new staff. Mike Edwards was not happy and probably not too many players sad to see him leave. This program needs a fresh start with a new attitude. It may be a tough few years, but the right coach can build the program. I too hope an announcement comes this week. 1
sioux24/7 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I have heard that Jackson was not a good locker room presence heard he was a cry baby.
jodcon Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 This good riddance attitude is absurd. This isn't basketball. You need too much depth to be successful and quite frankly this team was short on that as it was. These player defections will prove disastrous when, not if, when injuries occur. Spot on, I mean seriously there are 2 commits right now and what...possibly 10 leaving already? That's bad math. With the jump others have on recruiting and commits this year and people leaving this could turn into a year of signing who they can get and being forced to play a lot of young guys. This could be a rough year, especially if any kind of injury bug hits.
Cratter Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I have heard that Jackson was not a good locker room presence heard he was a cry baby. Isn't that the player guys here were saying was "pouting" on the sidelines? More Hardins less Jacksons?
sioux24/7 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 So our WRs look something like McGill, Young and Carr.... Who else is there with potential?
dmksioux Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 So our WRs look something like McGill, Young and Carr.... Who else is there with potential? Casey Young, maybe move Tyhree Ivory back to receiver?
Hambone Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I would say the WRs will be McGill, Young, Carr and Ivery. I'm really hoping that Carr decides to tough it out - within the next two years he will be the man and he has so much potential to be everything that a Hardin/Dressler was.
Oxbow6 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Talking football, I can't disagree. Starting to question leadership from the very top on down in the AD with the way things have gone with this FB program especially with whats transpired over the last 4+ weeks. GT is a complete ______ (fill in the blank) but........... Just saying... 1
gfhockey Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 do I ask the question? fire Faison? hire purpur!
fballfan09 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 The guys that left will be missed on the field, but definitely not in the locker room or off the field. From talking to current and former players, the only ones that were liked by everyone are brown, Harris, Peterson, and isenberger 1
Hawkster Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Spot on, I mean seriously there are 2 commits right now and what...possibly 10 leaving already? That's bad math. With the jump others have on recruiting and commits this year and people leaving this could turn into a year of signing who they can get and being forced to play a lot of young guys. This could be a rough year, especially if any kind of injury bug hits. I said there very thing 3 weeks ago or more and more than a few people said "Don't panic, we have until signing day". Yes, I'm worried about this, I feel this recruiting class will be a disaster and coupled with the defections, this digs the hole a little deeper.
tnt Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 do I ask the question? fire Faison? hire purpur! Wait, it looks like he might be hiring your man. Looks like your reputation will be on the line if your guy is hired and it doesn't work out. Oh wait, you already have a reputation ... 3
