Sioux94 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 We all know Schmidt has done such a great job with the defense since taking over. Turning the defense around in just one year with basically the same players. Do we think he would stick around until Bubba retires......to possibly become the head coach? Or will he take an FBS job or something sometime to move up? I've wondered this for a while, and tonight I'm watching Arizona - Arizona State game and watching Arizona which is a 2-9 team put up 56 points on ASU and over 500 yards rushing. I've seen ASU's defense look like crap ever since I moved down here (4 years ago) and started following them. They were nationally ranked a couple years ago, but their defense has always been poor. Every time I see their defense s**t the bed I can't help but think how unfair it is that their defensive coordinator likely makes 2-3 times that Schmidt does. I think you could have put UND's players with Schmidt coaching them in this game and had better results, with what should be less talent.

UNDColorado Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I would imagine the football staff would be in for some sort of raise / bonus after this season because a top 8 seed is likely out performing initial expectations.. Faison would be smart to take extra good care of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Schmidt is such a stud. His halftime adjustments are flawless. We're lucky that he played at UND. Extra incentive to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 My gut feeling is that he will be head coach after bubba. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a perfect scenario and I hope that happens. However if he got a big payday opportunity before that couldn't fault him for leaving for something that 'might' happen a few years down the road. Since he played here and has strong ties hopefully that will help keep him around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND92 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Bubba has 10+ years of coaching left in him (my opinion). I don't see coach Schmidt sticking around that long. By the time Bubba retires, Schmidt could be a coach (DC or Head Coach) at a school larger than UND and wouldn't then take a pay cut to coach UND. Hope he stays but I don't see it happening.
