jdub27 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 If Faison gives Jones a contract extension.....it is FAISON who should be cleaning out his office. Then the new A.D. can get rid of Jones.I have seen absolutely zero indication of that being a remote possibility at this point. Quote

UND-FB-FAN Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Maybe jones needs to yell and jump around more on the sidelinesLooks like a clown, in my opinion. It's just too excessive and, most importantly, ineffective. He does that while the opposing coach is sitting down with a 20-point lead. 2 Quote
sioux24/7 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 If Jones were to be let go, who are legitimate candidates? Two that come to mind are Walthall from MSUM and Craig Smith from USD. Quote
UND92,96 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Even Tom Miller acknowledged Jones is on the hot seat during the Herald's live chat going on right now. Quote

UND92,96 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 really Smith will drop to a lower RPI conference and his 185k salary to coach at und where the HC has never topped 100kOne-year contracts in South Dakota. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) One-year contracts in South Dakota. I have never heard of this before. That sucks for South Dakota and coaches. Edited December 1, 2015 by sioux24/7 Quote
UND92,96 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I have never heard of this before. That sucks.It's a problem for them. Similar to ND's open records law, which discourages many presently employed people from applying for high-profile public jobs such as coaches, a.d.'s or university presidents. Quote
UND1983 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 really Smith will drop to a lower RPI conference and his 185k salary to coach at und where the HC has never topped 100kProbably not him. But the next coach is going to make around 150K if past history of pay increases holds true. Somebody who is worth it will make more money. Quote
hoops44 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 One-year contracts in South Dakota. smith took a pay cut and assumed the one year contract risk to take USD job...Do not see UND likely to top out at 125k for nex HC Quote
UND92,96 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 smith took a pay cut and assumed the one year contract risk to take USD job...Do not see UND likely to top out at 125k for nex HCI don't expect Smith to come to UND. We had our chance and Buning blew it. But I do think the next coach gets $150k. Quote

UND-FB-FAN Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 smith took a pay cut and assumed the one year contract risk to take USD job...Do not see UND likely to top out at 125k for nex HCEverything you say consists of pessimism. First it was Brian Jones is a great coach that isn't going anywhere.Then it was Brian Jones may get fired, but it won't be until the end of the season if he does. Now, you're implying Jones may get the axe but you're also saying UND is a lowly destination that won't be able to hire any quality replacements because of low RPI and a low projected salary.Quite frankly, with that track record, I don't think UND men's basketball fans have to worry too much about what you're saying. 3 Quote

Shawn-O Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Any thoughts on Boschee coming over from BSU? I know his stock might be down after last season...Just trying to think of some of the not so obvious names. Edited December 1, 2015 by Shawn-O Quote

I like Nigel, but not sure he 's quite ready for the UND job yet. I would substitute Craig Smith for Nigel Jenkins, assuming he's 'gettable', which may or may not be the case. Picking from those 4 would be a nice start. 1 Quote

And he oddly doesn't belong amongst the other three for some reason. Edited December 2, 2015 by Cratter 1 Quote
