nodakhoops Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Josh Morton would be a great replacement. Alex Kringen will probably apply, bring back baseball maybe. Quote

Expand He's essentially packing his bags two months after announcing his retirement in the middle of a school year, right for Christmas Break. And likely 6 months of Facetiming the new AD with any help he might need. Quote

Expand The guy has a vision for UND. The cuts had to happen to implement the rest of the vision. I know women’s hockey was tough call but there are so few people that really care. That will severely offend a few people, but that is the truth. All of that money will be used to support MBB and FB and to a lesser extent WBB and VB in the future. 4 Quote

Timing with conference issues finally being settled and nickname issue put to bed, actually seems like a natural break point to give a new AD a clean slate. Expand Exactly. Outgoing ADs don't remain on the job for 3 more months, then another six as a consultant if there's friction or a forced retirement. Don't know the man, so can't comment on how personable he is or isn't but objectively he can claim an impressive list of accomplishments at UND, from successful transition to D1 to league affiliations and athletes' performance on the field and the classroom. Would like to see more on the fund-raising front, but hard to understand sometimes the animosity toward Faison. Some on this board not happy with anyone at UND since Clifford retired some 30-odd years ago. 2 Quote
