Who would UND hire?

I looked back at some old threads. There was a poll for Deboer/Bubba and Deboer had the majority on this forum. 
 

If the best person available happens to have UND ties, then hire him. But we can’t have what happened last time, as I feel the fact that Bubba had UND ties had too much weight in their decision.

No question. Honestly, can’t put any weight towards UND ties, with 2013 being the prime example of why.

That should be plural, … brothers.

[gfhockey]

Remember, we change the nickname to host home playoff games how many home playoff games that we hosted
 

also, we need to hire someone that’s a winner you can’t teach winning I’m sorry to say, but Bubba has never been a winner check his record at Duluth, southern Illinois, etc.

Why can’t it be a proven D3 college look at Leopold?

Honestly, with the current facilities, and soon to come online future facilities, and if the salaries can be improved slightly, UND football would be a very attractive job. This is true even for coaches with no ties to UND previously.

Wouldn't UND fans want to have a legit Division I FCS coach that is a proven winner? I know it would never happen, but Montana State's head coach is from 25 miles down the road. He'd look really good on the UND sideline. I know it will never happen because he's an Ex-Bison Player.

Agreed - I'm certainly not a mover and shaker in Sioux athletics, but I was personally lobbied by the gobc several times.  That group is strangely silent now after 10 years.  That certainly moved the needle for us to hire a 22-21 coach instead of an up and comer.  However Chave's decision to extend Bubba after a 5-6 season is the main reason we are mired in mediocrity now.

No reason for him to come here. He is already at an excellent FCS school. His next step is likely either FBS or NDSU.

Purple cows head FB coach. 

Born in Esmond, ND; salary would be in scope.

Brian Wright at Pittsburg State could be an intriguing candidate.  Nice blend of experience at various levels and familiarity with the Midwest.

Or Deboer would have failed at UND and it would have ruined his college coaching career. We will never know. Also we never would’ve known how long he would have stayed at UND if he was highly successful.

heck even Danny would be gone if he wasn’t so loyal to UND. There is a reason he was appointed heir …..
