The Sicatoka Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Fruechte doesn't meet min spec of 8 full time coaching years. The posting closes Friday; I'd expect at 10 AM Saturday presser. Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Naming Fruechte the interim is to make sure the 2025 recruits have some sort of stability on Wednesday when early signing starts. The application deadline is Friday just before midnight. Interesting timing. Curious to when they will name the head coach. Do they do it before the Transfer Portal opens Monday the 9th, or after. I guess we wait and see. 1 Quote

Required to have 8 plus years for full-time coaching experience, think that eliminates Fruechte. Looks like this was his 7th, unless I did the math wrong. https://careers.und.edu/jobs/head-coach-football-grand-forks-north-dakota-united-states Alright, someone take the 8 candidates from Millers list (and maybe a few not mentioned) and see who fits the requirements listed. Go!!! Quote

The Sicatoka Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I predict a name we've yet to hear emerges by noon Wednesday. Quote
UNDhoops Posted December 2 Posted December 2 i know they'll never do this but i think they should hire someone who runs the option. we're never going to out recruit ndsu and sdsu so we need to do something different. 1 Quote

They won't do that...but Paul Simmons at Harding is a complete bad @$$!!! Probably not a good cultural fit in the upper midwest at a public school but the guy gets it done! 1 Quote

iramurphy Posted December 2 Posted December 2 1 hour ago, UND-FB-FAN said: The “next DeBoer” would have not gone 5-7 this season or been apart of a 5-6 (record) division II program. When you say the next head coach needs to be the best person for the job, that is incredibly ambiguous and unclear. When you say fortunately no one with that philosophy will be making that decision, then that is both an unjustified and uninformed jab at me but also failed insight on your part into the track record of UND’s recent hires. Since you may actually have UND’s attention with all of this, I would just say getting the best person is getting the person who best can a) recruit, b) retain, c) develop and d) coach student-athletes in real-time (need to be a good in-game head coach), and thus produce the most competitive teams possible for UND football, hopefully championship caliber, while also e) fostering positive growth and mentorship. In my opinion, someone who has been a successful head coach previously should be held in high regard, but certainly interviewing a good coordinator and selecting one who projects to be a good recruiter, developer, and in-game strategist is appropriate, we just DON’T want UND leadership to settle for someone who has UND ties only because they have UND ties. I would like to think you can at least appreciate that perspective and the possibility of it (based on the past), @iramurphy. Hopefully the leadership sees through that potential distraction. You are correct. I have stated more than once that we aren’t looking for someone with UND ties, we are looking for the best candidate to turn this program around. UND ties not required but not a disqualifying factor either. I have previously stated what I think we should be looking for in a head coach and we have listed similar qualities. Where we seem to differ is that I don’t care whether or not they have “UND ties”. 1 2 Quote

My favorite thing I saw all weekend was the twitter post by GVSU of their linemen walking into the stadium shirtless in the snow...and then Harding shoving their "crap" in with 475 rushing yards and winning by 22 with a passing stat line of 0-1.

If we hire a coach who doesn’t think we can “out recruit” the other top FCS programs then we probably won’t. We recently have started to win some of those battles. The coach who we hire better be able to coach FB. He needs to b flexible enough to adjust schemes that will put his personnel in a position to succeed. 3-4, 4-3, even 3-3-5 when needed and whatever combo of offensive schemes that fit his personnel. 4 Quote

HoopsFan03 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Does Freuchte get any change in pay for the time that he is the interim head coach? Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 "Minimum 8 seasons of full-time collegiate coaching experience" This rules out Fruechte. He's only at 7. Quote
