I can be easily convinced though. If the spin is, “young” 58 and checks every box, not only from a coaching side, but also charismatic, etc. Going up against the SU’s, the new coach needs to be dynamic. Is Hoffner? Quote

Dustin Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Let's put some (likely) assumptions together: The new HC will be a current D2 HC (Bolte is my preferred at this point). The OC will be Fruechte. Who's the DC? Special Teams? Quote

HawkBlocker Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I met Hoffner when he was at Minot State (briefly). In my short interaction, I recall him having the “It” factor as a coach. Seemed confident with a bit of swag. 1 1 Quote

sioux24/7 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 If it’s a defensive head coach, I can see retaining Fruechte, Olson and maybe Kirkwood. If it’s not, I think it may be just about best to clean house. Quote

He doesn’t have the “It”. No it was not a Saloon either! Quote

No idea if we're doing this correct. Been a lot of Fruechte OC talk on here, so it seems most are comfortable with that. After all, there must be a reason why first-year Fruechte was chosen interim instead of more seasoned staff members. I also think it's plausible that the new HC maintains at least one existing staff member for player and recruiting continuity, and Fruechte seems most likely. Really what I was after is who people want leading the defensive side, which (ironically) has been biggest disappointment for many many years. Quote
AJS Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Let’s will Travis Johansen into existence. Seems like the home run pick. Someone whose goal is to build and move up. 3 Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted December 2 Posted December 2 it's getting a little confusing with all the wishlists.... johansen doesn't meet the criteria ? correct? Quote

HC chooses his own staff. Present staff knows it. HC may keep some of present staff. Depends on who and how many he brings with him. Keeping guys who can recruit and who are liked and respected by players can help with transition and recruiting. 4 Quote

Shawn-O Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Caruso’s youngest is going into final half of senior year of high school. Timing could be right if he’s interested. He’d warrant serious consideration. One 6-6 season isn’t a “downward trend”. Quote
