Nodak78 Posted December 5 Posted December 5 6 minutes ago, UND-FB-FAN said: Not too sure on that… who’s he going to hire to fix the mess of a defense? Plus his offense had a few duds this year. I agree in that there’s potential since he’s young, but it’s too big of a risk compared to what else is out there and who else likely applied. You just don’t simply hire someone cause their young … text Issac I'm sure he will tell you his DC. Will the defense we had the year with slight improvement, Offense moves from 30 points a game to 37. Baldwin will not be the hire. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted December 5 Posted December 5 Who would Baldwin bring in for defense, if he’s the guy. Everyone’s worried about who so and so will bring in or will they keep the staff in tact but little talk about that side with Baldwin. Pretty confident he would gut it, so that’s likely a positive but do we know who he could bring with him? Quote

HoopsFan03 Posted December 5 Posted December 5 Fruechte is our guy Chavez knows it. Just pretending to be thoro with the tail numbas 1 Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted December 5 Posted December 5 So here all along Chaves hired the right guy last year as his 3rd choice (after Freund and Landry) … who would have known? I’m not buying it, but wouldn’t surprise me if it happens. 1 Quote
ND-fan Posted December 5 Posted December 5 I don’t know who next coach is going to be but my guess is Fruechte after signing day with all recruits signed there has to be some confidence number of coaching staff will be here. Chaves is going through motions of looking for new coach but I think this has been decision unless somebody came up to be good to be true. He also agreed to pay existing staff extra month and if they were really going to blow things up they might not have done that. Only other surprise would be if kostich is considered.d for the job. Even if fruechte is the chosen there will be number of coaching changes because I have to believe defense is going to see changes in coaching and somebody like Kostich might move on where he has chance to move up. I expect announcement by Friday. Quote

I'm ok with it I think part of keeping all 23 is recruits know there will likely be a lot of FBS guys looking for a home so probably wise to stick with the offer they had. Nonetheless still a great job by the staff and impressive that we didn't lose any. With the right coach and the way the portal might be this year we could turn this around quickly. I was going to somewhat mentally check out of UND football this off season, but now with the HC change I'm excited again! Hopefully we nail this! 1 Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted December 5 Posted December 5 The recruits were more likely to sign here and follow through with it after hearing there was going to be a new head coach… plenty of excitement with the unknown. For decades UND has settled coaching vacancies internally or with heavy connections, would be nice to see them not do that for once. Remember … inbreeding? 1 Quote

We may have less big names hit the portal than we would have for this exact same reason. Definitely hope Seidl stays. He could be deadly as the starter. Quote

I'm ok with it I only doubt this cuz he doesn’t meet minimum quals set in posting unless he really does have 8 years full time coaching experience. Is strange they’d set it beyond his experience if he was being considered 1 Quote
NewUndFan Posted December 5 Posted December 5 7 hours ago, gfNDfan said: Isaac kept 23 out of 23 signees - Chaves won't spend up. Done deal! I'm ok with it Let me get this straight. We are excited we kept the 23 recruits that were recruited by the previous coach that everyone wanted gone ? I think UND needs to stay away from any part of that and look for some fresh new blood. Let a new coach come in and get his own recruits. The transfer portal this year is going to have alot of options. 1 Quote

Herder (aka Bison fans) 2024: Baldwin! Fool me once ... Comes down to list of applicants … If you have one (or several) proven winners as a head coach (Caruso, Woodley, Bolte, Hoffner; heck even Baldwin) in your applicant pool, can you really in good faith turn them down for an unproven coach (never before a head coach) in Fruechte, who over the past 2 seasons (1 UND, 1 Winona State) has been associated with a losing season each time ?? I’d be really really cautious with this momentum he’s gaining due to signing day, it seems unwarranted… Quote
