Buning, Faison and Chaves.

All with underwhelming records of hiring.

Faison wasn’t too bad. Didn’t he get vb back to prominence and got mbb and wbb yo the dance

President Armacost is by far the best President since Tom Clifford. Looking at the more important issues, Enrollment is growing, donations are up, new buildings and remodeling continue and our nationa

SS.com hasn’t endorsed anybody. It would be foolish to endorse a candidate before we even know who applies.  That is an example of why school officials across the country aren’t interested in wha

Snap poll: blue heart for Schmidt, green arrow for Caruso, red arrow for neither.

Buning did a mean push-up. 

He didn’t know the deadline to apply for d1 so it was delayed a year

i asked him why and he said he wasn’t aware of the date ‘Uffda

Faison had some bright spots.

The other two? Not so much.

Other than bungling the FB hire he was actually quite good.  Was instrumental in the formation of the NCHC.

That’s my guess as well. @USTBench What say you? 

I don't know if he put in, but Caruso would be a good fit. His kids are out of the house and I don't know that UST has any immediate plans to move on from the PFL. It has to be tough going from the Athletic Department's top priority to an after-thought after UST decided to flagship hockey and basketball and build a new baseball/softball complex, while football mires in a non-scholarship league in the most fertile recruiting area in the MVFC. Caruso is a winner and familiar with the culture of the MVFC (though he coached at NDSU/USD pre-MVFC), and is an excellent recruiter.

That said, he's extremely comfortable in St. Paul, his job couldn't be more secure, and his wife has been battling some health issues. Guessing he's not going anywhere.

Buning didn't hire Mussman.   It was done by the interim or I think it was co-interims after Buning was moved out.

Not to mention, I believe he took us from the Big Sky to the MCFC and was instrumental in the formation of the NCHC?  Plus, opening of the HPC.

Thank you. I’m hopeful our AD reached out, sold him on it and urged him to apply.  At least I think that’s what AD’s typically do.  Was unaware that his wife’s health challenges were ongoing.

Sounds like the deal fell apart over dinner at Harry’s last night.  It’s Freuchte as the front runner now.  

I told you to have @gfhockey set menu and order for the table.

I think she's in remission, but there's always that risk I suppose. Caruso has great passion, great intensity, a little PJ Flecky for some people's taste, but the results speak for themselves. I just think Drake and Butler raised their level when Caruso came in and won the league with mostly D3 guys. Also, the issue with the PFL is your best players have one foot out the door. Their non-conference games against the Big Sky/MVFC are basically auditions for scholarships elsewhere. You're fighting over players with the NSIC.

Stepsis going to UNI convinced me that money wouldn’t be an issue.

I am really thinking its going to be Fruechte.  And that would be a bad thing.  Still gives us a coach that wasn't a former player or coach (I mean technically he coached a year, but he just got here.  Still an outsider).  Also, likes saves the exodus of players hitting the portal.  Plus, the current players seem to like him.  If its someone else, that will be fine.  But I think Fruechte is the front runner.

Taking way to long to be fruechte unless he has the same agent when he was a pro and made Chavez roll his pants up yoo

I'm heading out to the ski hill for the rest of the day.  I'll make sure my fellow ski patrollers are on the lookout for anybody wearing green in groups of two or more.  I'll also be in some of the lift lines with my facial recognition app.  I also said to alert me if they see anybody skiing in a suit and tie.  Chaves is sneaky but I'm one step ahead of him.

How deep is Fruechte's rolodex? By my count he would need to bring in at least 5-6 assistant coaches to fill out the staff. No way he can keep the status quo...especially on defensive side of the ball.

Hi, this is Kalen Deboer calling...

I have a recommendation for you on the job opening...

He’s gotta be pulling down around a half mill in San Diego…
