Hi, this is Kalen Deboer calling...

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

Thanks Coach DeBoer; but, why was he never a play calling coordinator for you?

Have any moving PODS been called for in key cities of interest? 

No one has mentioned dog sled yet, but that would be a little too obvious.  But, wait.........

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.

That would be ridiculous. Why announce a nationwide search and then go internal?

It's worked really well for WBB, right? (sarcasm)

Seems like they wouldn't have put the criteria how they did then, as he doesn't meet that.

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

Yeah that's the one thing that is likely preventing it from being him.  Why out under "Minimum requirements" 8 years of college football coaching experience knowing that Fruechte only has 7.  Ideal situation would be hiring a HC that is going to keep Fruechte on as the OC.  Plyers really seem to like him and keeps a familiar face in the locker room among coaches.

Kelly, Tank or Miller should know.  They won’t, but they should…

Current players liking him and avoiding an exodus (when players leave in the portal every year nowadays anyway) is an awful reasoning to determine next head coach. 
 

Sacrificing one year of recruiting (which wouldn’t even need to happen since all committed anyways) is always okay as long as you hire the right guy, as you then get multiple good years in return. We ain’t going all in on 2025, but certainly want the team to be as competitive as possible right off bat.

Not what you know but who you know … 

sound familiar? (e.g., UND football head coaching vacancy 2013…) 

Tough to get out of our own way here at UND. It’d be nice to take the next step and actually compete and beat SDSU and NDSU.

Did Deboer take his existing DC with him when he made his move to other teams? If so that might be why, he was already happy with his existing DC so there wasn't really an open spot for Schmidt to get promoted to. I don't know if that's the case or not, just saying.

Alabama and DeBoer currently has 3 co-defensive coordinators … apparently Schmidt didn’t was to join that … 

[Siouxperman8]

If the requirement is that our HC had to be a coordinator for the #2 team in the country last year or for Alabama this year we're going to have to up the ante quite a bit.

More realistic is that there's a fair amount of room between those positions and what we should expect for experience level for our new coach.

Also nice to have an endorsement to the President and AD from Chris Kuper.

I think the OC is getting way too much credit. This was an awful season. Take away Murray State and I’m not sure the offense was top 80 in the country. Teams knew they could sit back on defense. Montana State actually got caught in that. Of course they bounce back from that loss quite well and make a playoff run. Add in some unexpected monster TD runs and stat padding on 5 yard passes for the spunky QB and having Belquist during the season and the offense was not where it could have been. Maybe I’m the only one that watched Youngstown game. That last play was legendary. But hey, there is a cool video in the “war room” on signing day.

Shoot, was starting to really get excited over Caruso. 

I'm ready to roll with Freuchte. Honestly, my biggest concern is although he's only been here a year, if he's not for a full blow up defensively. Staff included, because of the relationships he's built. If he is, make it official!

Are we talking Chris Kuper here? 

[fightingsioux4life]

An internal hire for a program that has been average at best for several years is totally unwarranted and indefensible.

It would smack of bargain basement budgeting, which has plaqued this athletic department since we moved up to Division I.

It's time we step up and get serious about the FB program. Enough screwing around.

[AJS]

If they think Caruso is the guy. Get it done. Better not come down to not being able to pay.

If UNI can pay the Drake guy, UND can get this done.  That school’s no joke.  Tons of money.
