Went back and read it you’re right, it’s more of a plea 

Correct, I would be shocked if that is the number.

I just don't like the idea of an internal hire.

Me neither but the Muss comparison is beyond a reach. I understand the parallels but purely with personality funding/conference affiliation and facilities we can’t compare the two at all.

Maybe the 360 guys know something we don't?

You are right. I am just beyond frustrated with this program and the whole athletic department in general. We must get this right.

That’s unpossible… we know all!

It just seems like it is going to be - Fruechte.  I don't know if that is good or bad.  Miller was interviewed at half and he thought that it could be announced as soon as tomorrow.

I had $300k in mind. Coordinators around $125k. I want the proper investment made.

That’s the one thing everyone on this board agrees on

That would be bush league.

Chaves made a bad extension and this new deal with Bubba basically spreads his buyout out further. With his job on the line I just don’t see why he would go with Fruechte.

If Fruechte is Chavez's guy what juice does he really bring to the program and fanbase?

Fruechte Vikings jerseys.

Watching the Oregon Penn St game and let me just say that I will snap if the new coach doesn’t emphasize the TE in the offense. TEs are dominating modern football and we treat them like the forward pass is still illegal.

If we were a top 5 FCS program, it would make sense to hire internally. But we are not. So it doesn't make sense.

Ask Adam Thielen

I don't know if getting FB advice from anyone in Carolina right now is a good idea

It’s not that I don’t think he would be good. I just can’t get over the optics. We need a hire with great optics and a coach that doesn’t look like it’s running down his leg every game.

Blame the ownership and management in Carolina for that dumpster fire.

[fightingsioux4life]

So all this talk about a "national search" was just a farce to begin with?

What is Chaves' obsession with internal hiring? It smacks of high school thinking.

Someone want to do a wellness check on @gfhockey

Been quiet lately 

[BIGSIOUX]

Maybe need to track tail numbers into MSP

Baldwin had one year of HC experience at D2 level after leaving EWU, where he was the OC for 4 years.  It was literally an inbred hire that we all despise. 

He did quite well at Central Washington that one year, though, as the head coach. Not quite the same. The “inbred” choices here are all guys who have never been a head coach, and they’ve been most recently on losing teams as an assistant. 

[The Sicatoka]

Is Bill Chaves in Grand Forks? Have folks been tracking the wrong planes annd airport?

I need to be clear, Miller did not say it was going to be Fruechte - only that interviews were today and an announcement could be as soon as tomorrow.  Miller did not give any idication of who could be.

Which Miller and which half?  Or is this  a ruse?
