I’m just confused about the Fruechte love. A year ago he was just an OC for Winona State. Comes here, does fine. Most fans are annoyed with the QB situation. Seems to be well liked by the players. I met him once and he was nice. But what has he done in that time where he is who we want as our next guy? Was the Adam Theilen tweet what pushed everyone over the edge? Theilen going to come be his OC?

Adam Thielen is still in the NFL.

plus has connections to the vikings

Chris Kuper, Jim Kleinsasser and Brooks Bollinger also have connections to the Vikings...

I'm sure there was quite a bit of interest in this job and probably a fair amount of calls and discussions which weeded people out who weren't going to make it into the top three, so they never filled out a formal application.

Haha I know that but just seems weird that people are so pumped about Thielen supporting him. Like that’s great but doesn’t really get me excited.

it seems like Fruechte is very confident . He come across to me like someone who will have a successful career. 
what do I know

I wouldn’t just hire someone who is confident … that’s not nearly enough to imply you’ll be a good or great DI head football coach.

I agree with this, but he has more to prove before becoming our HC. I mentioned it yesterday,  if Bubba stepped down last year and we hired the OC from Winona State to be our HC we all would hsve lost our sh*t over that.

How much did Bubba micromanage the offense?

I don’t believe he did. Didn’t seem to be calling the plays. Mostly involved in decisions about going for it on 3rd or 4th down, fake punt, onside kicks etc. May suggest or veto a call but if you watch him on sidelines it didn’t look like he was calling plays.

This. Bubba was a defensive coach. Look at offense under Rudy, the offense did a 180 when Danny was hired. Do we think Bubba all of the sudden said hey let's run a bunch of trick plays.  Then as soon as Danny left we stopped running trick plays? No, it's because he put the OC in full control of calling plays, as he should have done. Fruechte called the plays, including that 2 point conversion.

I would be happy with either Tibs or Smitty.  Very happy they would consider coming back and helping the school get back to top level again.  I hope the money is enough to cover and get and keep great coaches.

What makes you think he is such a good choice?

Young. High energy. Can relate to young athletes. Former professional athlete so knows what it takes to be successful and play at the highest level. Can recruit. Can motivate young men. Did well with not much this year (QB situation was on Bubba). Well liked by everyone. 
 

He’s a star in the making imo. The exact type of HC I’d want to play for. All of that is going to help us get the type of recruits that the other Dakotas get. Just my thoughts

Serious question. Why are some of you who know literally nothing posting as if you do? 

This is what you get when there’s no other coverage, like zero.

Hey if Fruechte is hired, I will be all in on him. Just trying to understand the logic of the love for him.

If the qb situation was a bubba issue then I would be happy with fruechte.. if it was fruechte.. then I have very little interest in him even as OC.

On this note let me send out a flier and see what comes back. It's not 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon but close. 

This flier got me nothing but I do know Brad Pitt's brother if that gives me a bump in internet street cred.
