Robert Nelson actual posted that after SS broke it.

Miller is technically wrong.

He didn’t like it that I broke the Caruso story…

[andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!]

Well, this has been a fun time.  Go SIOUX/HAWKS/UND!  Might have to think about getting my season tickets again.

You could say that’s “cap”

I’ll be waiting at the phone for your apology call

[Shawn-O]

Then I broke the Curt Weise story this morning and that was the last straw

Don’t look at the current staff then

That would be a mistake. You look at the current staff and figure out who the players respect and will play for. You need to know who are key recruiters. You interview them to see who can best help with the tradition.

What was the common denominator?

San Diego St. gave up just under 30 points per game this year…

It didn't go unappreciated.

ShawnO and I used it, amongst others, including gfhockey tail numberz, to build our ground breaking news releases!

I was responding to his comment about staying in one place too long

This guy followed Schmidt from Washington to SDSU and is from Michigan. Wonder if he has any interest in coming back to the Midwest.

Lots of decisions to make in a short period of time. Lots of effects to coaches and families and players

Huber would be another name to watch. From ND

Probably a good hire but I'm reserving judgment until I see more staff and some proof on the field.   IMO too much of the same old same old.

Agreed.  
 

There is nothing exciting for me on this hire. Hope he succeeds but I see no culture change.  Eric brings toughness and intenseness thats needed in the football world…..but eh.  Such a typical und hire.  Blah. 
 

Eric will be reunited to the constant Joel, Shawn, Travis and Carl.  Will he retain any of the coaches (buddies) that have high contributions to a yearly average 6.0 W -5.1 L team?  54%. This program needs a complete overhaul. Time to start with a blank canvas.

This...^^^

Was a DC for a few years at the top level of PHX HS FB before for going to SDSU

The issue relocation wise could be...PHX >>> SD >>> GF (I'm partial to the valley of the sun)

Let me go the Bueller 31 Flavors on this one. Think I might be able to get intel by day's end.

The 360 TwiX post of Schmidt in the U Dub hoodie will carry weight in this area recruiting. Coached at a big time program with a big time coach (#wedidntwanthim) in a FBS natty championship game.

Great hire IMO. @AJS this hire for the UND fan base brings some much needed juice to the program to revive some interest going into 2025.

2 things needed....better players/talent at skilled positions and defensively across the board and coaching decisions that pass the eyeball test personal wise, schematic wise and game management wise. 

[Oxbow6]

To @Cratter @Shawn-O @gfhockey and others who brought levity to this process the past few days....well done. Fun to read. Chavez...thoro...tail numbaz...

I know a number of these posters personally. Great guys who get it and don't take themselves too seriously but want UND FB to be great again.

Some here frankly need to lighten up. Goodness. Please for the sake of others don't show up at Christmas parties.

Better days for UND FB are on the horizon....hopefully.

I’m almost bored now with live that I don’t need to check the numbaz on tails

I do want to see Schmidt show some fire to the Dakota school coaches, like he did to the UC Davis QB in the D2 playoffs his senior year!

This is one thing I am hoping will be the big change is the personality of an aggressive ex player that showed that kind of emotion.  Who knows if it will work out, but I'm willing to give the guy a chance to show what he can do.  It's just disappointing that we aren't a few years into a new regime, as now we still have to wait until the new coach gets his recruits in place, although hopefully the portal can push that forward a bit, especially this year.  Hopefully he has some guys in mind from his time at the other places.

I don't buy into the theory that not moving up is necessarily a bad thing.  You don't have to look beyond Stig at SDSU (26 years) and Nielson (9) at USD to see coaches with longer tenures having big success at the FCS level.

100% agree.  I think the word on the street is that we have a dump fire going on with the program.

Living in this Echo Chamber it would be easy to assume that. I've been out among other groups. Word on the street I hear is our facilities are top notch, our focus on kids getting an education is right on, our support is good, for big games great, our coaching staff is respected.

We’re just here trying to help Tom and the 360 guys, cutting through all the misinformation.    We got our guy,

time to take the Dakotas back.
