F'n Hawks Posted Sunday at 02:03 AM Author Posted Sunday at 02:03 AM 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. 1 2 Quote

geaux_sioux Posted Sunday at 02:04 AM Posted Sunday at 02:04 AM 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. 1 1 Quote

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. 2 Quote

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. 7 Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted Sunday at 02:13 AM Posted Sunday at 02:13 AM 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. Quote

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. Quote

Who do we (and most importantly Chaves) honestly think is the best candidate to turn UND football into a championship contender? Quote
iramurphy Posted Sunday at 02:18 AM Posted Sunday at 02:18 AM 53 minutes ago, UND-FB-FAN said: Chaves historically hires D2 head coach, going back to Beau Baldwin at EWU and most recently Paul Sather at UND. I’d guess it will be a Midwest D2 coach or the lazy (and risky) move of Fruechte being promoted. Hoffner beat Bolte today, maybe Hoffner? From the very beginning (see my earlier posts), Schmidt has been the favorite. Too much fraternity support and now fundraising. It’s basically a hiring similar to Bubba - UND ties and is familiar to alumni. Justification used is it is “DeBoer’s guy” , although he’s not working for him anymore and cut ties … UND going with Schmidt could work, but could be mediocrity like with Bubba. We will see. Schmidt hasn’t cut ties to DeBoer. They still communicate and DeBoer said he is welcome to join him in Alabama. If FB Alumni were organized and “now fundraising “ I would know. That isn’t to say there aren’t FB alumni pushing for him to get the job, but probably just as many pushing for Tibesar. Quote
AJS Posted Sunday at 02:18 AM Posted Sunday at 02:18 AM I’m kind of in shock. I shouldn’t be, since Chaves apparently is doing the most Chaves thing possible. Like others have said, Freuchte might be the right call. I hope to see instantly a stark difference from everything Bubba. Blow up the defensive staff. Keep the critical players from entering portal. That will start building excitement. Win the portal! Quote

Sure, he did not cut ties completely, but he’s not working for him anymore even though he had that opportunity. Quote

If Chaves does this internal hiring crap again, my expectations will remain rock bottom until I see something that suggests otherwise. Quote
