Who would UND hire?

What % chance do we put on Schmidt being the hire?

That will be everyone’s argument that endorsed this decision, but that remains to be seen. If UND hires Schmidt, and San Diego State’s defense does much better in 2025, and UND struggles with Schmidt in year one, there will be a lot of early sandbagging …

I think Schmidt is more Lennen than Bubba.  That make me excited for UND football.

I'd say 75-25.

In 2016 UND had the #1 defense in the Big Sky by a mile.  You know why?  They had really good players.  Recruit better, period.  

Players win games. Coaches recruit the players. 
 

2016 Bubba and Schmidt defense choked at home vs CAA Richmond …

It seems like a very UND thing to do to hire a former player/coach.

If in fact that’s the case, which only time will tell, then we’ll be fine.

Never changes.

I was hoping for someone new but, if it is Schmidt, I hope he seriously evaluates the assistants, and remove those that need be.

If it is Schmidt he’d better have HIS staff from his time away.

Absolutely. An absolute must. Would be a real slap in the face *if* the UND guy who went away, and made great new “FBS connections”, then gets hired back and keeps the majority of the current UND staff in place …

Probably pretty high since the source was (maybe) at a UND event, got a text from a friend who was at a UND event, who struck up a conversation with Tom Miller.  For some reason Tom Miller decided to give his opinion and prediction on the hire.  This is 100% iron clad!!!

Yes, those who can identify talent and make them better players after they are recruited!

Didn’t like Schmidt’s D when he was here, but he could blame that on the HC.

Frankly, rather have Fruechte

Agree

We wanted a change so here we go

Will a 4-2-5 work in the MVFC?

It can. So can a 4-3, a 3-4 and a 3-3-5 depending on the opponent and down and distance. None of them will work if you don’t have the talent to plug in to those spots though.

Thanks for patience.  At least for the next fifteen minutes.

You’ll be okay. As for UND football, we’ll see …

not worried about me.  But you have a headache or fever.  Either way time will tell.

Talked to a popular former UND football player from the 90s.

"Who do you want the new coach to be."

....his immediate response....

"Someone not from the program."

[UND-FB-FAN]

Wow, Luke Schleusner and Idaho …

[Sioux94]

I leave you guys alone for like 10 hours....and when I come back here....there are 8 pages to catch up on lol. 

It's not going to be Fruechte, it wouldn't have drug out this long if it was going to be him. 

Yes ,Kelly said would like salary to be 350k, that is a wish/hope. We do need to up the salary but it also needs to have incentives in it.  How aboutv300k but 5k for every win? You go 10-2 then you make 350k. 

If they increase salary to 300k or more, even more reason it probably wouldn't be Fruechte who is making what, 110k today? If you are going to give it to him you could keep it at 250k with lots of incentives to see how he does. Hell I'm quite sure Fruechte would take the position if it was only 200k.
