I think that’s because Bubba seems older than he actually is.

I am not in charge of hiring.  There is about a 15 year age difference between Bubba and Schmidt but honestly is seems like the gap is bigger.  They are not very similar in my opinion.

If Schmidt gets the job, I hope he does amazing with his first head coaching opportunity, and his experiences over the past five years help elevate UND to the next level. Bottomline is we need to start competing with, and beating, the likes of NDSU and SDSU.

I would have expected an announcement for a press conference for tomorrow morning by now

impatient. Taps my foot.  It will all be ok. Being diligent.

I’m taking all this that there were multiple qualified candidates with a lot of interest in the job. I see good things ahead for UND football.

Luke would be an interesting candidate.  He probably has broader FCS perspective than any others that have been mentioned.  He maybe has insight on how SDSU turned things around with Stig.   How SDSU went about trying to surpass NDSU.  He probably has insight on how the MVFC and Big Sky has evolved.  What is the approach at Idaho?  How is it different or the same from the other programs he has been apart of.  How has he evolved or adapted during his journey.

Big fan of Luke!!  He didn't apply, though.

Or maybe Chavez had to pick up phone  as not many applied?

Other than Baldwin, he actually is and was my favorite candidate, but doesn’t sound like he is being considered like Eric Schmidt (and I guess not applying will do that …) 
 

My take on Luke: successful runs as offensive staff member at SDSU, knows UND and the Midwest, and as of late, he’s been doing very well as OC at Idaho. No head coaching experience, which is negative compared to Baldwin, but he’s a good recruiter and teacher, really a young innovative offensive mind in college football with the age and future prospects to look to move up and bring a program up to new heights on that journey upward.

We really don’t know who’s all applied except from what Tom has said, correct?

It’s really quite all over the place. That tends to mean that Chaves and the athletics department truthfully don’t know yet who they’re gonna hire. I’m quite confident they got a good pool of candidates… this is an attractive job with the new facilities…and opportunity to elevate over NDSU/SDSU and get an FBS coaching gig as a result as you’d be put on notice by ESPN, etc. 

Rarely lines up that you have a head coach job open on the same year that brand new facilities are also gonna open …

[SiouxFan100]

Job might not be as attractive as I hoped.

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

Speculation or what you have heard?  
 

Outside of this years meltdown what part is the dumpster fire?  Facilities, conference, NIL?

perhaps some of the administration but stepping back does Bubba now having a voice in the department help that?

What street would that be?

[SiouxFan100]

Will the new coach be able to compete successfully for recruits? It’s been so long since we have. I look forward to the day when we raise the level of talent. Hopefully this happens right out of gate.

wont be a Colorado type of makeover but things need to happen starting tomorrow to raise expectations and talent

Let’s pump it up! Everything is in place, just waiting to hear whose going to take this program to the top!

I wouldn’t go down that rabbit hole with anyone.  Bubba is a non issue except for those who can’t let it go.  
The fact is an FCS HC is a great stepping stone if you get the program turned around. The University, the campus and the new facilities are outstanding. If you are successful in the MVFC you can move up. UND admin is supportive.

I think the skies the limit if you get the right finisher (head coach). Not to harp on it, but I cannot image that being one of Bubba’s strengths. 
 

To be fair to Bubba though, having FINISHED facilities is something he never had. They had one arm tied behind their back the entire time. 

[sioux24/7]

There’s about 3 maybe 4 people on here that I trust right now and they have been mostly quiet.

Just an opinion of what I think would be someone's impression.  Football has been rough since Mussman began (16 years ago) as HC and hasn't really improved.  AD hires appear to be less than impressive and not really in control.  Other schools (SU's, and USD recently) have it figured out at the moment, and they continue to produce results.  We need to grab a coach on the rise and hopefully get a plan in place to replace him when FBS comes calling.  UND has great facilities and the money is there.
