The deep state was pushing hard for Schmidt.

Likely be announced soon. 

Like miller said "late tonight"

UND has their new HC. I’m not sure when they will announce. Let’s see how quickly he can assemble his staff and get to work. 

Okay, now I believe we have a new HC.  Thanks IRA!

Schmidt would be a home run hire IMO. Winner as a player, has worked his way up consistently in coaching, almost winning a natty last year, and has coached under some really great coaches. Hopefully he can bring some coaches or players from the past few years in!

Don’t know the full pool of candidates, but gimme Schmidt. 
 

Looked back at Schmidt’s last game at UND in 2019; playoff game lost by UND’s offense, only scored six points. If Schmidt gets the job, I’d like to see all those recent FBS connections be truthful and turned into a big-time new coaching staff here at UND.

We’ll see …

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.


Time to go to work. Build the staff the right way and crush the portal. Time to ACTUALLY end the monopoly in the Dakotas. Get it done. Go Hawks.

I really don’t care the specifics of defensive fronts. I just want some better athletes on defense to bring pressure, be able to TACKLE IN SPACE, and break on the ball in coverage!

Have to have good players, number one, but development via strength/conditioning and coaching the fundamentals of pass coverage and tackling matters. Need to call a good game. Lots of pieces to come together but don’t take much to be better than the mess of a defense we had in 2024…

I would think he will need to evaluate who he might keep. If he were moving from D2 or different FCS program he may bring guys from his present staff. Tougher to get FBS coordinators to drop down cuz of less $.  
I would consider Freuchte as OC cuz of relationships with players and it can help with the transition. He would be able to advise regarding position coaches who players respect and which coaches may be great recruiters. 
I would guess he will have a lot of new guys.

Would consider keeping Fruechte, but if Schmidt can hire a capable coach from the DeBoer offensive coaching tree to be OC, you take it; Fruechte could be WR coach or co-OC. DeBoer does a lot of co-coordinator titles, maybe Schmidt will do that here.

Still weird to me Schmidt only ever been the head coach of high school football.

Kenny Dillingham’s first HC position is ASU. That worked out pretty well..
