Who would UND hire?

So people are saying that the second choice OC, less than a year ago, should be made the new HC?

And I'm still wondering how much influence Fruechte had on that last play.  To make an OC heir apparent after 8 games when he hasn't even shown anything special is repeating the same mistake.   Remember when we discussed inbred?

The team scored 40 points … can’t blame the offense with the YSU game.

But I get your point; don’t want to name an heir apparent too soon. We haven’t even finished up a full season yet, so right now is probably too soon.

A head coach with no previous UND ties would be refreshing 

It’s a must, since the “hiring the coordinators of the 2001 and 2003 championship teams” strategy hasn’t worked out …

Some have “it”, some don’t. Lennon was a leader of men, and his two coordinators from those teams weren’t “it”

Does anyone think "the picture" is going to play a role in who the head coach is next year? 

I still firmly believe that if they lose their next 3 games, then Bubba's gone. One could argue this is the most important three game stretch in the D-1 era. This program needs new leadership. The last two games could not have emphasized that more.

If it happened this year, I wanted them to get Danny originally. "The picture" sort of cemented that. Who can blame him for leaving? 

3 more.

I couldn't bear to hang around Sioux Sports after the last two football games, so I'm way behind.  Could you bring me up to speed on "the picture"?

A wise man who used to haunt here would quote Napoleon:

"The morale is to the physical as three is to one." 

That image, if real, doesn't help morale.

To steal a line from Sicatoka about playing devils advocate here.  I'm not sticking up for Bubba, BUT I'm sure someone could produce pictures like that of me sitting in church.   I do close my eyes and listen.   I'm not sleeping but sometimes it just hard to keep the eyes wide open.   I was more shocked about the picture at first then I am now.

I'd really like to know the circumstances and who took them.

Devil's Advocate: If that's a real problem Danny would not be insubordinate in going to Chaves. Danny didn't deal with it. He left. 

Based on Chaves record and obvious loyalty to Bubba, what could Danny have possibly gained by doing that??

To be fair, it could’ve been anyone on the team in the last 6-7 years.  Maybe longer.  
 

We hired a sleeping Grandpa and NDSU hires a coked up crazy man.  And it shows

Is there any chance in the world that UND could lure Central Valley’s Brent Vigen back to the state?

I think his next move will be FBS.

So you’re saying the reason Bubba keeps getting extensions is there’s big $ boosters pumping money into the program to keep him? I had just assumed Chaves was incredibly lazy and loved mediocrity. Very happy with this new development. 

I'm just saying they aren't the armchair ADs that frequent here. At this stage in their life they are enjoying the journey - not saying they are satisfied or don't want more, just saying they aren't thinking they are smarter than UND.

Ummm.....guessing he will keep his house in the Rockies vs. a home on Belmont street.  A good coach, but just would never happen with his SU ties and his current situation.

Go from coaching a team that is currently #2 in the nation, is consistently in the top 5, and has played once for a natty to taking over a total rebuild project and probably for less money?  You're kidding, right?

Lol...even with all the Californians I'd still pick Bozeman.
