Saint Luke?

Agreed

[nodakvindy]

Need a fresh start and injection of new ideas. If Freuchte isn't the guy would hope he is still on staff. Focus needs to be on recruiting and developing QB and upgrading defense. 

[AJS]

The main attributes need to be young, motivated, winning program. Someone that exudes confidence. I want the next coaches goal to elevate and move up within five years. 
 

• Current D2 coaches

• Coordinator from the Dakota schools (not Landry / Freund)

Yes. Needs to be someone that plans to be gone within 5 years. (Moving up)

That process has worked excellent for NDSU (Bohl leaves for FBS, Klieman leaves for FBS, Entz leaves for FBS, and the program keeps on rolling to new heights…)

They had that with DeBoer last time. Hopefully they can make the right decision this time

Living in AZ....watched the new young HC get hired last year. Dude is so crazy energetic and only 34. Wasn't sure if it was going to work or not but after being horrible,  ASU is now 9-2 this year and the best team they hsve had in 10 years.

[MinnDak]

Any coach on staff that watched this meltdown the past 7 games and didn’t call anyone out including each other, smash a few clip boards and make some changes doesn’t deserve anything. 

[MinnDak]

MN player of the year, Wisconsin player of the year, Michigan player of the year, state champions, all state players, state champion wrestlers, best receiver in MV, FBS players on and on and this is the product. Somebody please call Trey Feeney because he looks like a genius right now.

4-1

5-2

5-7

It’s like leadership fell asleep. 

[sioux24/7]

So who would UND hire? 

- Eric Schmidt - 1st year as DC at San Diego State. Currently they’re 3-8, giving up 29.45ppg and 422.9 yards per game. Not great, but 1st year as DC there. 

- Danny Freund - 1st year as Co-OC at SDSU but not the primary play caller. Offense is averaging 36.58ppg. No clue how credit he’s due, if any. He’s my guy but understand the skepticism. 

- Isaac Fruechte - 1st year as OC here. Think he’s done a decent to good job. Offense is averaging 30.83ppg. People aren’t a fan of his QB choice. I think he will be a successful coach going forward but not sure it’s the right time to be the head coach. 

- Tony Annese - Ferris State head coach, #1 team in D2. 132-21 record but he’s 63 years old. Maybe his son Steve? Not sure how much influence he has had in their success.

- Tyler Roehl - if you can’t beat them, hire them? I know he’s now at Iowa State but many years in the NDSU program and knows how to win. Many voiced their opinion for him to take over after Entz left. Many also wanted him canned. I’d say this one’s unlikely. 

- Luke Schleussner - 2nd year as OC at Idaho, was our OC last year of Muss. Known as a great recruiter. Idaho is averaging 28.08ppg this year and 32.31 last year. 

- Josh Davis - 1st year as OC at USD, was previously at SDSU as the pass game coordinator. Averaging 37ppg. 

- Travis Johansen - 6th season as USD’s DC. Holding teams to 14.94ppg. Was previously the head coach at Grand View (NAIA) where he had a record of 61-11. 

- Jesse Bobbit - 2nd season as SDSU’s DC. Held teams to 12.42ppg this year and 9.27ppg last year. An SDSU alum with previous coaching stop at Washington State as a grad assistant and then quality control coach. 

I am sure there are many others but I’m more interested in talking about who rather than talking about Bubba right now. We will see if this is even necessary this year but this thread and the need for a new head coach is not going to die just because the athletic department says Bubba isn’t leaving.

@sioux24/7 great stuff! I’d be most interested in the bottom 4.

Please just have it actually be a true national search. Not just give it to Fruechte or offer to Freund without evaluating all possible options

I agree but if Danny got it, there would be the boo birds who will say the fix was in. Same for Fruechte

Agreed. I’m of the opinion that it shouldn’t be either. I would maybe consider Schluessner, but would like someone without UND ties

If Fruechte had any say in how the QB situation was handled this season that should automatically eliminate him

[UND1983]

Why would we even consider an in-house option?  Open it up and the best will rise to the top

[Wilbur]

My vote is a guy with no UND ties.  Lets get away from the good ole boy network.

Well, the last time we opened it up.  The cream is currently the HC at Alabama.  I think the problem is who is making the decisions not the talent pool.  We should be putting together our list of decision makers.  Who have you got?  I have no clue. 

[90siouxfan]

Great question, everybody's wet dream happens tomorrow morning at 8am, Bubba is ousted...   Does Chaves become the sole determining opinion on the replacement?

[The Sicatoka]

Bubba is a week older than John Harbaugh. He’d be second oldest in NFL behind Andy Reid.
