Hope so, and hope a true national search is still performed, with the adequate preferred criteria for a championship-caliber hire.
Oxbow6 Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 Honest question......what juice does a Fruechte HC hire bring to the UND fan base? Especially the casual fan?
planet2county Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 You need someone to keep operations including recruitment going until decision is announced. Happens all the time. 2

Imagine hiring Schmidt/Baldwin/Whomever then saying guess what, "we picked the OC for you". Different sport and different time, but when Rich Glas left, his primary assistant Randall Herbst was named interim head coach, and was ultimately named a finalist before UND eventually hired Brian Jones, so who knows? My guess is that the feeling was that Freuchte was best equipped to try hold together the recruiting class/minimize player exodus until a permanent coach is hired, which hopefully happens next week. 1

But, again, why even lie to everyone and say a national search? Because hiring Fruechte and coming to conclusion this soon would not exactly be a national search and hire. I am just as surprised by this "interim" twist as anyone. If Fruechte was/is to be HC whether interim or not why hold it for a few days? Chaves winging it or playing chess vrs Deep Blue? The other scenario is thanks for playing interim HC prior to the new HC firing you.....seems odd. 1

Can't break the 70+ year old tradition of keeping UND Football inbreeding "within the family"! 1
SiouxFan100 Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 I don’t know if you would consider Fruechte to be an insider

Ok.....I'll answer my own question in a single word "underwhelming". It won't move the excitement needle one bit. 1

I like Fruechte a lot. Think he could be really good, but it doesn’t get the juices going as @Oxbow6 was asking. If he ultimately is the guy, he better clean house. Besides maybe Olson and Kirkwood.

SiouxFan100 Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 My uneducated guess is that Fruechte is a true interim and there will be a national search for the permanent head coach but I know nothing 1
F'n Hawks Posted December 2, 2024 Author Posted December 2, 2024 Does Fruechte have the connections to replace the current defensive staff? If for whatever reason the interim tag is removed and he is the guy his first decision needs to be to clean house on that side.

The interim tag made sense to me given there’s two gigantic dates looming. I’ll also assume the new HC would want some carryover from the old staff. Fruechte would appear to be best bet. He’s one I’d hope they keep him on as OC. Johanes x Freuchte Schmidt x Freuchte Hope it’s the first, but happy with either.
