I know Bubba has a lot going on personally right now but I’m hoping we don’t take the easy path. I don’t feel anyone on staff is ready. If we are hitting the button, how about bringing back Marty Rogers. Worked well with Bubba and was on what seems to be a solid staff at SIU. Plus recruited very well. Still hope it’s posted and a competitive salary can be offered. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernraider Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Should have just hired DeBoer when given the chance, but that is another discussion Jim Glogowski D.C at Mankato? Used to be the Coordinator at U of South Dakota and was a player there as well Mankato was National Runner-up, opposing teams averaged 260 yards and 15 points per game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Our defense gave up an average of 28.5 points per game and 398 yards per game. All respect to Schmidt, but should we really be that upset he is leaving? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All respect to Schmidt, but should we really be that upset he is leaving? It's a fair question (the numbers don't lie, but they also never tell the whole story), but the challenges on the DL certainly hurt from a run-stopping perspective. The schemes can only cover for so much. I'm not about to blame Schmidt for all of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3-4 issue is really a good question. They have known for awhile that Schmidt was leaving so I would think a replacement should be named quite soon. My opinion - they will bring someone in from the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could have been part of the impetus for Schmidt to take the opportunity. Congrats to him. He obviously does enough right things to earn that opportunity, but I for one think Schmidt had a few too many games where his defense wasn't up to snuff, so I am dearly hoping Bubba nails his DC pick out of the park and gets UND back to being a force of nature on D.

FlinFlan80 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 1 minute ago, UND1983 said: don't get your hopes too high Part of this is to keep our expectations on here in check. I haven't the slightest idea who I would hire, however, I won't be surprised if it is an internal promotion with a hire of a new defensive assistant. As far as outside hires, I wouldn't be surprised by Dosch or someone else with familiarity to the staff. It is hard to hire someone to be a coordinator that doesn't have a relationship with the current staff. That being said, don't expect a splashy hire.
