Inopportune timing for this, which means most likely promote from within.  Not sure that's ideal, defense has been underwhelming for quite a while.  Would like to see someone brought in that will abandon the 3-4.  Schwenzfier won't be doing that...........

If the HC philosophy is 3-4 you are not getting a DC to come in here and change that.

You must be new to UND football. I’ve seen worse, pup.  


Oh yes, very very new… 

“It’s the University’s position to not comment negatively on anything related to our underwhelming athletic programs.” 

We can stop with the misdirection b*llshit. UND football needed new leadership years ago but instead this is what we get. Coaches fleeing and politically correct spokespersons trying to undersell the issues by replying with this garbage.

Not going to happen. Likely internal giving poor coaching salary, and will definitely be 3-4 still as long as Bubba is in charge.

Why the announcement now? Spring ball is supposed to start in a week on the 20th. Timing of this seems odd since he is not transitioning to another FB role/position. 

The timing may also be related to the timing of an opportunity outside of coaching. There are a lot of coaches with the ability to be successful in other occupations. Him having been a college athlete and coaching in a leadership position makes him an attractive candidate for businesses, companies or corporations. I would bet it will be at a significant salary increase, and a good chance more time with family, and he won’t  have to deal with the uncertainties in a profession governed by the flailing NCAA.  Coaching at this level can be a thankless job even in good times. 
Having said that, I have no idea what his plans are but it’s a scenario that could explain the timing. Employers aren’t going to consider how the timing affects the previous employer as long as the can hire the person they want.

Maybe Bubba wanted to make a change to a 4-3 and Holinka saw the writing on the wall. Coaches should be able to coach in both schemes. 
 

this is an opportunity to hire outside of the current staff and to hire someone to run a 4-3. Due to timing of the resignation we might not get either unfortunately…..
