2023 Non-UND FCS thread

[Hawkster]

I do envy NDSU in that their "problems" leave by themselves without the university having to buy out the contracts.

So they hate Entz, he is leaving and they will still hit the portal??

Is that even the case? 

Even most blue blood assistants don't make seven figures. USC is private so who knows if we'll ever even know.

My guess is he’ll make between 800k-1 mil

So Cal has low carb Donuts and you can pee pretty much anywhere you want.  Seems like a win-win.

Dom and Kolpack speculated that Riley and Klieman are tight and Riley probably asked about him. Whatever people think of Entz he is/was regarded as a pretty elite defensive coach.

Don’t even worry. He’s bringing more fire this next season!!

What a laughable thought, and it is particularly unfortunate we have UND “supporters” who post that malarkey and actually believe it. Prolonged mediocrity is a mindset illness run rampant here with this fan base / group of supporters.

It's all coach-speak either way but I think it is also pretty fair to assume you would have also jumped all over a "business as usual" type of response. What actual type of (realistic) reaction/commentary would have passed muster?

No response or commentary is acceptable at this point other than acknowledging change is the only way forward. Silence sometimes can speak the loudest, however. Of course, we’re limited by the rate of change based on unjustified extensions and mediocre expectations.

So nothing in the realistic realm because the head coach isn't getting 2 years of his contract bought out. Which is exactly what my point was.

If you can’t buy out a mediocre coach’s contract then you probably shouldn’t issue out those contracts after losing seasons …

but oh well, this point has been beaten to death. Hopefully Chaves has learned from this. UND athletics as a whole needs to learn and evolve from this, or else be left behind… again.

Furman and Idaho both getting hit hard from the portal today. Looking at the MVFC teams, Northern Iowa / Youngstown seemed to have gotten it the worst. 

[SIOUXFAN97]

does entz do a "ohatani" with his contract????

[Wilbur]

Wonder how the team responds to this.  Can't remember if it was Klieman or Bohl that left before the season ended?  One of them answered his cell phone at practice and accepted the job if I remember right.  Maybe I dreamt that.

Bohl for sure stuck around. I think Klieman did too.

Brian Kelly was eating dinner on a recruiting visit, stepped out to take a call, came back and kept eating.....then an hour later it broke he took the LSU job..per the kid's dad.

They both stuck around. When Bohl left it got a little weird at practice as far as communications and recruiting went since they had named Klieman the next coach. So you had two camps of Coaches. Bohl and those going with him and Klieman and those that were staying with him....but they managed.

This would be a fun problem to have.. would mean we have a coach that is being recruited to a better position and we were still in the playoffs..

I am hearing that the Coach NDSU is hiring is not currently on staff and of course the players want Roehl since they know him. Could be an interesting week.

If they hire externally isn't there a formal process they have to go through that takes time vs hiring internally is automatic?

NDSU seems to have that figured out.  Good on them.
