Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted December 15 Popular Post Posted December 15 As one watches these FCS playoff games it truly tells the state of this FB program. Most of these playoff teams are absolute trash.....and yet UND didn't even make the field. I've heard Schmidt say in multiple interviews the #1 issue to start with is recruiting. Got to get some dudes at the WR and QB positions as well as across the board on D. Not going anywhere next season with what's coming back. 2 7 Quote

Hawks really blew it this year. Recruiting is very important but the talent that went through the past few years points to a bigger problem that is likely taken care of now. Check out how Kilty and McNaboe and their teams did this year. 2 Quote

We don't have enough dudes, especially on D. I think we do make the field if we had the conference schedules some of those other teams had. Those teams and their conferences get exposed during the playoffs. 3 Quote
ND-fan Posted December 15 Posted December 15 I believe if we retain what we have on the team for talent and we add three to five impact players on defense side and change from 3-4 defense to 4-2-5 defense gives us chance to becoming average to slightly above average defense. The offense will need two or three players that can make big difference plus I think we may have some sleepers that didn’t play much last year and with change in coaching could become better players. If I look at our schedule I think we should go 7-5 enough to make the playoffs and who knows where we could be at end of next year. If we get staff put together that can put better game plans together and more attention to players to be prepared against our competition. I think we went to battle last year with staff undermanned to compete against other Dakota schools and need in change in philosphy when we went on the road. I look at staff that had to do day day coaching their wasn’t people to game plan and also look at ourselves see what tendencies we were doing and possible schemes to counter this game to game. I think this why second half was such disaster we weren’t even aware how predictable we had become and this got worse when we had injuries limiting our options to be less predictable. Football has also gone the way baseball has used statistics to help give better options to be successful. I believe we are going to see where we catch up to other Dakota Schools. 2 Quote

I am assuming all FCS and most maybe all G5 conferences are going to say No to the House Settlement. Quote

Gives good reasoning. He explains the situation well. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted Monday at 08:52 PM Author Posted Monday at 08:52 PM HELP! I'm final three in a "Survivor" pool for FCS. I have MSU, SDSU, and NDSU left as options. (Burned USD last week.)

I'm leaning picking the Cats this week. Quote

He explains the situation well. You are correct, I had read an older article that seemed to say the point of the house settlement was revenue sharing and the limit was $20 million. I did not know that was optional. That definately changes things. "Revenue-sharing is optional. There is no minimum, and the maximum revenue-sharing in the first year (summer 2025) is $20.5 million."
