Not what I had in mind, but those guys did make a point that some NFL coaches call offensive/defensive plays. Perhaps a salary distribution move to start things off. Maybe that changes with future renegotiated contracts. Quote

Wonder if that would spread out some salary across the assistants to increase their pay? From what they talked about on the 360 pod, it sounds like you are right and he is doing this to be able to save some money to get quality coaches to come here and spread the salary out. Also, having a dedicated recruiting coordinator was important for him which makes sense considering the direction college football is heading. Sounds like he may have had a couple of longshots for DC that he would have been willing to hire to call plays, but decided this was the best route after they didn’t come with. 3 Quote

sioux24/7 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I think he wants to implement his defense. Makes sense for him to be the play caller. Would guess he could be grooming someone to take that over in a few years. 2 Quote
Kab Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Is the strength and conditioning coach the same as last year ? Quote

I was talking more about being a head coach and calling the defense. The head coaching job has a lot of administrative and oversight duties. I am wondering if Schmidt is spreading himself too thin.

Out of 20 potential starters that were on the depth chart, 10 were not on the roster the previous year and only 1 was a consistent starter at SDSU. You really think he was going to be able to implement his 4-2-5 scheme in short order? Not only that but it was Sean Lewis's first year in SDSU too. There is no reason for your asinine comment on "why we hired him". I am not going to lie; I was skeptical about hiring him but with everyone he is adding to his staff, I am pretty excited to see what the future holds for UND football. 1 2 Quote

NDRA Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I was asking a serious question. Didn't know so I thought I'd ask. Sorry if some folks thought it was stupid. 1 Quote
UND Football Fan Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I did like 360 comment on Schmidt looking at current roster saying this is not good enough. We need to get better. Way better than hearing the lack of execution after games. (Maybe that was Bubba’s way of saying we don’t have the athletes to make those plays) Excited to see how Spring goes and additions we make (as 360 said kids may hit portal on defensive side especially our plethora linebackers) Quote

Recruiting coordinator will be a big add to the staff that previously wasn't a full time position. Being able to bring ideas on how to do things from a top program in country should pay some dividends. 1 Quote

On the recruiting side, as much as I didn't care for Bohl, even turning Wyoming into an average program is a huge accomplishment given how hard it is to recruit there. Hopefully some of those ideas come with Haug (though he won't be the recruiting coordinator). 1 Quote
Mama Sue Posted January 3 Posted January 3 If it gets too much….the AD should step in. Don’t you think he should have some oversight anyway with a new coach and his first year as HC? Couldn’t the AD take over some admin tasks and let him build his coaching staff and team? Sounds too simple to happen. I want Schmidt to succeed, like we we all do! Quote

If the AD were to make any adjustments, rather than micromanaging, it should be plainly increasing the salary pool so a quality DC candidate can be hired. But we’ll see how this HC/DC combo arrangement goes and go from there … Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 4 Posted January 4 We wanted a fully engaged HC. Being HC and DC is fully engaged. Until it doesn’t work, don’t grouse. 2 Quote

Some skepticism is perhaps fair given uniqueness of this (and don’t say Mike Zimmer, that’s NFL and didn’t quite work out I’d say), but it could work. Uniqueness can be either really good or really bad. Time will tell. Quote
Nodak78 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 HC less detail on recruiting more position coaches on defense. OC and asst coach coaching TE observing offense when Eric is discussing adjustments on defense. 2025. Quote
homer Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Generally I would look for examples of this working in the past but we are entering a new age of college athletics. Recruiting coordinators and roster managers are going to be as/maybe more important than coordinators. Head coaches aren’t going to be able to manage rosters and coach. This is a time and a different approach may be welcomed. Eventually promote one of your young defensive positions coaches to coordinator when ready. 2 Quote
