Player21 Posted December 6 Posted December 6 Just now, UND1983 said: I would say coaching experience is mostly all lower level. No real NIL experience. But does have a lot of connections from playing days and being from MN. Good points. Age/experience I'd say would be less than desirable. But he's also the son of a very successful HS coach, has played at a very high level and has great connections from his playing days along with connections I'm sure he's made along the way during his coaching career. Seems to have the support of the current locker room which is very important. Skills needed as a HC is different from a coordinator, as long as he shows the potential to run an entire program I'd be OK with him being hired, but he could potentially need a few more years to gain those skills before being handed the keys to a program as well.

UNDhoops Posted December 8 Posted December 8 I know everyone hates this but I’d hire an option coach. Easier to find a QB to run it, and it’s a change up that is tough for teams to prepare for. Quote

And the last one you mentioned left after a year Do you want me to name all of his assistants over the last 15 years? I'm confused. Also, if you get a B1G offer and you coach in the PFL, you take it. Lol. Caruso was not particularly well liked by other coaches in the MIAC or Kheres at Mt. Union, but he's got some loyal guys on his staff and he wins. 1 Quote

Ron Mexico Posted December 9 Posted December 9 Schmidt was the right man. Experience. The UND connection is important to our program, but the UND connection was also important because it was the link to get him. How many current FBS coordinstors applied??? Guessing 1. Eric Schmidt. Coached in the FBS National Championship game last year. With Kaylen Deboer. He has had a view from the top of the next level up. When Bohl got the State School of Fertilzers and Herbicides rocking when the campus still looked like an Army base without a fence around it - he had connections that brought in FBS assistants like WR coaches from UCLA. Former players at SU said that was huge. This gives us a chance to have that FBS pipeline of coaches and portal players. If Eric is a Stiegelmeir and makes it a career and brings us to national prominence, awesome. If he gets hot and goes on to make millions, even better. And none of this happens without the good job Bubba did getting this all going, making the playoffs several times, making us a consistent top 25 program, and winning 2 conference titles. Cant and wont convince me otherwise. And all of the haters on here were free to submit their resume at any time during this search or Bubbas tenure. Thought so. 1 2 1 Quote

Bubba left it in a better place...resources, support or otherwise. He upped the ante. And now Schmidty is going to do the same...and up it again. I believe when he moves on for whatever reason...the same will be said about Eric Schmidt. 1 Quote
