What if the salary pool was the same regardless for the same number of coaches, but they were about to spread it out a bit more to get better position coaches....? 

What if indeed

What if the salary pool was greater?

Assistant salary pool is what it is regardless of who has what titles.

The titles are irrelevant. What you call realism, I would call, in this case, pessimism. There is no reason a competent and concerted effort cannot raise the salary pool. It’s amazing UND football has been floundering with this as long as they have.

Per sources, there is hope …

Do you know what the salary pool is now? Also what it was before?

Serious question.

No. Was told relatively speaking it would be higher. The optimism I have is I know for a fact there are ongoing efforts to address it …

It was a rhetorical question.

Amazing that you feel inner-conflict is the right stance with this, but of course, at UND, it has historically been an issue: competing amongst each other more so than actual competition. 
 

I would like to think you’d be more so apart of the solution than the problem, but perhaps not. Good day with you. 

Buck the Fison. And what the hell Armstrong …

So it is greater than what it was. And they continue to push it higher. Do you know where UND ranked in assistant pool under Bubba? Third. Do you know what it is now? Second. 

And my point was the pool is the same regardless of what happens. If there isn't a designated DC, then there is more money available to spread among the other position coaches and possibly the ability to attract better candidates than what there would be if there was a designated DC.

I’m aware.

Be happy, but hungry. No more counter-punches, time to actually throw the first punch.

I am so G**damn tired of the yellow cattle.  Fix this now, Eric.  Whatever you do, get it done now.  We need to beat the p*ss out of them next year.

The coaching pool money will need to expand if we’re going to be equal to school south of us because there coaching staff is at least 3 to 4 more coaches, and at least 7 to 8 more support staff for recruiting, strength and conditioning, and other for football operations. So if we are going to catch up it’s going to take bigger pool of money or commitment to staff numbers. The years of cutting athletics has shown up all through the athletic department for all the sports we’re competing in. If we’re going to be flagship university in North Dakota then UND is going to need to spend money for athletics because loss leader for attracting students to the school and will help fuel future growth for the school and for the state.

Is there running QB gonna take over next year, or do they have someone else that is going to step up? Miller will be big shoes to fill, but they've been filling big shoes at the QB position for over 10 years.

Schmidt just posted.  A great weekend in the valley.  JYD and flagshipU.  Guess that means we are getting better recruiting and retaining.

With 4 hawk emojis. I know of 2 confirmed commits from this week and potentially 2 more so we will see if that’s him communicating a little something.

I saw the four hawks and thought the same.  Would be nice.

Why are cornerbacks and safeties coaches 2 different positions instead of one defensive back coach? Is it because of the 4-2-5 defense? Looking at some of the staff listings at other schools (Fresno, San Jose, Northern Illinois) some do not separate the 2, only one d-back coach. Having one d-back coach would free up some assistant coach salary pool $.

Judging from his twitter, looks like Markelle Pete is back with UND in some fashion. Was with Mankato. 

I wonder if he will be the main recruiter.  Looks like has done that at many levels.

[sioux24/7]

Didn’t intend on deleting my post. Whoops. Spelled Markell* wrong was meaning to edit. 

[F'n Hawks]

Buxa, Olson, Thaden, and Becher all confirmed back.
