This ain’t the 1970s anymore … transfers win games. Exactly. Shouldnt be that hard with today's portal to bring in someone who's better than Romfo today. Quote

I would think recruiting to division 1 would give us those types of players a little more frequently. Need to step it up and find some difference makers that the other elite FCS schools seem to rinse and repeat with. Quote

ND-fan Posted December 10 Posted December 10 This years offense was by no means the best offense UND put on the field but was adequate to still be effective offense. We started with three quarterbacks with limited playing time and favorite did not come out winner quarterback competition. Oh by way it was one with least pedigree and not one of other two 6’3” quarterbacks that is typical quarterback. Trey could chuck the ball but if probably look at his total film he had limited movement in pocket and very limited running ability so he would have limited our offense which had been case previous couple years with Tommy. Second we had red shirt freshmen with very limited play with great pedigree from Wisconsin large school for football fan natural winner to be playing right away. If he would have been ready I have know doubt he would have played. The problem is he wasn’t ready yet to play and even Tom Miller confirmed this in his watching practices. Romfo started the season he made mistakes but considering this was his first time playing was doing enough to win and if you would look as season he continued improve as season went along. The problem he had limited number offensive weapons he could go to . He had Bo but from there other receivers couldn’t stretch the field and often dropped passes or were us able toget themselves open. We did not have much option at tight end to go to either. He did create offense by his rushing but when we’re already having line stacked and not having more than one receiver to stretch the field or tight end that could catch something up the middle offense becomes predictable. I don’t know what will happen this coming year but my guess is maybe we can bring in quarterback but what happens then do they keep quarterbacks in program or do we start over for the future. I have to believe if there are big changes coming in program it’s going to be additions to the defense if we’re going to even have winning record that assumes we return majority of best players on offense. If we loose some top talent then program will be complete rebuild and have probably 2 or 3 win season. Then looking at year three before we get back above 500 this is best case scenario because of the portal. I look at teams that have tried to rebuild totally by portal hasn’t worked very well at the FCS level. I am confident coach Schmidt will be able to get us to winner but it may not be as fast as some of the people think and I will be curious how much patience here on the board before we start having doubters. the best thing I have heard in comments is revamping of recruiting system for the program I believe that will play biggest improvement to the system. It takes time and people to sell program and get players wanting to come here. This is not to mention I have to believe coach Schmidt will take advantage of our new strength and conditioning program since being apart of elite FBS programs. Quote

Doesn’t have to be the entire roster like some of you seem to fear, but it does have to be guys that are committed to winning. Difference makers. What does everyone think a realistic timeline is? You have until Jan. 13 to sign up for 2nd semester. Staff is in place by 12/13 Returners known by 12/16 (Portal exits / Graduating and moving on w/ remaining eligibility, ect) Starting 12/17 Hit the portal Quote

This has been what I've really tried to emphasis. It's crucial they keep the mass majority of their key players. You're going to need some attrition from the current roster to upgrade, but those hopefully are program driven. Someone who is buried on the depth chart, leaves for playing time. RS Junior that's buried on the depth chart and chooses to graduate and move on. That's Step 1 and it's absolutely critical. Important next 72 hours. Hoping we don't see anything until Thursday. When we do, it's someone that is a "mutual" decision. Quote

F'n Hawks Posted December 10 Posted December 10 Not that I think Romfo should have been the guy last year, but I think we still go 5-7 or 6-6 no matter who is at QB. 1 Quote
Nodak78 Posted December 10 Posted December 10 I hope we have an announcement tomorrow on the OC and DC. Let's flesh this out quickly to scour the portal and stiffen the defense. 2 Quote
UND Football Fan Posted December 10 Posted December 10 Just looking at Schmitty’s demeanor, he not would not be just a coach to play for, but a coach to die for. Hopefully the staff he gets will land the recruits we need and develop them them into the players they can both win the Dakotas and win it all. 1 Quote
F'n Hawks Posted December 10 Posted December 10 Press conference tomorrow. How quickly does he get his coaching staff finalized? Quote
