  • My rankings would be:

    1. Drinkall
    2. Chinander
    3. Woodley
    4. Furrey

    granted they will be gone in 2 years or so after being successful here, but that’s what we want.

    Not a fan of Paup or Johnson getting hired as I think they won’t bring much to advance the program and would be here till they retire.

    • What is Gene Chizik doing these days?

      Maybe we can stalk his Learjet flights......

      • Y'know, Ryan Day might need a new job after today.

            Look for a new coach to be named by December 5.

            • North Dakota has moved Bubba Schweigert to a new role in the athletic dept and will be hiring a new head coach.

                I'm in.

                I'm a massive OSU hater, and I love seeing his dumb face look perplexed whenever he faces Michigan. However, he gets us to 10-1/9-2 in the regular season I'll take a rivalry loss every year before we get to the postseason.

                • We've got 8 committed recruits that were set to early enroll and we've left them in complete limbo. It's a bad look.

                  This needed to be done a week ago. There are schools that had an opening announced after ours that have already made hires.

                  Mark gave plenty of notice to have this thing taken care of.

                  • December 5th is also after ESD, which is December 4th.

                    There very well may be a logical explanation for why it has taken this long but Mark announced 11/10. It didn't catch Megan blind on 11/10. It doesn't take over a month to figure it out, or at least it shouldn't.

                    If it is going to take a full month to announce and do it after ESD where there are 8 kids set to enroll in just a few weeks the hire has to be perfect. You can't take that long, wait until after ESD, and then go underwhelming.

                    I'm pretty sure the two coaches who were retained, Paup and Atif, haven't even been allowed to contact recruits. That is unacceptable if it is true.

                    Bubba stepped down from UND Saturday and they named an interim HC on Sunday. They named Isaac Fruechte, who got his first D1 job under Mark a couple of seasons ago, their interim. That way they can still recruit and bring kids in while they look for their full-time replacement, and that might be Fruechte anyway. Why wasn't Paup or Atif named interim? It would have at least shown direction.

                    • I'm not going to say that UNI is an unserious football program, but they are handling this hire like a program that does not care about winning on the field or putting themselves in a position to succeed. If they don't care, then why should I?

                      • I think some patience is warranted here. I know the timing is tight, but there are a lot of hoops to jump through. As long as it's the right hire, it will be fine.

                        With the roster limitations there will be a gazillion FBS players in the portal very soon. The new coach will be able to build a roster.

                          THAT is a reliable source.

                            I agree...there could be a few variables in play. There may well could be an agreement but legal details still getting finalized or fussed over. Or the departure details from current scool. Could be a coach whose team is in a playoff or Bowl situation and doesn't want to announce yet...

                                The rumor posted was for the new coach to be named BY Dec. 5. So he could be named well before ESD.

                                As for the 8 recruits waiting, maybe they or their families been contacted through their own rumor mill to hold tight. If the current coaching staff can’t talk to them, doesn’t mean others can’t reach out to them. Besides, if they are local kids they probably aren’t going anywhere else.
