So other than the name of Emilee Thiesse being thrown around, there are a few other area Division II coaches that have pretty good track records: Dave Krauth - Augustana Travis Traphagen, Sioux Falls Chris Kielsmeier, Wayne State All three have taken teams pretty deep into the D2 NCAA Tournament. Kielsmeier has a Division III national championship to his credit as well. Wouldn't be surprised if one (or all three) haven't thrown their names into the hat. no, no, no and no. Thiesse's team is currently trending in the wrong direction. Krauth is way too run of the mill. He has been solid in D2 but really not much of anything else and if USD is to go the D2 route than we need excellence, not just pretty good. Traphagen I don't know as much about but USF doesn't have a great history to my recollection and their national tourney appearance this year is not a large enough sample size. Kielsmeier has not done enough with Wayne State either. I have no problem with going down to D2 or whatever just expect better than these candidates. I don't think we go the D2 route (or NAIA) this time, the program has grown too much in the past decade, it warrants someone with Division I and/or Summit League experience. However, of the coaches I listed, Kielsmeier has done more at Wayne State than Ryun Williams did when we hired him away from there. |

I don't think the fans and alumni should be totally discounted when it comes to making the decision either. They are ultimately the ones that pay the bills and go to the games so I thinking polling the fans or gaining their opinion in some way isn't such a bad idea. Most fans will jump on the fastest moving bandwagon but their opinion should carry a little weight. You serious ,Clark? You try to get your fans involved in this process and you'll be lucky to have a coach by Christmas. Yeah how horrible would that be to test the pulse of the fan base that will be supporting the program. Like I said the fans don't hire the coach but you can't tell me that the fans, alumni and donors don't matter at least a little bit. With them a program has nothing and those people will be around a lot longer than a specific coach or AD will be around. |

Who exactly in the Summit League either head or assistant coach would be worthy of the USD job. Not saying there aren't any but am just wondering. I am sure Denver's or NDSU's head coach might consider the jump to USD. LOL  |

With them a program has nothing and those people will be around a lot longer than a specific coach or AD will be around. How about the fans,alumni,and donors contact your AD and express their choice. If you try to turn it in to some kind of public poll, the number of applicants will shrink to about nothing, it will take forever, and your University will be a laughingstock. |

you are correct that a public poll on a website probably would never happen just because of the secrecy of the hiring process now days. That doesn't mean there couldn't be a way of gaining opinions in general.

Why even have an AD? Put a poll up on the website and save some money.

Should an athletic department care about the opinions of the average fan? Sure, as it relates to the fan experience at sporting events, giving fans a great product to cheer for, provide great facilities and encouraging involvement and interest in the school. They are already doing a great job of that.
Should an athletic department care about the opinions of donors, especially top boosters? Absolutely, as it relates to offering perks, privelige, and special access to the program.
Hiring decisions, however, are best left to those who are paid well to make those decisions, and who's jobs depend on handling those decisions well. As an example, how much input do you think DH gave Amy on her coaching technique? The answer is none because that is not his job. The fans and boosters have the job of supporting the program, not choosing coaches

But, does this prohibit any of the staff from applying for the coyote's head coach position? |

In the "FWIW department", I see that Rylie Cascio Jensen does not have USD commit noted in her twitter bio. I believe that it was there as of last week. I certainly hope it means nothing as she is definately a key part in the 2016 class.

Nothing concrete, but not great signs either.  |
