Are you going to ask all the other posters how many games they have been to as well? I am proud to have gone to zero football games and I have my reasons for it. Last year I went to 6 basketball games. My self imposed football ban will probably end next year depending on who is hired as head coach. I will no longer automatically go to football games. I am a consumer and I need to see a respectable product on the field. It's no different than going to a restaurant. You can only have so much bad food before you will eventually not come back. The Coyote football program is like the bad food that you get over half the time. The service needs to improve before I will go back to the establishment. When they change the menu and the employees then I will try that restaurant again sometime. I don't have to ask the other fans about going to games because if they can't go it is likely due to their life getting in the way. You however seem to live in the area and decide to have a conversation with yourself here every home game rather than go watch it. |

Self-imposed bans, could care less about character and morals? You seriously need professional help. Character and morals are more of an aspect of a player or coaches personal life and I choose not to judge a player or coach based on that. I judge based on the on field performance. I just think it's not a fan's business what happens off the field just like it's not an employers business what their employee does in their personal life. As far as I am concerned it's not my place to judge someone's personal character that doesn't involved what they do on the field. |

Every once in a while I like to remind posters that I haven't read coyotefan's posts for months (and never will. I guarantee it makes the board much more enjoyable and reading his nonsensical comments no longer wastes my time. So join me and let him rant to himself!! If you didn't read my posts you wouldn't have made this post. You are full of s**t. I know you read everyone's posts including mine. |

Welcome to the board. Is this your guess? based on rumor? or inside info? |

Eventhough I would endorse Stugart as the next head coach (provided he brings his own cordinators) I hope that he is not the tunnel vision head coaching hire that I suspect he is. My feeling is that Joe Glenn recommended him to the point where USD will not have a true national search. My fear is that he will also be convinced to keep Wes on the staff as well. If the above mentioned does happen than I would definately NOT endorse Stugart.

coyotefan - We all know how you feel about Glenn, Wes, etc. and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Most, including myself, disagree with you. Your continuous repeating of the same basic thing over and over and over again is not going to change anyone's opinion. Please give it a rest.

I'd rather talk about your collection of spores, mold, and fungus if you've got the time, Mr. Spengler. |

USD is conducting what many of you would call a national search. I've never understood the phrase myself because I highly doubt we are looking from Maine to California. I would think it is more of a regional search. Much debate will go on debating the merits of hiring an existing head coach, likely at a level below FCS. That could be D2 or D3. For easy referencing, Todd Hoffner or Glen Caruso. I only say them because of Coyote ties, not an endorsement in any manner.
Or do you hire a coach that is a coordinator at an FBS or FCS school that has shown a good deal of success? I found it interesting Lou Holtz talked about this subject earlier this week on XM radio, and he said that if you want to be more assured of your hire, you want to hire a coach that's been a head coach. He said, and cited himself as an example years ago, it's really tough to go from being a coach "making suggestions" to one "making decisions". I thought about that a lot, and it makes sense to me for us to hire an existing head coach.
Do I think Coach Stugart will be in the discussion, yes I do. Would he be considered a leading candidate? Not yet. I have heard he's a helluva guy, so I wouldn't rule him out at all. But this search will be detailed and broad. There is indeed a lot of interest and I'm grateful for that.
Lastly, I want to address Wesley. This young man deserves an interview. Many of us have been frustrated at times with his play calling, myself included. But what we don't know is what our capabilities are by position. I think Ryan Saeger is a fine young man, but he isn't a threat with his arm on a consistent basis. Play calling might very well be designed around the abilities of your skilled players. Wes is a fine young man...period. Do I think he'll get it? No. Do I think he deserves an interview? Yes I do. One thing we should never do is turn on one of our own, especially with a resume like Wes. He might very well be one hell of a head coach. He no,longer would be OC. I wouldn't underestimate his abilities. However, all that being said, it would be a difficult sell to the fans. Unlikely he will get it, but I wish for him nothing but the absolute best.

You however seem to live in the area and decide to have a conversation with yourself here every home game rather than go watch it. I never post, but this struck a chord with me....comparing one's alma mater to a restaurant is ridiculous. I choose to buy football season tickets, because I am a loyal fan of the University of South Dakota...win or lose. My buying tickets and attending is my show of support. To me it is not like a restaurant, it is supporting the student athletes who attend the same school in which I am so proud to be an alum. Sure, I want the Coyotes to win, but will support them win or lose. I would love to also attend basketball games, but with the change in scheduling due to the move to D1, the weekday games are not feasible. However, I do enjoy watching online when they are on. And on the subject of a new coach, how about Brad Salem, QB coach for Michigan State? South Dakota connections. |

Brad Salem is a fine young man. He has had head coaching experience. His name is synonymous with older alumni. But my guess is Brad workd be a candidate at a MAAC school or similar, and USD isn't a big enough fish.

It would have to take some kind of Joe Glenn levels of love for the Yotes for Salem to come to Vermillion. |

I guess I fail to see the hype with Brad Salem and why he should be a top candidate for the Coyote job if he wanted it. He was at Augustana for 5 years and had a modest 31-26 record so hardly dominated in D2. I believe he has now been with Michigan State 6 or 7 years and has only been quarterback's coach or running's back coach during that time frame. IMO that is not a big enough resume to be a head coach in the Valley. As far as I am concerned if he wasn't the OC or DC than I am not really interested unless he dominated as a head coach which he did not. I know USD people love the Salem name because of his father but he is not qualified to be the head coach here ahead of some of the other candidates that have been mentioned. The only coach I can think of that has ties to USD that I would want back would be Caruso. I maybe forgetting someone but there just isn't many qualified candidates that have USD ties. Ironically the ones that do have ties to USD that have the best resumes are the ones that coached under Meierkort, you know the guy that is personally hated more by the day by certain Coyote Fans.

Well Caruso was a coach under Ed too but I don't think it matters. Anyways I can't agree with you on this one. Have you seen the backs and QBs that have been developed in Lansing since he's been there?? It's a resume that is more than qualified to coach a mid tier MVFC program. That and he's also the recruiting coordinator there and they have hit on so many underrated guys over the years, it's a huge part of the reason that program has risen (#1 being Dantonio is a hell of a coach). With that said, I have no idea why he would come back for this job. |
