Who Will Be The Next Defensive Coordinator?

Posted on January 9, 2020 by 6 Comments

With the news that former UND defensive coordinator Eric Schmidt was moving on to Fresno State, we naturally started the wheels in motion to try and compile a list of replacements. This much we know: UND is keeping the 3-4 defense so they need to find somebody well-versed in coaching it. Play-calling experience is not

In what is a bit of a unique recruiting season, UND will be holding their only recruiting weekend before the early signing day this coming Saturday & Sunday.
