I wouldn't settle. It's a premium job. So if we have mediocre candidates, I'm cool having a temporary. Jack Michaels was our interim guy after Scotty died and he was solid

Same here, the right guy for this job is so important. If we have to wait 6 months to land him, we will survive.

The jokes on Keith Brake as he would have been that interim guy had he not had a melt down and quit.

B Shawn just joined UND as their Midco TV voice because Alex Heinert was having conflicts with his Midco duties for hockey. Timing seems odd or maybe its just a coincidence. But I doubt Alex Heinert would leave.

Alex would be great for TV football or basketball, not sure i would want him as the radio guy. If Izzo jumped to radio and 1660 and Alex filled the TV role I wouldn’t be mad.
People have to remember the radio play by play role is not the only role to fill. We need someone to lead 1660 and fill it with quality programming.

Its quite the job. A 26 station radio network that goes from eastern Montana, every square inch of North Dakota, northern South Dakota and all the way to Minneapolis.
Up to 15 football games. Every mens BB game. Home baseball games
5 day a week 2 hour radio show.
Bison football coaches radio show is weekly.
Bison basketball radio show is weekly.
Jeff Culhane also did the weekly TV show that is on statwide TV
Then you got signing day specials. Playoff Selection day specials. Spring game.
And that's just the work Culhane did
Re: Jeff Culhane to FLORIDA STATE. congrats
Really disappointed to see Brian S. is going to do TV for the Fighting Wioux. He was the one local guy who could have done a great job. While I was no fan of Mr. Brake's politics, he would have been on the very short list for at least an interim shot. Wonder what the hell made him so mad that he quit.

I loved Keith on the pre and post game shows honestly. Actually, pretty much ANY time he strictly stuck to sports I thought he was great, come to think of it. But I thought his handling of live calls was actually quite good, that cant be easy lol. All the best to him!
