Feb 1st - 2017
Richman's record at NDSU was 58-29, the Bison were in control and on top of the Summit conference standings by 3 games. Then they lose in OT to IUPUI, finish 4-5 down the stretch of conference play to finish 2nd in the standings, and then get blown out against 7 seed IUPUI by 20 points in the first round of the Summit tournament.
Since Feb 1st/2017, Richman is 29-32 and the program has shown the slimmest of margins of progression, and I say slimmest because the team is young this year and somewhat competing.
I remember people were saying the collapse in 2017 was no big deal, and others were saying it was a very big deal. Looks like the "others" were correct.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
Apparently this coaching staff has never been able to recover from whatever went down back then. It's past time to clean house. Need new blood in the coaching staff.
How about Jeff Boschee?

First, if he gets to 20 wins with this team he definitely will/should be retained. Second, going 6-2 to close out the regular season and then 2-1 in Sioux Falls would only get them to 18 wins. Third, I'd be shocked if they can go 6-2 in the 2nd half of conference play with 4 road games and a home game with SDSU.
His older brother played at UND. Also, Jack Michaels had him on the Fan over the noon hour a few years ago when NDSU was in the NCAA tourney. Jack talked to Jeff about his experience in the NCAA tourney and then wanted to take the local angle about how cool that was that NDSU was in and Jeff didn't sound to care at all about NDSU.

23-32 is you ONLY the D1 Wins ( padding W-L stats with Northland College and mayville shouldnt count )
like i said.. they should win 5 in a row here, even then they will finish .500 at best (take out 2 non D1 wins) and he shouldn't be brought back, but NDSU AD is such a wimp and NDSU is so strapped for cash, they will probably give him a 1 year extension
i watched Matt Mooney and Texas Tech the other night, they were flying down the court, fast passes, alley opps like dunk City (FGCU) man I would KILL to have that at NDSU!! lets be exciting if we arent going to be a mid major dynasty
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
