I’ll reserve my judgement on this until next season plays out, but until then, I’m hesitant to call any of these recent moves “good for the program.”

This is just ridiculous. Yes, 2 assistants are gone. One got a job as an AD which is a huge opportunity, why wouldn't he take it? The other left to go back to the conference he played in under a coach he has history with, neither of those moves are negative in any way at all. Super happy for both of them and excited for the new blood coming in. While I'm bummed about Cam leaving, I'm not surprised and we definitely have the talent on the team and coming in to fill the gap. Offers to move up this year were going to be limited, with everything going on with COVID not too many programs are going to want to make a change with all the uncertainty and without a tournament the national showcase of mid-major teams and coaches didn't get to happen. No, he doesn't have the big signature win and that is disappointing. I don't always agree with his coaching schemes and adjustments but we just won back to back Summit League titles and should be a top contender in the league again next season, time to stop the hate.
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Do we play the style of offense I prefer, no, do I wish we could make better adjustments to pull off a few big OOC wins, yes, I've been plenty critical of these things. However, we just went 13-3 in conference, won the conference tournament after also winning last years tournament where nobody gave us a chance and we continue to recruit talented players that are coming in and making an impact. Good luck finding more than a handful of mid major programs that wouldn't want to trade places with us. Do I want more, of course I do, as a fan who doesn't. I have dreams of us being a top 25 team and making tournament runs like the UNI's, Wichita St's and Creighton's (before they were a Major conference program) of the world, I would love to see that happen here. The fact of the matter is whether you like him or not, Dave is getting the job done and this thread shouldn't even exist anymore because I'm not sure how somebody who just won back to back conference titles is running a program into the ground.
NDSU should strive to be a UNI, WICHITA, Creighton. WE should be getting 5000 fans a night in a town and putting on a show for entertainment, You can't tell me there aren't 2500-3000 basketball fans in Fargo area more.
We aren't doing either of those things right now. We should be dominating the Summit, outside of SDSU and sometimes ORU it's hot garbage.
