I think it is becoming safe to say that NDSU has hung on to Richman one year too long. No need to do anything until March now . . .
I think the timing of when to make a move is a big deal and NDSU really botched this one. The one extra year of DR has really hurt the program and this one year has set the program back multiple. We could really see something was wrong over the last couple of years. You would think that there would be some inside info on player exit interviews (if they do such a thing) that could have given Larson some light on the situation and be able to make a move at the right time. The "Well, he only has one year left" approach means you really didn't want him anyway.
We need a dynamic coach that's for sure. A whole new staff to evaluate and use the talent we have.
