That's not a coaching problem, that's a funding problem

Quite possibly. We really need to know what competent assistant coaches are paid in the MVFC. At a place saturated with money like NDSU, we would logically expect them to pay quite well. But I wonder if the rest of the schools in the league are able to pay their coaches more than we do.

At many (most successful) programs the people that donate large sums of money are interested in winning. Ours seem to be only interested in getting their name on something. And Strollo is good at giving them what they want and they love him. Until this changes we will never be competitive with top teams.
YSUGO:
I have said all along it was a money issue. We let one of the best recruiters in the nation go…who had won awards from his peers as an assistant. His name was Wolford. He made 2 mistakes. One not putting his foot down in getting a bigger money pool for assistants. The other mistake was playing #8 at safety. His teams past the eye test physically. Till we get more money somehow we will be mediocre. Which makes me feel that the AD failed to find the money or revenue stream for us to complete.
IAA Fan:
Well between Wolf and Pelini, you had almost opposite situations. Wolf had Montgomery on offense and no one ever ripened for his DC. Had Bo not showed up, Wolf would have been retained. Pelini had defensive coaches, but thought is was okay to allow 20-35 points per game as your offense was supposed to pile up points. Which is also why Nebraska never became "elite" under his direction. You cannot lose 1 or 2 games and be considered "elite". Bo and Montgomery just did not get along as Montgomery managed the clock. But Bo capitalized on Montgomery's recruits and assistants.

Montgomery's offense could not win against physical teams. Phillips is building a team that can run over other teams. That's what we need. Montgomery's offense would score a lot against inferior competition and would struggle to score when playing national title contenders. We had ZERO conference championships under Montgomery's offense. He couldn't beat the Dakota teams after they fully transitioned to FCS. He lost to Sam Houston when he was at JMU (likely with superior talent). I don't understand the man love for Montgomery. He was above average but not excellent and once he was figured out in the MVFC and the CAA his offenses would drop in their ranking nationally. He went from 10th to 14th in one year at JMU. He couldn't deal with the Tampa 2 defense very well either.
