"That Desk" | Head Football Coach's Office | University of North Dakota

Описание: The desk in the old head coach's office for the University of North Dakota football team was one of legend - both good and bad. It was big, ugly and everyone wanted to move it out. However, there was something special about the history of coaches that used it for 50 years.

UND football coaches talked about that desk, as the office and Memorial Stadium were razed in the spring of 2021. The coaches included current leader Kyle “Bubba” Schweigert, and former leaders such as Chris Mussman, Roger Thomas and Dale Lennon.

They recalled the massive old wooden desk in the head coach’s office that all of them used – not necessarily because they wanted to.

“That desk,” Schweigert said incredulously before pausing. “(That desk) has been there a long time. I have to believe that the office was built around it.”

Mussman, thinking back to times he and others tried to budge it before finally giving up, called it the UND version of the “Resolute Desk,” the famed piece of presidential furniture in the Oval Office.
