For me, the extension signals that mediocrity in football is good enough. I hate to say it, but this wasn't deserved in my opinion. Part of the motive here was to help recruiting because anything less than a 3 year contract these days is leveraged against a program.

Program leadership might be the dark horse.

What the shyt is going on here?

A candidate would have to run a fairly unique version of the 34 which is bubba's precious and take a moderate salary for their trouble. Oh and there is a good chance that they could be let go after next season. The reality is that quality coaches were not going to be interested. Hire in house and get it over with I suppose.

The coaching "family" has been small for about 4 decades now. Bubba was part of that family and a big reason why he got the job.

The divide between top teams and the bottom teams in the FCS is very wide, yet the program finds a way to be both good and bad at the same time. Play well with Weber but also get wacked by isu. Have good players at one position but are basically empty at others. It's hard to say where we're at.

I get the feeling that Engelstads are not crazy about Sanford.

Kett don't have time for post game pressers anymore, he's gotta go be a navy seal.

My favorite part of this season was Kett's positive can-do attitude.

Our very own Navy seal can't keep his mouth shut.

Nicholls is close to breaking long touchdown runs. Defense is getting gobbled up at the point of attack

I highly doubt Wanzek can go, no insider info but just an educated guess. I'm sure they are leaving his status ambiguous to give Nicholls something to think about.

Chaves publicly hyped his bid and then had it beat in the first round. Honestly it's a pathetic look but oh well, still a game to play. Point is, less talk more action.

What was the huge bid by Chaves? Have they released the numbers? I'm starting to wonder if it was lip service...

Would be very tough to win in Brookings.

I appreciate commitment. Wish the best for them.

When "effort" does not bring results, then it might be time to question "ability" but I digress. We'll have to wait until next season either way.

A school can guarantee their ticket to the playoffs with an easy schedule but they ain't gonna beat anyone when they get there. Scheduling has to be balanced, it's not that hard to figure out really. Although putting a schedule together years in advance can be one big guess.

Bubba was in playoff mode yesterday. His cheeks were extra rosy

The crowd looks like they're at a gardening expo

Does Kett have his hair French braided?

Contemporary 34 is used mostly to get one on one matchups for star edge rushers. Pure 34 alignments are pretty rare with spread offenses though, it's become various hybrid fronts now. Bubba's style is definitely a rarity these days, 34 zone blitzing with the secondary playing deep quarters. It's a lot of the same stuff from back in the good old days. I honestly can't tell if the scheme is good or not so good. Sometimes it makes teams look terrible, sometimes we get gashed.

There is the possibility that bubba retires and takes a fundraising job or goes out to pasture at umary. Chaves would let him wait until the end of the season to save face and have a shred of dignity. If that happens, who knows where the hiring process goes. Both coordinators would probably like to apply but the way the season is going that would be a bit awkward.

Navy seals currently not taking new applicants. Navy planktons are open though

I wonder if #3 is gonna run the ball?
