    I watched the NDSU MSU game this afternoon and it's a tragedy we didn't get to play MSU during the season.   Brady, John, and JJ would have run wild on these guys.   I can see why NDSU won, MSU is vastly overrated.

    Msu is extremely over rated but they would have shut down Rufus’s offense. Unds backs would  of done exactly nothing vs MSU.  Look at the last month ..und was incapable of anything offense against way lower competition  Msu is in only because the fcs is horrible this year.  And btw , ndsu is on a while different planet this year ...they embarrass anyone that lines up against them...fcs speaking

    I suspect there's some fans that really miss bit#hing about it after the game. 

    You are on to something Caption obvious. The last month was a disaster....agree?  Does disaster in your books equate to bitching?  

    Do you really think fans want to bitch?   Do you think they bitch to  bitch?  Or would they prefer a winner and be happy?  Are the fans bitching because und is successful or because they are 49% winning percentage at the D1?

    Nice to see Colgate win.  Tough D just nothing offensively.  I could them getting shut out in Fargo next weekend.

    Also of note.   Unds home opener, Drake, lost only 24-27 @ # 23 Iowa st.

    This is Sioux Sports...everyone has an issue with everything.

    In football terms ....I can see the hard core fans having issues with most everything  being average ....actually it would be considered below average (49% career d1 winning percent ).  If people on here did not have issues with being an under .500 program I would be more worried.  Sioux sports gives everyone an outlet of expression.  Some good some bad some not sure. Personally...I was hoping after 11 years in d1 that I would be able to experience 1 playoff win.  Issue?  Not an issue?

    That comment from bubba cemented my “take” on if he is cut out for HC abilities.   

    The UND connection has had 11 years leading the und football program in the D1 era....culminating a 61-63 (49%) record.....one playoff appearance and zero playoff wins. 

     

    With bubba admitting that he wasn’t able to recognize the offensive fail for five years...I can not see how there will be enough change or leadership next year that would warrant und either making the playoffs or winning a playoff game.  

    Bubba is 30-29 (nearly identical to mussman) as a HC at und.  Next years schedule screams difficult.  Is he up to the challenge?

    Really? You don’t say ...

    What was he paying attention to these past 5 years, then? He’s supposed to be the HEAD coach.

    Let’s hope he actually learns from this.

    This here ^^

    Does the same explanation  explain why kostich is still here....hasn’t paid enough attention to special teams play?  Maybe next year he will notice ?

    New OC Danny Freund

    in Football

    Posted

    Bit torn with freund as OC.  Would of liked to seen UND bring in some new blood ...but it is what it is.  I’m cautiously optimistic but most of  all.... excited that Rudy is no longer the OC. Major upgrade already  

     

    Potential Likes/ positives with the hire: 

    -UND returns a lot .  Freund knows what each can bring to the table....including the incoming recruits.  

    - I would expect minimal players transferring as Danny connects very well with the players.  If it was a complete coaching overhaul it could of been a different story  

    -IMO, incoming recruits should see this change as an upgrade with a younger, hopefully competent positional coach accepting the OC. 

    - he should bring some energy to a 5 yr stale offense.  Players will feed off of that 

    - Anything is an upgrade from Rudy . Period  

     

    Potential dislikes/ negatives : 

    - he brings ZERO experience in as an OC. Being a good college QB, being a nice guy that connects well with people, being a rah rah positional coach,  bleeding Kelly green ...etc ..doesn’t mean he will be a successful OC.   The offense is his now. He needs to be prepared for all types of circumstances.  Decisions are significantly magnified.  

    - will we see the same styled offense as the last fives years with some minimal changes?   Has he been “institutionalized”? I doubt it but we shall see 

     

     

    Next year ...hope to see improvements across the board....hope to see Freund kill it ....hope to see und in the playoffs.

    F’ it. Go for the W and beat cow college.

    Need to be way more aggressive than the offense was in 2015.

    Go for the win, UND. Then leave the Fargodome as it implodes with riots in the background.

    Agreed.  Now that Rudy (my nemesis) is gone I feel und is very capable.  

    This is a good time to get ndsu. They will be in full reload (still have plenty of talent) and und returns most of their starters.  If , IF...und finds a competent OC, I don’t see why und cant do it.   Ndsu won’t have any tape to look at as to what und runs offensively so maybe UND will actually bring an element of surprise to ndsu with a newly installed offense.

    Since we know for sure who’s gone and who’s staying I’m satisfied with Rudy being gone.  Four years to late but it needed to happen. Finally 

     

    *please do not hire from within! New blood! 

    * Being at e wash, the offensive capital of the fcs, Chavez must have some connections or leads.  Use them 

    * bubba has a defensive background .  The new guy should be given 100% offensive call rights  Give him the keys with full confidence 

    * looking for risk taker, a guy that is able to adjust to in game situations, mix up the pass and run as needed, study film on opposing Ds to attack their weakness or weaknesses and USE YOUR PERSONAL APPROPRIATELY !  Offense 101 

      

     

    If the attrition holds , there is a lot returning starters combined with talent. Next years team has potential to be very good.   If they are able to find a competent OC (anything will be an upgrade) and the guys are able to learn the system quickly ...this could be a fun group to watch.  I’m cautiously optimistic but nevertheless optimistic.  I would have to think that the defense is happy with today’s news as well  

    UND plays @ndsu @ e wash @ Weber , uc Davis , Montana st next year.  Und will need some offense to keep pace with these teams.  

    Great move by bubba today.

    If Rudy gets Santiago the ball in space 10 times a game he will take at least 2 to the house.  The play-calling and scheme was almost unreal.  Maybe in the future we will just recruit 3 backs better than, John, Brady and James.

    Opposing defenses had no element of surprise playing und.  Bring your safeties in tight and stop the run...done!   Year after year after year !!   Every offensive player was set up to fail. 

    I heard opposing coaches interviewed on pre game and numerous of them mentioned ...” you know what you’re getting with und”.     No &$&#....we all did!

    Look at the regression of Johnny from his freshman year to SR year. Remember how many long runs he busted that season? Year by year we saw those go away. Whether it was training, play calling or the players around him. I feel bad that he didn't turn into more than what he ended up. Don't get me wrong, he had a spectacular career, but you'd be lying if you don't think he had potential to be on another level. Think if he would've improved a little each year after his freshman season. WOW. Say all you want about being keyed on and all that bogus because all great players have that problem and continue to be successful. 

    Look at what happened to Kett slowly over the season. Compare his first 5 games to his last 3. He went from a confident risk taking gun slinging mobile QB to a scared puppy with concrete feet. Unreal 

    Exactly 

    Santiago’s stats

    ”15”-   1459 yards 16 tds

    ”16”-  983 yards and 7 tds

    ”17”-   717 yards and 5 tds 

    “18”-  588 yards and 1 td ....yes 1 td his senior year

    He had (9) 100 yard games his freshman year and (8) 100 yard games total for his sophomore, junior and seniors years. 

    33 career receptions is criminal as well.    He should of average all of that per season.

    What's happening with the OL? Pass protection and run blocking have regressed from early in the year. Injuries? Season wearing on them? They can be better, but last few games haven't been.

    When you an offense is predictable, which unds obviously is ....the opposing teams D job is made easy.  With UND a run heavy team they stack the box .   The OL becomes the “issue” then as they are trying to block numerous players to every one of the OL.
