Longtime fan

und 49-21. Without Rudy und 21-24. With Rudy.

Und has played or will play 9 of their 10 games vs opposing defenses that are in the bottom 1/3 of the fcs....port st is next. The easy call is that Unds offense, injuries or not , will be ok or below average vs another soft big sky defense. This years senior class was jipped out of the playoffs because of coaching. Santiagos talent was never like it was during his freshman year because of coaching. Und won zero playoff games for this seniors class because of coaching. As a fan ...sick and tired of being average. Und has been average or below that for way to long. I expected zero from Rudy this year and once again he delivered. Five years!! Special teams was a atrocious ....and the D has been hit or miss Any average team with the slightest of slightest hopes for the playoffs, its last home game of the season and the seniors farewell party should put away port st ...will und? I will enjoy my beer on the catwalk heckling port st

I have always loved the way Brady plays ....just using him as an example. Also, I’m just referring to seniors in that post. reason for the seniors comment ....this is it for them. 1 playoff game for their career is BS ....what a slap in the face Thete are plenty of areas that need an upgrade at talent but there is enough talent at other positions for this team to be currently undefeated in vs fcs competition. Outside of a couple of matchups (ndsu and maybe SDSU) ....I believe a competent coaching staff could get this group to the semis Speed is the biggest need for the team. From the backers to the safeties on D and the skilled positions on offense.

Im just sickened for players like Brady that puts everything he/they have into the game. These seniors deserved better. They have the talent this year and it’s been wasted.

Yeah it’s bad. Of course UND has to win the remaining two games and yeah......

As much as they don’t deserve to be in (coaches) ....there is a very small chance they could still make it. Trying to fill out a playoff bracket is a mess. There’s going to be a lot of teams that are not playoff worthy that will be in the playoffs.

Bubbas loyalty will need a push from the AD. Pretty simple at this point ....option A (changes to his staff) or option B ( complete overhaul)

100%

Five years of it. I don’t get how he (Rudy) has kept his job. I’ve screamed and complained until I’ve been blue in the face. The lack of TE usage is mind boggling. This style of offense is perfectly suited for TE usage. Cloyd was wide open by 30 yards in the 3rd qtr vs Weber and Kett threw it into triple coverage to Wanzek Kett needs to be coached up. He locks on without a doubt. Wished he'd buck the current regime and use the TEs.

I believe und would be undefeated vs fcs competition if Rudolph was not the OC. Special teams has been atrocious and has added nothing, outside of two tds vs Weber, the D can take blame as well but the offensive side, now with a solid OL, is loaded with talent. In only two games has unds offense reached the average points allowed by an opposing teams D. Weber is the only team not giving up 30+ points a game.

Last home game, Portland st, is a hot team. Just missed out beating Idaho st last night.

I think any team in the nation could blame injuries to a certain degree but it’s far from the problem. This coaching staff is extremely hard headed and won’t budge from their plan. That is the problem. Injuries or not would of changed the outcome this year

I know you are coach Rudolph. You will not get an apology from me for the last five years of me calling you out. These kids deserved better.

Competitive with ok teams

-You have to be coach Rudolph.

Coaches

A good OC would correct those problems.

Thank you seniors for giving it your all when the coaches were giving it maybe 25%. Feel bad for the young men. They deserve better as the talent was there.

Und with this coaching staff gets throttled 3/4 of the games in the mvfc.

I blame the Santiago injury on the coaching staff. As much as he was probably advocating to get in the game ....no way he should of seen the field against sac. That was easy peasy kindergarten level decisions and unfortunately a kindergarten decision was made to play him.

Bubba wants a power team. They are as close of being a power team as N Colo is. Big sky is a finesse league and und was beat up in this league hard headed coaches with non adjusting ways = Wrong recipe Five years on “okness “ is enough! One year of playoffs and zero playoff wins =sad and disappointing Love you bubba but your loyalty and conservative nature caught up to you. Its on you

Well at least Santiago and senior crew were able to witness one playoff game.

Yup.... and 5 years later is still the OC?? Bubba loyalty at its best.

Nope

Unds staff is full of rah rah guys...they need guys that know the Xs and Os of football
