And that, for me, is Bill Chaves in a nutshell.” This is a wild quote

https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1248-hawk-talk-100915705/episode/bill-chaves-pod-ep-164-242031913/ 39 minutes in starts talking about football. He’s frustrated, but won’t do anything about it seems

They have a good week of prep every week! How are we not 12-0?

Do bison fans take over the game at the Alerus next year?

In a press conference like this, there has to be something like “I let my guys down and we as a staff have to do a lot better to get to where we want to be. This year proves we have a lot of work to do” Instead it’s “We’ve made the playoffs the last 4 out of 6 years and I’m disappointed for our guys”

Again, I’m not talking about the talent level. Augustana is probably pretty close to a lot of lower tier FCS teams. It’s unfortunate that they had to play D2 teams, and I think it wasn’t SDSU or USD first choice as teams bailed on them. Right or wrong the committee has always looked at the number of D1 wins as a method of evaluation for these teams.

Lmao Kelly retweeted this on the 360 account.

Just watched the press conference. “We are still evaluating” means to me that there is a chance for some shake up there

I was just about to actually

When you’ve been a head football coach somewhere for over 10 years, and the best case is 6-6 or 7-5. Unreal

They’ve been laughing for quite some time now. Go back and look at Twitter when they announced the last extension.

Didn’t even fire Joel?

1 more year. #DayByDay #LeaveNoDoubt

We can have this conversation for another year

Anyone know when his presser is today?

The UNI game was so weird to me. I don’t remember playing all that well and we won 31-7

I’m not giving my portion of the tickets either. I always look forward to making it to games in the fall, next year I might be looking forward to the tailgate more than the game itself.

We still showed up this year. Would have been an even higher average if you just win on the road against Youngstown and Indiana State. Expect this number to drop significantly if Bubba is back. I know a couple of people in my group that won’t be getting season tickets again.

Not that there is technically a big difference from some D2 teams and the !@#!$ FCS teams, the main thing is the fact that teams know how D2 games can affect them for seeding, it isn’t something new. NDSU non-conference ended up looking better than it usually does with Tennessee State and East Tennessee State both having solid seasons.

Much better defense this time around.

7 wins assumes wins on the road against UNI and Southern Illinois. Not sure if I see that happening. Sure they both may be awful next year, but so were Youngstown State and Indiana State this year.

It’s finally to the point IMO where a 7-4 season with a first round playoff game doesn’t save him. If he’s back you are exactly right, it will be a lame duck disaster of a year. It’s going to be such an obvious waste of time because we know what he is capable of.

So realistically speaking: Bubba will have his end of the year conference tomorrow. He will start by recapping the previous game and either announce staff changes or get asked about them. And then we move on forward with him for next year? I hope I’m wrong but I just done see them buying him out at this point. Chaves is extended through June 2026. They let him go after spring of 2025 and hire new AD. New AD is able to hire new football coach after Bubba wins 4 games next year.

Agreed. I’m of the opinion that it shouldn’t be either. I would maybe consider Schluessner, but would like someone without UND ties

Please just have it actually be a true national search. Not just give it to Fruechte or offer to Freund without evaluating all possible options
