Does anyone know what areas Rudy and Knauf recruited? Just worried if they recruited some of these guys should we be worried?

Not Freunds fault that Rudy didn't put more speed guys in. Had Izzy (when healthy), McKinney, and Greibel. And not to mention putting Santiago out in the slot.... I do agree with you though on getting someone from the outside with more experience as a D1 coach. Could Freund do it? Idk. I hope Bubba isn't ready to gamble on that in the position that he's in.

This is definitely one the things Fruend has going for him. But is it enough to gamble on especially in the position that bubba is in? Also have to take in consideration if Fruend leaves? Could he take a job as a coach at a D2 school somewhere?

I have the same feeling but don't agree with it. Don't get me wrong I like Fruend and think he's done an amazing job with the WR's but he just doesn't have enough experience to get the job. What would have been nice is Rudy getting fired during the season and then Fruend getting interim OC. Then we could have seen what Freund is capable of. (Yeah I know that never would happen) UND needs to find someone with experience as an OC and also someone who as had SUCCESS! Not some NAIA coach or D2 coach that hasn't had much success...

http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/football/4531446-und-football-coach-bubba-schweigert-makes-coaching-staff-shakeup Schweigert said he would like to move as quickly as possible to fill these roles, adding he’s open to a change in offensive philosophy. Well that's interesting.....

Good news! Really liked is upside and his frame. Excited to see what he can do.

NAU head coach Jerome Souers is retiring

Eastern Illinois. Went 27-30 in 5 years with 1 playoff appearance (blowout loss to UNI). Record was 3-8 this year.

There was another school that fired their head coach after 5 season, 1 playoff appearance, and about the same win/loss record as bubba. Just cant remember what school it was??

Wow! Scared the crap out of me just thinking of that.

Imagine Santiago 1 on 1 with a linebacker!

I had the same feeling last year until he said he wasn't making any changes to his staff. Will you still support him if he doesn't make any changes??

Have you watched this team at all the last 5 years? According to you it should take 10 years to get good depth? Anybody who has been watching this team since bubba has taken over can see that he has more cons then pros. Don't use TE in the passing game anyways. Alex Cloyd is a junior and was supposedly a highly recruited player so the COACHES are to blame for not DEVELOPING him. So we should just use SU as an excuse? There are plenty of kids out there Bubba just isn't finding the right ones. (recruiting kids with no other D1 offers) I'd rather start over then keep what hasn't been working. If your saying it that way then you could also say they UND was a couple plays away from being 4-7 (SHSU and Portland State). So would you still be saying the same thing? 6-5 or 4-7 equals a sh$%^ football season. Changes need to be made!!!

It may be the way Bubba wants to run the offense but its Rudy's Plays/Schemes/Formations. Rudy wasn't qualified for the Job and has shown us that. If he and a few others arnt gone then Bubba has to go.

Ok that's what I thought. Well we all know Rudy didn't see something and change the play so its probably not a rumor....

I think we should have at least got to see what Zimmerman could do. We did see some good things when he came in for Studsrud a few times. Seems it was what the coaches saw in practice with him. But we cant go by that because our HC, OC/QB coach are not good at picking the right QB for the job (Heidelbough). Think one of the games last year Zimm audibled and they play went for positive yards and still got yelled at by Rudy?

Do they usually do interviews with bubba on Mondays? I hope Tom Miller asks bubba the same question as he did last year. "Are there going to be any coaching changes" and if bubba answers the same way he did last year.....can him!!!!

Something has to change! Period! What bubba is doing now is just not working (obviously). I don't go tailgating every home game and get season tickets to watch a terrible football team. If bubba wont change things then why should I support him and his football team. Why would I renew my season tickets and tailgating spots next year if its going to be the same result?!? Bill Chavez is getting an email from me and I hope a lot of people because if bubba isn't going to do anything then the AD better. This is unacceptable!!!!

Sooo to help UND's chances some of these teams need to win today??? Montana Weber State McNeese Maine Missouri State WIU

The sad part is that bubba would be happy with this stat even after losing by 51 points. Glad UND didn't play EWU this year.

After Nicholls state won last night I thought I saw one of the Hero sports guys say that that will probably the only southland school in?!? Incarnate Words las two games of the season (which one was last night) was cancelled against North Alabama (Independent transitioning to FCS) and then Iowa State so that means they finish probably 6-5. Lamar, ACU, and McNeese are all 6-4 which Lamar and McNeese play each other next so one of those two are out. One of ACU's wins is against a Division 2 school so they're out. McNesses' only good win is against Nicholls and Lamar played an NAIA school so I don't see either of them getting it.

Couple positive things I noticed were Maag and JJ both were practicing. One negative thing I noticed was that Rudolph is still there...
