With every Bison victory I become increasingly frustrated with Bubba and Company and their total inability to build off the Bison victory while our rivals got it together and went on a run. Our coaching failures on display once again.

It is a good facility, would be nice if a bowl concept on south end could be done, same with the Betty
until we sell out both we just need plans in place for expansion
sound system to me has never been top shelf
The sound was so bad the first couple of games I considered letting my tickets go -extremely loud crap not only during breaks but in between every play. I had a guest who could hardly stand it. They seemed to have toned it down a bit later and actually played some songs that fired up the crowd.

This staff won’t develop anything considered more than average or slightly above average defense. Bubba and his defensive assistants - despite being labeled “defensive guys” - are outdated and not capable anymore. Time has passed them by. It’s not 2001 anymore.
The whole Holinka leaving for St. Thomas and Schwenzfeier getting promoted thing last off-season was a major red flag and proved to be true this past season. Bubba is in over his head.If/when Freund gets the head job, curious what he’d do with the defensive side of the ball.
He'd instill a defense to stop the 2 yard pass - the most dangerous play in football.

Sometimes I think the only one that can stop Danny is Danny.

You read my post correct. @Sioux95 is just digging for something that isn’t there.
Back to the actual conversation, I’m glad to hear Bo is back. I hope we can use him more efficiently with a different QB and different offensive gameplan. We’re going to need him to step up even more next season!
What have you seen from Bubba that makes you think we will have a different offensive gameplan?

It reminds me of back in the day. Had a bad year. Next offseason was hard as hell. The next season was a success. The following offseason was not as hard. That season was not as successful with a more talented team.
IMO coaches need to prepare their team like their job is on the line every game. That’s the difference between a Nick Saban and the guys who taste the bottom of his boots.
Exactly - but we know that the coach's job is never on the line when you can get renewed at 5-6. Absolutely no demand for excellence - just shucky darn we have to play better. Every time the Bison get closer to the playoff finals I get real irritated that Bubba took a classic victory and turned it into crap in one game while the Bison took a humiliating defeat and upped their game. Absolutely no excuse for this (and no consequences).

In my opinion the biggest problem at the GF airport is the absolutely brutal schedule Delta has in order to make any connection in Minneapolis. It seems like you must take the 5:00 AM flight which means getting up at 3-3:30 AM - a hell of a way to start a business trip or vacation. People who live outside of the GF area must get up earlier. For some of us that means only 3-4 hours of fitful sleep. And by far the most common return time is around midnight. A western hub would also be useful.

After watching Danny's offensive strategy this year if he is the best candidate we are in trouble.

This is another perfect example; it appears from his interviews that Bubba gets it. He says the right things, it does seem like he's self-aware of his teams shortcomings. Not optimistic that anything will actually change, but worth noting.
Wait and see.
It's good that Bubba is taking a hard look at talent - agree with the wait and see though. However, will he take the same hard look at coaching? Game preparation, ability to motivate (the drop after the Bison game is stunning), game management, clock management, offensive play calling and philosophy, defensive scheme, 3rd down play, the chart he uses for 2 point conversions, I could go on. Because unless these are evaluated we will get more of the same. His 10 year history shows change is glacial.

A little bit chicken/egg argument as to if it's coaching or talent - a bit of both with the understanding that coaches recruit talent. But we sure aren't getting the best out of the talent we have. After the SU game I thought wow - Bubba finally turned the corner. Wrong. The regression from that game was stunning. What kind of staff can't build off of that victory? Looking back the Dancing Bubba video almost seems like a cruel joke.

When they decided to take away the catwalk our group of 20 shrank in half the following year. This year we had 4 of us left with us 4 undecided for next year.
The Catwalk issue shows how out of touch the Alerus and Athletic Department are with the average fan - they just don't seem to care at all. If no one will listen to that issue imagine how much they care about our opinion of the Football Program.

we need a culture of winning not a culture of mediocrity. AD has to “grow a pair” like my cardiologist would say after a meeting. Then it goes down the organizational chart, IMHO.
Does anyone know if Chaves understands our frustration? He is silent on this and almost every other issue but his past actions speak loudly. Bubba is hard-wired to be Bubba and Danny is regressing by the year. Neither seem to be able to adapt at all. I have zero confidence that anything will change next year.

Danny turned down a free meal … again.
It’s OK to run the ball, especially if you’re doing it at 6 yards a play.
Don't know what's gotten into Danny lately - when he started he showed so much promise

I wasn’t sure where to put this, so I started a new topic. I am watching the Minn/Mich State game which is being played at Mariucci and couldn’t help but notice the shadows of the players and locations where the light hits the ice. I pulled up the highlights from last nights UND game at the Ralph and see very little of the shadowing. It seems that the lighting is distributed better at the Ralph. One of those things you don’t notice is very good until you see it not so good somewhere else.
Interesting about lighting - for the first couple of hockey games this year I was almost blinded by the spotlights on the bottom of the scoreboard - not sure that they are a new addition but the sequencing was new - when they flashed into the crowd they hit me right in the eyes - after cataract surgery they sure had a bad effect. Last couple of games were much better.

Chaves didn’t hire Bubba so how would anyone know if he wouldn’t hire a good replacement?
He didn't hire him but he did give him an extension before his contract was due after a 5-6 season. That's probably a good indication.

Name one coach that he’s hired that has gone to do good things
I know a buy out is a problem but is there any indication that Chaves "gets it" at all concerning the FB program? He clearly didn't in 2021. Our game planning and in-game adjustments are the worst I have ever seen. What will it take for the light to go on in his head? We can complain or alternately support the program with more money all we want but until the AD sees winning as a priority welcome to our future - rinse, repeat.

The offense has been stale, and predictable all season long. My 16-year-old can predict the plays. I am not impressed with the Offensive Coordinator. There needs to be wholesale changes in the offseason.
This is UND where nothing changes but the weather

Teams under Bubba seem to do that pretty much every season that starts out looking good. They then will go on the road and play average/good teams and lay an egg (or eggs, as they did this season) then return home with all momentum lost/soured fans. They gotta figure out that road issue.
It's been 10 years - the learning curve must be pretty steep

Cripes. Hate to see what Sioux fans would do if things were going as badly in GF as they are in Daloot. They can't beat anybody better than Northern or Bemidji and they play dirty to boot. Their coaches must have tenure.
3 championships will give you that.

One of the most salifying and yet frustrating game I have ever seen. Now let's make a playoff run.
-
My prediction - our offensive play calling and defense will straighten out today and we will play a great game. Good mix of calls to keep the opponent guessing. But true to form these changes won't last and very soon - probably early in the playoffs - we will revert to the game management that drives us all nuts.
