So I did a little research on both mussman and bubba. Mussman was 31-34 at und. Bubba is 61-50 at und. Mussmans best year was 8-3 while be named coach of the year bubbas best is 9-3 while being named coach of the year. All the rest of the seasons were average to bad for both. I would say bubbas best team was the 2015 seasons. The roster was filled with mussmans recuits.
If you look at what both had to start with ….Bubba had much more. Again. Mussman took over day 1 for the D1 era. He worked namely with D2 guys. He had to recruit hard to get some talent here. And as we know it takes football recruits usually more than a couple months to get D1 ready. Bubba has much better facilities. Bubba had the big sky and mvfc to sell recruits to. Much more stable and prestige. FCS was also much stronger back then. So many schools have moved up that we’re competing for top dog. Now there’s a handful of decent teams.
To be clear …I’m not advocating that mussman was better than bubba. I’m advocating both were/are horrible head coaches. Bubbas firsr 4 years were a plus but now it’s like und is right back to 2012 but more frustrating because they have resources and knowledge that they didn’t have at the beginning of the D1 era. Bubbas sell to und is light years ahead of what mussman had to work with.
Beyond frustrating
Mussman was NOT a bad recruiter. We had Kenny Goliday who lit things up pretty good as a true freshman and then went FBS when Muss got the axe. Muss just didn't know what to do with some of his better recruits.

Guy could be dress like Farmer Fran from The Waterboy and I could care less, IF he can call a high-end offense and put points on the board.
Well I sure hope he's not looking like that when he's out recruiting. Trust me, people judge others by how they dress.

Forgive me for saying this, but who poses for a picture with his shirt and tie that disorganized? And he needs a shave. The picture reminds me of someone who just spent 6 hours at the office Christmas party. I sincerely hope he coaches better than he dresses. Color me not impressed.

Is bubba just stubborn or incompetent
I hate to say this but I think the best thing would be to tank this season and clean house. With our luck Bubba goes 6-6 and gets an extension

Any chance we can get a school to steal Bubba away from here?

Reality hit. He needs more experience else where for a Head coach resume. Im sure that was a discussion that was had between Polacek and Roehl.
I thought reality would have hit when he got his ass handed to him by UND.

I talked to an NDSU guy before Entz left and he was to the point he was hoping Roehl would leave or be replaced. Everyone was tired of Roehl running the same QB run up the gut. He probably got pushed out by the new Bison guy.

I really wonder why the Vikings didn't sign Wentz to finish out the year when Cousins went down. The wouldn't have had to trade a draft pick and it wouldn't have cost a lot of money.
And after two games and 7 interceptions Wentz would have been hurt again and they'd be back to square one.

He'll have to wear a suit, but no hat is required at home games because he'll be indoors.
(Dallas had a hole in the roof so that's why that Landry wore a hat at home.)
I doubt that hat was even removable. I always assumed it was permanently implanted

Really? Another delusional Packer fan who is drinking the puke green and p8*$% yellow kool-aid. In week 14 against the powerhouse Giants, Love was 25/39 for 218 years and 1 TD and I INT in a loss. The next week, the FudgePackers got boatraced by Tampa Bay at home. If the Packers are fortunate enough to get by the 49ers (which is very unlikely), they get the chance to get steamrolled by the Lions again. They won't catch the Lions sleeping again like Thanksgiving. It will be similar to the last 2 times in Green Bay. The FudgePackers are not even the best team in the North.
The Pack still made it further than the Vikings

"Top 5" program Albany disagrees with you!
Don't say that or Chaves will think that Bubba will turn things around eventually if given enough time. Yes Gattuso did turn that program around after ten years of failure.

Can’t change the past, but can learn from it to affect the future. That’s still important here, so think about that when the posts are regurgitated.
On that note, a career-concluding, decade-plus head coach is not what UND football needs right now.
But you can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results and that's what keeps happening.

Maybe Bubba will go to Washington for a couple of yrs and then come back.
More likely Klieman goes to Washington and then our old friend Gene Taylor hires Bubba at K State. Especially if Roger Thomas asks Taylor to do that.

Stig was at SDSU for a long time but he did elevate the program and he left on top and their program is in a good place
i think they will have coaches coming and going frequently now
not sure with Montana and their head coach coming and going and coming back but he did get them to the top again
maybe 1 year coaching contracts is the way to go
SDSU went to the SD Legislature and had the law changed so they could give Stig multi year contracts. They claimed it hurt recruiting, they wanted to reassure the kids that the coach would be around longer. No way does Bubba get to work to the end of his contract in 2025. He's either going to be fired or get extended just because of recruits.

Kleiman possibly to Washington. Bubba still at UND.
If only we had hired DeBoer, then Bubba might now be the new Alabama coach.

Iowa st 0-1
Montana 0-2
Idaho st. Toss up but at home 1-2
San Diego . 2-2
Murray st 3-2
Ndsu 3-3
N Iowa 3-4
Youngstown 3-5
Indiana st 3-6
SDSU 3-7
South Dakota hmm …toss up 3-8
illinois st 3-9
A lot depends on who’s coming back and transfers the teams will gain But as of right now with bubba at helm I see 3 to 4 win season
Idaho State was 3-8 last year. I know Indiana State was an ugly win for UND, but geez we'd better win those two at least along with wins against Murray and San Diego. But I'd ink South Dakota as a loss.

For those that think Bubba is going to see the writing on the wall and retire after next year, I'm betting he won't. No way is Bubba leaving $265,000 on the table and that's what he gets for 2025 if he get fired. That's a hell of a nice early retirement gift.

And the other co OC is going to be the play caller!! He sees the writing on the wall. Bubba is extended thru 2025, but if they fail to win a playoff game, he’s getting canned.
Maybe that’s a good thing. They will
Fire Bubba and the entire staff, then Danny comes in and interviews as an outside candidate and gets the job!! Boom!I was never excited about a Danny move up. If you're going to start over, then start over with a clean slate, not Bubba 2.0. Or is it Mussman 2.1?

And when the job comes open next year instead of being fired this year he will be able to apply after leading sdsu to another natty
But look at Danny's lineage. How many times has the word "inbred" been used to describe the problems at UND? He seems pretty attached to Bubba at the hip.

My hunch would be he indicated that he wasn't interested and was actively looking elsewhere at the time
