I don't see UND moving Bubba to another position. First off, they'd have to create a new job for him and they'd have to fund it. Second is Bubba is under contract and has to agree to it and why would he when he's guaranteed $750,000 with what he has. Actually he's getting even more if he coaches to the end.

So FBS is limited to 85 schollies and I've been under the impression they can't do partials like FCS, so the rest of the players were all getting nothing except maybe some NIL money?

Why would the OC deliberately play the worst QB? That makes no sense. Now if you're saying the OC made a horrible decision and didn't seem to understand who was better, that I could understand.

If you think Bill Chaves giving Bubba an extension was crazy, Jerry Jones is considering giving Mike McCarthy a new contract in Dallas. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/cowboys-mike-mccarthy-getting-a-contract-extension-i-dont-think-thats-crazy-at-all-says-jerry-jones-155512194.html

All that's left to decide is which assistants get to be sacrificial lambs. Bubba isn't going anywhere, don't kid yourself.

I may be wrong but as far as I can tell, no 7-5 team made the playoffs this year, so even if we win the YSU and ISUb games, we still come up one short. Still no excuse for this.

Next year I'm seeing 7-5 with loses to K State, Montana, NDSU, SDSU, and USD. We have Youngstown and Indiana State at home so Bubba will pull out close wins there. Going 7-5 with a possible playoff bid and loss on the road will be all the justification Chaves needs.

Committee just wants NDSU in Frisco because they can sell more tickets and more Bud Light. You know it's true.

If we don't hear news by noon Monday about Bubba's imminent departure it's safe to say he's around for another year.

So how many snaps did Jerry play this year? I never heard of any but I didn't listen or watch to the end of every game.

What is with the stickers on the ISU helmets? Some have way more than others? Is it some kind of kindergarten reward program?

Massey has us as a 3 point favorite, 31-28, and a 55% chance to win. Yep, go figure.

Followed by a first round loss on the road.

I have a feeling we have more decomits by Dec 20 whether Bubba leaves or not.

LMFAO.

But the thought of 50 portal transfers doesn't excite me either. If they bailed on their last team, well....................

So, if Bubba is fired, do all the assistants get fired too and the new guy hires who he wants? I would think so.

With Danny we at least had a winning record and made the playoffs, even if it was one and done. We aren't doing either of those this year. I don't know what to make of Fruechte.

You were right, Muss had two years left. But still only cost $175,000

And it didn't cost NDSU a cent to get rid of the coach. He got a better paying job elsewhere. This is what's so frustrating.

I thought Mussman only had one year left when he was let go. Now I sure could be wrong and probably am, just wondering if it really was two years left.

Nope. Bubba gets one more season.

I heard this from what I consider a reliable source, Bubba supposedly donates part of his salary back to be given to his assistants because their salary is so low. If true, why are the assistants paid so poorly? If UND can't afford to pay those under Bubba a fair wage they can't afford to pay the buyout or to pay the next guy more than Bubba (new coaches always seem to get more than the previous one). There does seem to be bigger problems here, assuming that what I heard is true.

Here's a link to the start of the above thread so it starts from the beginning. Crater had it starting at the end. Everything sounds the same as today. One certain person even speculated that Kalen DeBoer would apply. https://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/18586-the-next-coach-of-und-football-is/#comments
