A UND fan? Yes. A fan of the philosophy of the football team where they keep doing the same thing and expecting different results? No. Despite being second fiddle in town UND football has enough going for it where just being average should not be the expectation year after year.
Yes a company should reward its employees and hire internally if those employees have made the company successful. In a company that has underperformed by only being average, fresh blood is needed.
This was nothing more than a self preservation pick by Bubba. Absolutely a complete refresh is needed. Instead UND rolls into Missouri Valley play with the same old 6-5 just wait til next year attitude.
Brilliant selection by Bubba. If he opens it up and brings in a fresh talented hire for DC he would be hearing calls for his job halfway through his next muddling 6-5 season. Now with Holinka and Freund (and Bubba's contract) he has guaranteed himself another couple years since there is no viable in-house option to replace him.
Needs to be a HC change. When you can't get up your team up to play for a chance to win their first playoff game ever AND get a crack at your long time rival the next week, something is very very wrong.
2 home games in November when weather can be dicey.....those could be some real ugly games in terms of tailgating/attendance with the annual Bubba nosedive having already started.
This is Bubba's 6th year.....and anyone that believes this program is much ahead of when he took over is delusional. A change is needed. Get ready for another season of 1/2 empty Alerus Center as UND muddles through another 6-5 season.
