Won't argue on the advancing but what year's have they "snuck in"?
Other than 2016, in terms of playoff field, they’ve always been 67th percentile or lower.

Offensive coordinators play calling post NDSU deserves no blame??
Not sure you can blame the offense the past two seasons. During the playoff games (games that truly matter), the offense scored over 30 points in both games and still lost …
In big games, we know which unit is more likely to not show up …
Offensive coordinator and his unit have not been perfect the last several seasons, that is for sure, but the defense has been the weakest link and the team’s mindset/execution in road games is horrendous.

Saying a new OC is good in the long-run is antagonizing innovation and pushing the status quo? Wild.
Just because people don't continuously beat a dead horse anonymously on a message board, hold grudges, threaten to withhold donations and demand to burn everything down doesn't not mean they aren't actually working on different ways to improve the program and athletic department by actually doing things that hopefully help.I assume/hope we all wants what is best for UND. We definitely all have different views on how that can/should be accomplished.
Defense has been awful the past couple seasons. Team is awful on the road and after big games. Can’t advance in the playoffs when they do happen to sneak in. That is not the offensive coordinator’s fault, but rather the head ball coach (who is supposed to be a defensive guy).

First, consider the source. It definitely seems to be more sensationalized from any of the versions I've heard. The end result was likely best for everyone in the long run, even if it meant losing the OC. And before the random arguments come up, I'm not saying that I think losing the OC was good for the very near future.
Also, no clue if there is an actual extension in the works (even though some have decided it is apparently already done since its been brought up for the last two months). Even if there is, as was already stated, it doesn't mean anything until we see the actual details of what would be in any sort of extension. If it is a multi-year extension with full buyout, that's significantly different than an extension in years only with an easy buyout for UND that on the surface shows long-term stability to help with recruiting, which these days includes new recruits and keeping your own players on your team.
You epitomize the status quo. You antagonize innovation and improvement (change). But, you are consistent with your message and provide an excellent example of the very mindset permeating throughout UND decision-makers (e.g., Chaves) right now, particularly in regards to UND football. This microcosm is a nice example for us trying to understand the proposed rationale for poor decision-making, so, thank you.
As for extension with possible buy-out terms in favor of UND, that is a good point. Hopefully UND and Chaves actually do that.

Per source
chaves quietly extending bubba 3 years
Danny went in to meeting with them expecting chaves bubba to let Danny know bubba will be retiring and he will be named successor and he was blind sided with the plan they wanted to put in place. Danny was more scared about having a bad year this year and everyone getting canned if they didn’t perform so elected to go with the safe money
This is old news. Pathetic and embarrassing news, but still old news. UND athletics continues to make questionable decisions, and it all comes back to low expectations and ulterior motives.

I agree. I prefer repetitiveness over sarcasm.
Is it possible to go without both repetitiveness AND sarcasm? Doubtful.

great article about taking UND football seriously!
Article is fine, but I enjoy NDSU’s ignorance and am fine with it continuing if it gives UND an advantage.

Great effort again by UND. The work this team has been doing is great. A lot of credit has to go to Paul Sather, congrats coach! More work on the depth / rotation would be the only major concern at this point.

7 in a row and Izzo will talk about the Monster Jam tomorrow.
Grand Forks needs their own media presence. Herald needs to separate from Forum Communications. Having everything go through Fargo is not a good thing for Grand Forks and UND. Losing WDAZ has been damaging, no question.

Not sure who that refers to but just another example of arguing against points no one is making.
Didn't mean to hurt your feelings by posting your own comments, but my apologies.Mediocrity is definitely a concern. Expectations matter. Sure, mediocrity is denied verbally and in writing, including by yourself on this forum, but it is implied with everything else being done. Actions speak louder than words.

This you?
Given Howe's on-field accolades, knowledge of the game and the above statement, seems pretty obvious that you feel you know more about football than he does. I know you have a few other gems stating that you know more than most but this one makes me chuckle. I should note you never did follow through with that, but I don't think anyone was shocked. Maybe "any day" will come soon enough.
Glad you’re keeping track. Nice to be recognized, even by those okay with the status quo.

Maybe you're right, maybe you aren't. You've managed to do both plenty of times, so not real concerned on your self-proclaimed expert opinion.
We all get it, you don't like the current head coach. You've made it very clear. And I don't think anyone has argued that you don't have some valid reasons to be frustrated. Just because others don't think burning down the program in order to feel vindicated about our "personal feels" or that change guarantees any sort of success doesn't mean they care less than you or aren't working behind the scenes to make meaningful changes.Some things are worse than “burning down the program”, believe it or not.

Never said that, but I’ll take your inference and run with it.

What exactly will he be right or wrong about? A whole bunch of vague, cryptic comments with no substance? Seems like there should actually be something to be right or wrong about.
Statement seems pretty emphatic but I’ll type it out since you seem to enjoy the staleness of mediocrity; UND football won’t ascend with the current leadership structure (i.e., current head coach). By not ascend, I mean UND won’t be a program capable of winning playoff games and competing for national championships with current structure.

Even referencing something like that is going to make some head veins bulge and start off a whole new wave of made up arguments...
You wanting UND football to win an FCS national championship might be the most made up thing on this forum … 50-year plan? Maybe by 2074?

Would this be related to the 'rumor' about Bubba thinking he has four more years left?
2024 will be telling for a lot of reasons, I think we can all agree on that.

If you can't share the news why even bring it up?
Fair point. Just airing grievances again I suppose. Can’t change the past at this point. The recent coaching turnover was a debacle, anyway you wanna look at it (and I recently gained more insight into this to confirm my worries for the future), but need to move forward now. On to 2024.

For what it’s worth, though, I do like this hire:

Hopefully 2024 is a pleasant surprise.

It will be “I told you so” and if I’m wrong I’ll enjoy every second of that, also.

2019 was the most suspect due to no conference. I think 2022 and 2023 were felt to be comfortable only because of MVFC affiliation, not because the team exceeded expectations.
