UND-FB-FAN

Don’t know what’s more embarrassing … how UND played during the second half of the season after beating NDSU or how the FCS let’s Fargo/ag college do this to the field of competition year after year after year … Absolute atrocity.

It’s easily the biggest issue with UND football right now … but there are others.

how dare they…

nepotistic hire and here we are. Need to do better from the top (athletic director and hiring process) down. Wake me up when we have new competent leadership. Until then, I’ll be present, but sleep walking. UND football at present is so content with slightly above average. need major overhaul … otherwise I again suspect a lack of control at the line of scrimmage in 2024

That’s a a positive. Next most important position is defensive line/edge, and that is where there is much to be desired. Need to do better at the line of scrimmage, specifically on defense.

This is just hilarious at this point … never choose familiarity/tradition over talent. Congrats to Coach DeBoer.

They can’t go FBS in light of recent activity. NDSU and their intentions aren’t as innocent as the Fargo-backers would like everyone to think …

get better players and try to coach them / motivate them better

It’s been repeated ad nauseam because it’s the elephant in the room. Ignore important issues much? Good grief.

Talent is not only issue. The team I saw on Oct. 14 would still be playing in the playoffs also. But they couldn’t capture lightning in a bottle, due to piss poor coaching and leadership, once again.

You’d think we would have learned talent is better than loyalty and familiarity by now with DeBoer being prime example #1. Yet here we are, at UND with a different AD, still extending coaches after losing seasons, still awarding loyalty/familiarity when clearly there are more talented coaches out there …

Program also isn’t going anywhere different until there’s change with staff … Common sense … but we keep “hoping” blindly

Never is, especially with the current coaching staff … But, by August 2024, we’ll all forget and be back ready for more bubba ball … ignorance is bliss, as they say, and time heals (most) wounds

Bubba pisses himself anytime it’s 3 & 10+ … it’s only a favorable defensive down/distance for every other program in the country …

(and yes, I know; not happening- nor should it)

All the more reason to go out and recruit the whole damn country. No restrictions. Get good football players. now, of course this is a bit extreme, but und should be more extreme than what they have been.

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.

Now this is pure gold.

The “dawg” is more likely buried out someplace in his backyard…

Wouldn’t it be neat if our coaches were actually aggressive and nabbed a transfer portal QB to shake things up?? wont happen, though, too boring and content with mediocre football. Competition is never a bad thing, unless you’re UND football. Also no NIL collective to assist.

From the Birthplace of Michael Vick. Has to be good based on that, right?

Wouldn’t surprise me, honestly. “Upon review of the driving under the influence charge, we’ve decided to issue a contract extension”. But I do enjoy the reference here. Not much to do in Brookings, even if you’re head football coach …

This is why Bubba and his staff aren’t cut out for it. Way too much inconsistency. So much. There’s no pressure. UND football is like a country club. Job / contract extensions after losing seasons.
