If Landry had went straight from St. Thomas to NDSU, that wouldn't bother me that much.
But he took job at UND, blubbered about how happy he was to be back.......and then stabbed Bubba and the rest of us in the back on his way out the door to NDSU.
It's fairly obvious he used the UND offer to get the NDSU one. Disgusting.
But whomever wants to cheer him on down there so you can "be a part of it", go right on ahead.
Landry is now the enemy and should be treated as such.
We can displace some of our anger on individuals, sure, but this is a systematic problem at this point. Look at the bigger picture.

No matter what you think about opportunity and looking out for yourself. Bottom line is if he was still looking, or had any doubts, he should not have taken the UND job. He could have turned it down and kept looking.
UND football is just not a high-reputation, powerful job right now. NDSU and SDSU are regarded as undoubtedly better jobs, and that should infuriate anyone who loves UND. We know NDSU and SDSU have been better for the past decade plus on the court and field, but now it’s spread to the office, head and hearts of UND alumni. That is beyond damaging.
This current sad state of affairs has to do with the fragile mediocre trend over the past several years, which falls on the shoulders of Bubba and Chaves. When being aggressive and making the rational contemporary decision was necessary, it was instead deferred, and in some cases, the opposite was actually done.

LOL. New to Sioux Sports?
Once again …The central themes on this board, although farfetched, misinformed, and laughable at times, are usually overall spot-on given the passion and love for UND. Bubba has been strung out way too damn long, should’ve been fired in 2017, 2018, or 2021, but now, here we are: this is the result.

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
I am guessing 6-6 is a real possibility but that should still lead to Bubba’s termination, or at least it needs to. A losing season is certainly possible though too.

Sure pay is the most obvious reason why people go elsewhere but Danny was fine with it for as long as he was here. He made a great move to leave bubba and learn the correct way of coaching.
Definitely appears that way now. The situation is so horrid for UND football right now that UND alums are ditching Bubba left and right for conference rivals. This is an indirect reflection on the horrible state of UND football, and both Bubba and Chaves are to blame, although some “supporters” likely enabled this a few years ago by sticking their neck out for the “good guy” Bubba. I think everyone can “see clearly” now. You can’t run a program when even the most diehard UND/Grand Forks guys are willing to abandon ship. The house absolutely needs to be completely cleaned out: Culture reset.

Is bubba just stubborn or incompetent
Both. Reputation tarnished as he exits from UND this year, either before the season or after.

The only little hiccup is that he took the UND job last week. But anyone who knows Jake isn't surprised, put it that way
Sure, but this is an indictment on both UND and Jake Landry, and definitely more so the former.

Bubba is too good of a man to have it end like this. Something is really wrong.
In the span of 4 month, we went from hanging 49 on the Bison to having nobody want to be responsible for the offense under Bubba.
Bubba is a good man but not a great coach. UND / Chaves hung on too long. The central themes on this board, although farfetched, misinformed, and laughable at times, are usually overall spot-on given the passion and love for UND.

I’m embarrassed for everyone involved. I won’t divulge anything specific right now, but circumstantially, this is incredibly embarrassing for UND football.

Addition by subtraction? Likely not. Bubba’s defense is awful.

Just sick and tired of hearing Bubba Schweigert’s nonsensical rambling and lack of quality leadership. Student-athletes are too. Sooner or later, need to have accomplishments tied to your words.
Hope 2024 is “different”

Landry hire provides some optimism. But plenty of concern given Schwenzfeier’s defense and Bubba’s lack of leadership and “it” factor with this generation of college football players. We will see if 2024 is any different, but schedule is tough, and extending the status quo if there aren’t major improvements (winning playoff games) would be blasphemy in my opinion.
With that said, I hope Bubba goes 12-0 (and doesn’t go one and done in playoffs) and shuts the doubters up (including myself) in 2024.

"Top 5" program Albany disagrees with you!
Rather than always looking for exceptions to the rule to justify Bubba Schweigert still being UND HC, maybe, just maybe, we should pay attention to the rule of the thumb; that is, what usually happens. If you can’t get it done after 10 seasons, you probably can’t get it done.

Not downplaying his success because it speaks for itself but I'd be curious where his offenses at SIU actually ranked. I think they were above average but they won 5, 4, 6 and 7 games those 4 years. Beyond those few years, at the time his only other college experience was at the NAIA level where recruiting and requirements for players was completely different than D1 NCAA (and he obviously was very successful). It wasn't like it was a glaring mistake at the time.
Very easy to look back and make the obvious comment that UND made a mistake. Happy for him as by all accounts he's a legitimately good guy. But looking back 10 years isn't going to move the program forward today.
Well, as for 2013 SIU, Bubba’s defense was not exactly something to write home about either …
2013 SIU: Averaged 28.5 ppg on offense and defense gave up 25.2 ppg.
So, you tell me; was the offense or the defense more impressive? And who did UND hire, the OC or the DC?

In a twelve game season, is a 7-5 regular season enough to make the field.
Yes, if they beat NDSU, SDSU and/or Montana. Otherwise, no guarantees.

I’m pissed about the DeBoer thing and have posted about it but I’m just not sure how many more ways we can state that this happened and it was a royal F up. Think it’s time to move on and discuss how UND can fix it? Like who’s the next DeBoer that instead of passing on we can hire when Bubba is gone?
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.

(Joking) Wouldn't it be ironic if UND "Got Alabama" before Moo U. Of course we would get boat raced but the check would be nice and so would the road trip.
Check would be nice, but they get nice checks every year and fail to put it to good use (keeping/extending hopeless Bubba, fail to raise coaches salary pool, etc.). UND football is lost …
As for Alabama, if you want to see them play, just go down for any upcoming game. No need to see UND get destroyed in order to do it.
With all that, I see and get the joke in all of this (Moo U - we want ‘Bama). -

There is nothing wrong with recognizing we are a stepping stone HC program…
Absolutely. Our position as a farm program for FBS programs should also include being a farm program for coaches. The fact our current HC has been here over a decade in this day and age should tell you all you need to know about how (and why) UND football is in a bad place right now. Need a more enthusiastic, big plans type of guy at head coach, which is exactly why losing Danny Freund has been hurtful. Bubba Schweigert has drained this program dry, and at this current moment, continues to do so, which absolutely is devastating.

AD doesn't set the lineup.
They concentrate on getting a few coaches from the main seasons in progress (hockey and WBB this week) and sprinkle in minor sport coaches to fill it.
Bubba will likely speak after the next signing day.
wanna “make a stand” and predict the number of wins in 2024?
Too early for solid predictions in my estimation, as don’t even know Fall roster or coaching staff at this point, but just curious since you’re kinda a 99% glass full kind of guy for UND…
I’ll just say that at this early juncture - with the right to change predictions based on upcoming staff/roster changes - that I see a 6-6 season upcoming in 2024. Of course, I certainly hope that leads to a house cleaning.

Looking at the lineup for the fan lunch today and Bubba is not on it. That is very poor thinking. Chavez should have required him to address the current status the the team. I predict low attendance, low energy and lots of concerns at this event. I am sure they are hoping that hockey will rule the event, which is part of the problem. It is tough to be a UND football fan right now.
UND hockey is all they care about at this point in time. It’s hockey season; football manners all put on hold.
I agree - very sad state of affairs for UND football (and basketball or any other sport not played on ice at UND).

2024 UND Football

If UND football was a more attractive position, you would not have someone breaking their word. And why did Bubba hire someone with such questionable motives? Another example of both systematic failure and Bubba’s inept decision-making.
