am certain or at least expect that there will be some type of changes for the next year
If there isn’t, then I am going to start questioning Bubba.

This kind of thinking is problematic. UND HC job can't be like grandma's China where someone just inherits it. Whenever Bubba leaves they need to look far and wide to find the best person to lead this program and hopefully inject some fresh ideas and vision. We've had the RT coaching tree for 35 years so next hire may be best coming from outside that, keeping some legacy guys as assistants.
I am equally ok with this approach. I think we have enough of a good thing going that some personnel stability from one HC to the next is good.

Rudy was pretty good at stopping offenses IMO.
Haha. That would be an interesting strategy.

The offense in the first half was just as bad as the defense
I can accept a clunker half/game if it’s the exception rather than the rule. Defense was consistently missing tackles and giving up chunk yards all season. I never had confidence to expect a 3 and out from the D.

Feel free to change to a new thread if you feel this is off topic ( or should be its own topic), but who would be in the running for a DC?

If you clicked on the live stats link at fightinghawks.com, that site showed 44-31 as the final score. Even AFTER the game finished. Weird.
It was UND's own link, so I'll give Midco a pass.
Fair enough. Still weird.

Last year's offense
This year's defense
This year’s defense. I thought our offense was decent enough last year. Freund improved upon it this year. Holinka’s defense regressed by a lot.

danny has those damn brain farts
As does every coach. Hopefully he reduces them as his career progresses.

They were wrong.
I know. Just seems like a weird thing to get that wrong. It’s not like it’s a typo or keystroke error.

One playoff win in 9 years. I guess we get to see if Chaves considers that acceptable.

I doubt Bill Chances will have to make that decision. I don’t think Bubba sees the end of his current contract. We’ll have see on what the reason is.

Midco hockey broadcast said UND football score was 44-31. Did I miss something??

Last year it seemed Freund and Holinka were equally good choices for Bubba’s successor. It’s obviously not the case today. I’d like for Bubba to take the high road and resign before his contract is up. Hand the reins to Danny, and let him pick his DC. (Maybe it’s Holinka, but that choice wouldn’t get me excited for the defense to come on the field. I think I’d question Danny’s judgment in that scenario as well.)

The offense overcame our brutal D all year.
Against lesser opponents, yes. Against playoff teams, you just can’t expect the offense to win a big game with no defense.

consider some defensive staff changes
I am not one to rag on coaches, but I’m ready for this, too. We wouldn’t have to be the cardiac kids if the D didn’t give up 30+ each game.

I’m amazed we had chance at the end
Truth. Offense is the shining star of the squad. Just think where we could be with some complimentary defensive.

I’ll applaud the valiant effort of the second half. Ready for a change on defense, at least. Scoring 31 in a playoff game should be enough. It was a problem all season. Our offense could overcome against lesser opponents, but not playoff caliber teams.

This would be a nice situation when you could hang your hat on your defense. We’ll see…

Ok, force a TO and whole game is different

So, I turned off the radio. What is/was the halftime score? 3q started yet?
-
Another sweep where we get shellacked in the third set. Season ends on a seven game skid. I bet that’s the only time that happens on Tupac’s watch. Some good times (NDSU win), some growing pains, but the future is bright. Excited to see what is going to transpire in this program.

Maybe the altitude will help our kick off game
Had the same thought.

UND down 2-0 vs NDSU at the Summit tournament. We had leads in both sets but could not hold on to them. This team is just not built to put away the opponent. I am betting that changes as the Tupac era continues.

No Kraft (NFL draft) or Jankes (graduation) for SDSU after this year.

Could just be me, but I really don't like seeing UND fans gloat on this subject when we have no idea what's coming down the pipeline for UND.
Agreed. My other thought was get them to Grand Forks.

While I think that would be a mistake, I don’t doubt that this is correct.
