    Where are you placing the blame?

    Mostly the NCAA.  We can't babysit every single player 8 days a week to make sure they feel appreciated enough and compensated enough to stay at UND.

    Its really sad isnt it. Is he going to Montana or SDSU?

    I haven't tapped any of my sources but I would bet on SDSU or $50,000 NLI from an FBS school.

    edit: I didn't think Pawlek was O-line coach at Griz, thought it was TE and Tackles, something hybrid with another coach that was Center/Guards.  It appears now he is full O-line coach so Griz makes more sense to me now.

    Is geaux_sioux ever coming back?  Nothing since January 12?

    If UND Football was a movie it would be Ground Hog's Day, some ups and downs and nuances throughout but we are stuck, over and over again we enter another off season with underwhelming talent, development, and coaching.  On top of that when UND does develop a player that is recognized nationally the new normal is another school gives him $150,000 to transfer, edging out his next offer of $50,000 and pick of any truck on the lot.  College football is lawless and declining.  Big name Coaches are leaving.  Soon FCS will be a pure development league for FBS.  I understand the frustration with UND and with college football in general, hanging by a thread myself.

    Ridiculous proposition, although Chaves went with it, because as Tom Miller wrote in his article, Bubba won’t be here forever to save that ridiculous budgeting plan, if indeed true. The cold hard truth is UND football is not appropriately emphasized at UND. Money talks. If you also read Miller’s article, he makes perhaps the best point of all; it’s not what the head coach’s salary is that is correlated with success, but rather what the assistant coaches make that is in fact correlated with success. UND’s assistant coaches - namely coordinators - are not compensated like a championship program within the MVFC. SDSU and NDSU on the other hand…

    It's true, have heard this, and the numbers show it.  As hard as some have been on Bubba, would all of you do the same??  Our coordinators are better paid than Bubba.

    The average of the top 3 HC's made $368,046.  Bubba made 69.3% of this amount. 

    The average of the top 3 OC's made $120,381.  Danny made 86.4% of this amount.   (If Bubba was at 86.4% like Danny, that would be another $63,000)

    The average of the top 3 DC's made $117,402.  Joel made 75.3% of this amount. (not unreasonable for a 1st year DC)

    Is it a good long-term strategy to expect the HC to take less money AND pass all increases onto assistants??  Nope!!

    This is MVFC.

    That's why my hopes are tempered here...he's a classic "tweener"...not big enough to play DE at the D1 level...not sure if he's quick enough to be an every-down MVFC OLB.  If he was coming in as an 18 year old kid I'd be thrilled...but he's got one year.  That's not a developmental signing...it's an impact signing.  I really hope I'm wrong because by all accounts he's a great kid and a college grad...but we need help on D, and I'm not sure we're going to get much here.

    Good observation that I agree with but I think this is a shot we take, agree with the attempt.

    You got the job? :huh: :p

    Close!!  I am skinnier and my strength coach resume is not good and my beard has some red, but not the shaved head.  3 out of 4 isn't bad!!

    Speaking of our AD clown show, I saw yesterday its' been over 40 days since they fired the strength coach.  Who is the new guy? 

    I have $20.00 that says he has a shaved head, is a little skinnier than Baukol, mostly red beard, and his resume is not impressive.

  8. College FB F'n sucks now.  1 year left to follow for family reasons then I am not wasting my time with this crap.  Player and coach carousels is all it is.  The FBS 12 team tournament will be interesting but besides that, CFB can burn itself down to the ground then only have themselves to blame.

    Joe is going to Montana, unsure what role 

    Taking Rob Phenicie's position(most likely), who left for Bucknell to be OC.  Griz position historically has been TE and Tackles.

    we might joe soon....but not 2 tsu....look west of here

    Griz have always had a lot of staying power in FCS, even when they aren't good.

    A guy like Eddie George can probably open a lot of doors for him.  

    If TSU can win and become relevant, same challenge as everyone else......5-6,  4-7, 6-5 the last 3 seasons.

    To be OC for NDSU you mean? While we have liked Joe and has been good for the OL, I could be wrong but I'm not sure top level FCS teams would immediately have him as top on their list for an OC position. No offense to Joe and I sure hope he sticks around for a while, but I think they would be able to get someone more qualified. We didn't even hire him is our OC. 

    Correct, NDSU isn't going to look at UND's O-line coach who has no experience as an OC.  If Danny was still in GF I doubt NDSU would look at him either.  These options don't make any sense.

    Compare the moves by Freund and Roehl. 

    SDSU > TSU

    Really.....I had to look up Tenn. St., know absolutely nothing about them and not very impressed after looking.

    NAIA and a perennial GLVC D-2 cellar dweller?  Let's get serious, good lord.   

    Ya, we are loaded with 215 lb tweeners that are not big/strong enough to play LB and not athletic enough to play safety.  We could write a book on it.

    leading td catcher at st thomas was a te with 4

    on only 9 catches

    Our TEs could use a rest, let all the breaks and sprains heal with their hands/fingers from this past season.

    Jake Landry, a former player for Rod Carey at North Dakota, joined the Temple Football staff in 2019 as an analyst following one season as the running backs coach at NIU. He was promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2021.

    Pretty sure he was only the QB coach at Temple for the 2021 season.  Their offense wasn't good, to say the least. They scored 10 points or less in 6 games that season.

    I took the info from St. Thomas Bio but from the Temple Bio it looks like 2019 and 2020 were not as QB Coach, only 2021 was he official QB Coach.  Thanks!!

    I’m saying take the name out and his résumé doesn’t get me that excited. 

    4 year OC and 3 year QB Coach at Temple......I kind of see it.  I suppose it's all comparative.  Given the timing it's not too bad.  (correction - only 1 year QB Coach at Temple and 2 years as an analyst)
