Old Time Hockey Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Anyone see the UND AD press conference today? Didn't think so.... I think he is in hiding! I have never been a fan of Faison, but a move in regards to the head football coach before the end of the season might start to change my opinion. We need strong leadership at this dark time for the football program. Obviously we are not getting it from the coaching staff so it is time for the next level of leadership to step up to the plate and turn things around. The longer this stink lingers the longer it will take to turn things around! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperfan7 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It's obvious that Muss won't be let go before the season is done. Plenty of chances to can him the last month. It will happen. I can't shine the numbers if emails it Faisons inbox about Mussman. Faison is a smart guy. I trust he will do the right thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have you know that a lot of the posters on here are active check writers for UND athletics and other endeavors on campus. I am one of them. If that "just doesn't matter" to Faison, then he is in the wrong line of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Faison has had a pretty strong track record so far. His hires have been more than solid. He's not the most personable guy but he only cares about getting the job done. This next decision will basically be his legacy at UND. If he hits it out of the park he will go down in history. If he flops he will go down in the Bunning category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying you agree that the way to show support for a program is to create threads that are unending insults, put-downs and jokes about UND's football program, players and coaches and that this is the way to make sure the administration takes notice and figures out that those who are the real geniuses with the best interest of UND are lactually urking in chat rooms spewing idiocracy behind imaginary names? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneksioux Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The loss against sac state should have been expected and expected with the point difference based on this teams track record this year. Since muss wasn't fired prior to this game I wasn't expecting him to be immediately after this game. I'd expect him to be let go immediately after the season.

Don't speak for me; I haven't been throwing insults at anyone. I have, however, been pointing out the plain and simple fact that this is Mussman's ship and that ship is taking on water. There will be no improvement in the FB program with this regime in power. And if you think otherwise, please enlighten us. But don't basically tell us to shut up about it.

geaux_sioux Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 What I've been shocked about is that if there is any coaching that should be in question it's the offensive coaching, especially the oline. The defense has gotten much better as the season has gone on and the offense has basically gone into the fetal position. Going into this season who would have expected that?

You can't have a successful offense with no oline. Adjust it to what? Run the ball more? Short passes all day? Bootlegs most of the time? No matter what we have no chance at having a successful offense that is multifaceted enough to keep the defense guessing unless we can maintain a line of scrimmage at all.

UND92,96 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 if only we had an offensive lineman as a head coach... This is what I just can't understand. Offensive line really should be the last area a person would expect would struggle this badly given Muss's background, and the fact that unlike some other positions, you should actually be able to find these guys in the traditional recruiting areas. How did things get to this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Please enlighten me on the value of this thread for UND and the football program and how it might create any kind of positive change.. If all fans sat back and never expressed displeasure and didn't vent about the poor play and coaching of their respective teams, very few coaches would ever be fired. Fans speak with their voices and their pocket books. Whenever the heat gets turned up and attendance falls, AD's make changes. This is exactly what is going on here. Fans are extremely upset and speaking with their pocket books by not showing up and venting on message boards. Faison has to meet his budget every year and he has to be WAY behind this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you're satisfied with this season's results to date and the state of the program. Got it. If the thread encouraged so much as one person to voice their displeasure to AD Faison, then it is a success in my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faison was at the game Saturday, the attendance will speak volumes more than anything that is being accomplished here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSioux Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Except for the fact that there is a "Fire someone" thread started every year here. I'm not satisfied but I believe that Faison has things under control and definitely isn't motivated by threads like this - I know many here are just waiting for attendance at Nov. 9th to say I told you so - forgetting that every year that weekend is the lowest attendance for the year - I'll let you figure out why. Still haven't read any post that supports how this thread could lead to "positive" change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
