2016 Season

Bubba Schweigert named new North Dakota coach

Quote

 

Schweigert agreed to a four-year contract with a base of $150,000 per year, according to UND.

 

$150K is a friggin steal for Bubba...................

[UNDBIZ]

So he's entering the last year of his contract. Not only is he due for a raise, he's due for an extension.

It's an embarrassment at this point, though.

It Faison could extend Mussman and Jones for accomplishing pseudo-championships then UND and Faison sure as hell better extend Bubba NOW. 

As long as UND's athletic department is headed by Faison, it will be at least semi-dysfunctional.

Like I posted elsewhere, letting Bubba walk because he costs too much is unacceptable and shouldn't even be on the table. Faison and Kennedy better figure out how to keep our successful coaches or we'll be treading water instead of winning titles.

The knowledge about how to run an athletic department that is shared on this site is overwhelming.

Bubba isn't going anywhere. I'm confident Faison will get him a 3-4 year extension with a base around $200-220k. Appears that's more than Montana pays their coach, and football is their #1.

Are you sure?  There is no way they could be working on an extension. <--- Not sure how to change to purple.

Okay wise guy, do you think it's vital that Bubba be locked into a long-term deal? That is the issue here. And it is totally reasonable to make keeping our successful coaches a vital part of Faison's job. We should only lose coaches to FBS schools.....period. And if Kennedy meant what he said earlier this year about athletics being an important component of UND's overall mission and about how he wants to put together teams that compete for championships, he'll give Faison what he needs to accomplish those goals.

And your perceived lack of knowledge is alarming? 

I think it's quite the rudimentary concept that Bubba deserves to be extended.

Especially considering, when most here have a college degree. Imagine the man hours of studying combined of these posters on those AD posts.

Where is this sentiment that Bubba may leave coming from? I know Sfi had some real hard hitting comparisons to get people worked up (and it obviously worked) but other than that there hasn't been a single peep about him leaving. I would say let's not get our panties in a bunch about Bubba leaving until there is a little more smoke than just sfi randomly deciding to compare some salaries. 

[Siouxphan27]

Just because us rubes haven't heard anything, doesn't mean there haven't been talks or a plan in place for negotiations.  I agree with UNDBIZ.

I received this Alumni Review yesterday.

Maybe Kennedy is giving sports a blessing? Waving hand on top.

Maybe he means what he said about winning teams?

Agree, and he's all ND. Shock hands with Bubba last night standing in line to get into the BB game. Congratulated him on a very successful season. He's all smiles, but I could sense not satisfied, replied about how they have to be/will be better. Really gotta like the guy! 

[UND-FB-FAN]

Bubba is not going anywhere anytime soon. I'm not too sure where that sentiment came form. My comments were centered around the fact that Bubba deserves an extension and raise now, rather than after his final contract year.

I think people remember Lennon up and leaving nine years ago and that is why they are a little bit concerned.

Completely different situation in 2007, but I suppose I can buy that.

My point is the season just ended last week - just because you hate Faison doesn't mean things are not happening. Bubba just finished his third year of a four year contract. Perhaps you should ask for a little desk deside Faison's desk so all he has to do is turn and look down at you for advise. There is no reason to thing that they won't take care of things - it just might not be on your timeline and they might not pick up the phone and ask your for permission. 

Some of these conversations suck all the enjoyment out of a great season and a great coaching staff.

I don't "hate" Faison, I am just don't want to lose Bubba or any other of our successful coaches. These things sneak up on you and before you know it, that person is gone and they aren't coming back.

And if conversations about the future of our programs "suck all the enjoyment out of a great season and a great coaching staff" for you, then that is on you, not me.

Wasn't the reason he took that much was so he could pay his assistants more?

How can it sneak up when he is still under contract? Assistant coaches leave to become head coaches it happens. It is the unnecesdary hand wringing that gets old.

No one saw Dale Lennon leaving his alma mater when he did. Especially when he was the one pushing the hardest to move up to Division I.

[Sioux94]

Bubba's not going anywhere, at least not anytime soon.  They will get it taken care of.  Plus I don't ever see Bubba going to be a head coach at another FCS school.  Some assistants will leave at some point for promotion opportunities at other schools......that will happen at some point guaranteed, that's just how it works.  Paying well will help hold off that thought process a little longer for some of them though.
