I recall him being talked of as an athletic project at qb. The project didn't work out as we all painfully witnessed. Quote

He was only scholarship QB recruit brought in for that class. This when the QB scenario was in shambles (2014-15) with Mollberg injury and Studsrud looking poor, albeit his true freshman season, for the final 4 of 2014. Narrative at the early juncture was that Bubba was heading to Rugby to find UND it's "future QB". Plenty of subjectivity with all of this, but the fact remains that UND has minimally recruited the QB position; and the few they have brought in have changed positions or simply moved on (Mollberg, Heidlebaugh, kid from Minot).

siouxfan512 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Another bad year and Bubba will be skating on this ice. Don't get me wrong, there has been an improvement overall since Muss, but we should strive for just and improvement from that. There have been some hits on recruiting, but a ton of misses and questionable moves (lack of O Line, lack of QBs). To me the biggest issue is Bubba keeping Rudy around after the types of games that he calls. As far as I'm concerned Bubba should no longer have an opportunity to get rid of Rudy and still keep his own job. That time was at the end of last season. Going forward, Bubba has to go as the rest of his staff goes. Now I like Bubba, but to keep a coach because he seems like a nice guys is the equivalent of Bubba keeping Rudy on staff. Hope they prove me wrong and turn into a long term solution, but last season raised more questions than answers. 1 Quote

Whether or not that seat gets warmer or cooler will depend on how we bounce back from 2017, which was an unmitigated disaster. Quote

I'm starting to think Mussman recruited better than Bubba period. Bubba seemed to win as long as he Muss's players. Safe to say Bubba can't recruit coaches either, Rudy, I'm looking at you. Quote

Would have been a good fit for our offense, but left after spring ball with the new coaching staff. He did pretty well at Nevada after that. Quote

Despite that he showed promise. He had a big time arm, was an excellent athlete, was an excellent student and coachable kid. I realize some of you think my opinion is cuz I'm from DL. (I'm from Bismarck and live in DL). If you are going to give up on kids after what he and Bartels endured their first 2 years, then you aren't going to get big time QB's lining up to "read defenses and hand the ball off " . Do you think a QB wants to play for Rudolph and then take crap from him if they get hurt. Mollberg lived up to everything he was allowed to live up to. He was improving as a Soph when he got hurt . He had all of the tools to continue to develop into a difference maker at QB. IMO. Another reason Bubba and Company should be on the hot seat. Their offensive philosophy is crap as is their player development. They are making it so no top QB in his right mind would sign here. See this year's recruiting results. Time to get their collective act together and think outside the tiny box they have put themselves in. 6 Quote

"? Furthermore, which year was Palendech all-conference or which NFL team did he play for? Give me a break. Folks around here conveniently forget about winning as the bottom line. If you don't want to consider objective results (such as wins), then everything thereafter becomes a subjective banter act. I think it's beyond laughable that people want to frame Mussman's QBs as so damn good when their respective W-L results were all so poor. Quote

Mollberg and Bartles didn't exactly produce much either, but why does playing on a poor FBS team versus a FCS team suddenly make you better. It doesn't, quite frankly. Again, another subjective crapshoot we have on our hands here. Congrats. Quote

Time to get their collective act together and think outside the tiny box they have put themselves in. I began thinking kind of on this train of taught before the FB season was over. Do have concerns: Is our offense really as complicated as made to sound like here on SS, maybe in a way only for our team? The later definitely wouldn't pay dividends. Do we have challenges getting our team ready and together during the count for the snap, and complicating things more with our audibles? When things were going bad, a comment made many times here during last 2 seasons really stands out to me, something like; Run 1 of the gut, Run 2 of the gut, Pass 3, and Punt 4, which can't seem too complicated to the other team. If we're that complicated, when passing why would an offense like this be run with a Q that usually locks in on one receiver? And then injuries, mostly on defense? We need to step up in 2018. Quote
