Popular Post UND-FB-FAN Posted November 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2018 These two changes needed to be made, at a minimum. This is only half of the process: now comes the all important hires to replace them. Need coaches with a SUCCESSFUL history as an offensive coordinator/QB coach and offensive line coach. Can’t take anymore chances or risks with these hires. And now, I wish Paul Rudolph and Luke Knauf the best moving forward. These dismissals have nothing to do with their character as men; this is strictly a football move and we should all know that. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needed to happen, but please attempt to handle the news with some class. With that said, I'm still waiting to hear about Kostich. Can't believe he is being retained....if he is which seems to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the correct hires would still be playing with a seed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlinFlan80 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Now who do they hire? I wouldn't mind seeing them bring down the OL Coach from the Blue Bombers. That dude has some fire and gets after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, credit to all those who asked for the dismissal a year ago. You were right. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak651 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Could the decision on Knauf be partly due to roster turnover and recruits not coming in? Guys like Rain Slaiter not coming in have killed the OL depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlinFlan80 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 This comes as no surprise. The OC hire will be interesting to see if Fruend gets the call up and they hire for WR coach. As for the OL coach, it will be an interesting hire, but equally as important if you ask me. With Johanason looking like the featured back next year and Wanzek, Izzy, and Tovienen as WR and a returning QB, you do have some fun pieces to work with right away as the OC. The OL coach however doesn't seem to have any true "standouts" that week in and week out maul the competition and that is what this program has been missing for awhile now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets eat Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Bubba needed to go He's a nice old man that the players don't respect as a coach. Coaching personnel will change but he's still in charge.. Think about this for a minute, if you had to go to battle with someone leading the charge, would you want him leading? Just saying!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning I echoed this to someone who is much closer to the program than I am and they told me: "He is really good with the players. No Arguing on the issues at all, just a big asset to have on the staff. I wouldn't be surprised if he was re-assigned after spring ball." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxbow6 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 So we can look forward to another season of not going for it on 4th down when that is the call to try to win a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side you could argue no one cares more about the program than he does. If you had to go to battle with someone, would you not want someone that has unquestioned passion for what you are fighting for? Give the guy a chance to fix his hiring error. This is the life of the coaching world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the life of the coaching world. Problem is that he didn't think it was a problem last year. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his judgement, nor do some of the decisions he made in games that had nothing to do with Rudy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is important. I would say with our lack of development in so many areas and injuries, changes are need here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
