If a prospective OC has this train of thought, he'd be too big of puss to even apply.

This isn't the time because the season isn't over.  For those of you whose lives seem adversely affected by the success or failure of our FB or Hockey teams I've got nothing for you.   I would no

You constantly hear people commenting about how Siouxsports users overreact about coaching and about UND teams. But I couldn't disagree more  Grand Forks and UND hold their teams to high standard

No kidding.  He could also be the interim head coach.  Or he could do well as an OC, and the head coach wouldn't need to get fired.

REALLY?  Would you have jumped at the opportunity to uproot your entire family and head to Louisville this past summer for what looked like (and ultimately will be) a one-season job?  Now picture heading to Grand Forks this off-season only to be given a pink-slip next season once Bubba is officially canned.

This. Outside of a select few teams in FCS you really don't know what you're going to get on a year to year basis. We'll have to start digging into what each team is losing. After a quick glance at Easterns roster, they have 27 Seniors, I don't know the importance of each player, but that's a lot of bodies.

After a quick glance at NDSU's roster...oh, wait, they seem to be able to plug in walk-ons and underclassmen on a daily basis and not skip a beat.

OK, we get it Mr. Contrarian guy.  We all understand, enough now.

Coaching

Expand  

It is not all coaching. They are getting better players because better players want to play for winning programs. Yes, they have good coaches. However, it is not all coaching. NDSU won some national championship with some players who are now excelling in the NFL and have players on their current roster who will do the same. If we won national championships, we would gain some of their fair weather, no football knowledge fans, and we would win some of their recruiting battles with them.

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere - does UND need to wait 30 days like they do for a head coach, if they aren't already employed by the university?

Totally.  You calling people out on their every sentence on Siouxsports.com is going to change the teams record.

As opposed to the folks calling out @Oxbow6 for not renewing his 20+ year season ticket investment...

But, hey, since you brought it up, my griping about Bubba has about as much of a chance of changing the team's record next season as Bubba himself does...

We all know it won't but then neither has much of anything that's been done since UND transitioned to D1. We'll agree to call it a wash.......deal?

Don't worry about me......some here have been gracious enough to have already started a GoFundMe campaign to buy me out of my season hockey tickets too! :wink: :lol:

Guys like you will not bother applying, so your hypothetical doesn't matter.

I know he won't. Why give up the managerial duties of the MSP Metro's top broomball team to come north to be part of a rebuild in it's second decade?

Now Shawn-O might for $400 large.

As much as I don't want to get in the way of the dick swinging, I think its likely  Freund is gone if not given the OC job.  6 years as the same position coach isn't going to look so good on a resume of a guy that has an upward trajectory in coaching.  How old do you have to be? Sean McVay is like 33.  I think Danny's got it. 

Ill be renewing my tickets, either way.

Well, I wouldn’t stand a chance anyways against a whole board of posters who evidently feel that Bubba is a simple OC away from becoming a FCS powerhouse.

What is it about this offense in the last 5 seasons that makes an internal promotion such a no-brainer?  Is there some green notebook of plays we don't know about?

I do believe the position must be advertised internally first, not sure of how many days.  If no internal applicant is hired then they can go external.  My guess would be 2-3 weeks before we will know.
