If he doesn't realize that, he is not the man we need in charge of this program. He should have done that last year when it was warranted.

Comes down to execution and in-game adjustments based on what opposing offense is doing. You would struggle to find a 3-4 that doesn’t need to blitz to get pressure.

YES we can all debate on what style of offense and defense would be most successful, but what irritates me so much right now is the guys played their hearts out, got screwed by the refs multiple times, and did enough to win this game if it wasn't for complete coaching ineptitude. 8 minutes left in the game and up by 10, and with the reputation our punt team has, we don't max protect on that punt???? less than 4 minutes left in the game up by 3, our top 4 receivers out with injury, and we decide to go into #chuckthepigskin mode??? This from the staff that is more in love with TOP than any other statistic known to man??? If Bubba and the Blunderers want to attempt to stem the tide of frustration among the fanbase right now, I would hope they take it upon themselves this week to accept complete blame for this loss and give the players credit for doing enough to win. 1 9

UND-FB-FAN Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 45 minutes ago, Tangolou said: What do you see as the major concern on offense. Is it play calling or scheme? Both. There is a deficit of situational play-calling. Case in point would be the offense called at the end of Idaho game or looking back when UND was up 24-7 against Richmond in the 2016 playoffs but blew the lead with pathetic play-calling. There is a deficit in scheme with both personnel groupings and utilization of personnel. The personnel groupings are horrible. There is no reason, when Santiago, Oliveira, and Johannesson were all healthy, why Santiago couldn't have sometimes played in the slot. Or Johannesson could've played some FB. Or have faster receivers like Adeoti, McKinney, and Griebel all be on the feild at the same time for a few plays to stretch the defense. Motion Santiago out wide and throw a deep ball to him. Etc. Etc. Etc. Lastly, the complete lack of a running back screen game and a TE play-action passing game is pathetic. As a run first team, you absolutely need to have a screen game and a play-action game to your tight ends. So, in summary, there are problems in both play calling and scheme. 4

That leaves 7 to clean everything else up. That’s a big advantage for the d. May I change your "DL" to "rushers". I don't care if it's 3 DL and a LB, or 3 DL and a safety, or 2 DL* an LB and a CB. But you have to get pressure with 4. *Drop the NG into coverage!

The Sicatoka Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 I'm going to make a statement I never thought I'd make: I miss Chris Mussman. Not head coach Mussman, offensive coordinator Mussman. And now I itch.

UND-FB-FAN Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 You know, it may just be possible to hire good DI coaches that did not previously play or coach at UND. It's about the right fit at the right time for both sides. UND football has been missing the "it" factor ever since going Division I. The "it" factor is the mindset and ability to actually compete for championships, both conference and national. You have to be able to consistently make the postseason first before you can compete for championships, and that is where the program is constantly getting hung up. I want new blood that will take the program to a level that the previous coaches, most of whom we have absolutely no personal problems with, have been unable to reach. 2

Shawn-O Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 My sources tell me Caruso would be interested if Chaves were to place that call. 1
90siouxfan Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 can we get the gopher fired dude to fill in at ST?

UND1983 Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Leipold went all the way to FBS and has turned Buffalo around. 1

Doing a little research, I found the last UND head football coach that wasn't a former player or assistant coach was Marvin Helling (1957-1967). 1 1

Oxbow6 Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Isn't FB.......FB? It's the same Xs and Os. As a coach you can either figure it out or you can't.

Oxbow6 Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Kevin Feeney could do as well as Rudy.....or Bubba at this point.
