Six years later, scary but possibly we may be in the same situation if/when a new DC is hired and we go through the emotional roller coaster for another six years all over again. 

Firing the DC and keeping bubba would be about as clueless a move as an AD could make.

Who should replace Chaves? As bad as Bubba stinks up the place, this is Chaves mess.  Maybe replacing should reach even higher...  is the president safe from scrutiny?

Chaves started before Armacost, correct?

President Armacost is by far the best President since Tom Clifford. Looking at the more important issues, Enrollment is growing, donations are up, new buildings and remodeling continue and our national reputation grows and the legislators seem to respect him. 
He isn’t going anywhere. Presidents this good are hard to find. 
 

What is his opinion on sports programs? Necessary evil? Money pit?

Just curious what his legacy is?

 

just the ndsu win is all I can really think of? Or the one ncaa tournament win?

I knew when I posted this that saying legacy wasn’t going to be well liked. I still think he did good for the university and elevated the program but we got to a point he couldn’t exceed. I mainly meant where he didn’t go out with such a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

To be fair he took the program from 3 wins, to 5 wins, to 7 wins than 9 wins and a share of the Big Sky championship.  After that it has been pretty stagnant.  Now regressing.

Show me a AD UND fans haven't said sucks the last 20 years?

Seems like the easiest escape coat.

Needs to stop.

Two absolutely sucked and the reasons were obvious:

Bunning sucked and didn't last long And if didn't resign was gonna get fired. 

Roger Thomas made us stick to D2. And now we're decades behind.

The rest are just escape goats for upset fans:

Brian Faison was instrumental in starting the strongest hockey conference on the country! Yet many sh!tied on him.

And now Chaves. Who didn't fire the football coach before the season is over?! He didn't hire Bubba S or Brad Berry.

It's like the UND "Deep State" state is the bigger issue...."must hire from within"....

Also sat down for a Q&A with one of the most influential figures of our generation recently.

"Bubba you've been running UND football for a decade with some of the best facilities and budgets and have only won one playoff game?!"

"That is unacceptable!"

"But it's not your fault....the deep state told me you were better than the other guy that was 2nd place....the guy now coaching Alabama football....Saban's replacement!"
