Popular Post UND1983 Posted Monday at 09:02 PM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 09:02 PM 27 minutes ago, AJS said: From my recollection, Bubba was officially extended in March, but the rumor was Danny left, because he found out the plan was for Bubba to be extended. The post right after Danny left and the reason is seared into my memory. Is there plausible deniability? Yes. Do I believe the post and not the quote Bubba said, yes. The portal exits that I would count as red flag would be any starter after spring ball, those happened in April. This is correct. Danny left due to Bubba staying on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't leave because Bubba was staying and/or got an extension, he left because UND can't guarantee him head coach in waiting. Officially offering someone a job that isn't open would have caused significant issues given ND public entity hiring laws. It is what it is, but probably worked out better for him and his replacement has proven to be pretty good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t show that a $5MM move up fee would be possible. disclaimer… doubt NDSU will get an invitation, but UND is not prepared to be ready if they do. Perhaps the reason for not executing an obviously needed buy out is to keep the funds for this event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if moo u knows this and sees it as an added incentive to move up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a good coach and double their current salary and/or UNDs football coaches. No pussyfooting around with hoping "this guy" will be good. "We don't have money to go FCS"....yet they always find a way. "NDSU doesn't have FBS money to pay a coach".....yet they'd find a way. UND can find a way to bring in the highest paid FCS coach if they really wanted too... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Danny we at least had a winning record and made the playoffs, even if it was one and done. We aren't doing either of those this year. I don't know what to make of Fruechte.

I just didn't think many people thought Bubba wasn't going to be coaching UND football right now. I'd guess he must have been throwing out the thought of retirement?

Not sure if this is what your looking for: https://www.inforum.com/sports/bison...thers-at-bison The report says South Dakota State spends $8.8 million a year on football. North Dakota State is next at $6.41 million and the rest of the league goes as follows in millions: North Dakota $6.02, Missouri State $5.24, Southern Illinois $5.21, Illinois State $4.8, Youngstown State $4.71, South Dakota $4.45, Murray State $4.03 and Northern Iowa $3.8.

If UND is spending 6 million plus on football, there's no reason for mediocrity. There's more than enough money to support a successful program. I also heard rumblings that some of the big alumni might be getting ready to call for a change. If UND loses this weekend, I wonder if Bubba's seat gets hotter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is incredibly frustrating is that it is unacceptable that “big alumni” are just getting ready for a change now. Should have been communicated years ago (2017 or 2021).

Hopefully, they will push, and this isn't just talk. Some changes need to be made. I personally, like Bubba, he's a decent human being, but we're stuck in a rut. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally, like Bubba, he's a decent human being, but we're stuck in a rut. Absolutely, this is no indictment on his character as an individual at all, but, division 1 football is a results-driven business. UND is not competing with regional rivals and putting up the results necessary to compete; it’s clearly time for major change. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they win for the sake of the seniors, and all players, and really, even Bubba. But Bubba shouldn't be coaching for his job this Saturday. He should be coaching the last game of his career regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
