The fact is an FCS HC is a great stepping stone if you get the program turned around. The University, the campus and the new facilities are outstanding. If you are successful in the MVFC you can move up. UND admin is supportive. Once you have the coach that can get them here, these very "boxes" will keep them here and if/when the coach moves on to a bigger program, they won't regret for a second they choose UND for their NCAA football career. The UND football players I've known are extremely loyal to UND because of their experience here and it has not always been because of the games they've played. The point is mute of course when NIL $$ comes a calling. 1 Quote

They had one arm tied behind their back the entire time. Let’s not beat a dead horse. Bubba routinely lost games even when he had more talent than the other team, especially on the road. Not sure how much more successful the new facilities would’ve made him. Still need to be able to make good decisions on game day. Need a coach that can recruit, but also develop, gameplan, and make adjustments. Also a lot of it is who you know, not what you know - need to put together a better staff. To be honest, especially on the defensive side of the ball, the defensive staff as a whole was not getting the job done at all. 1 Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted December 9 Posted December 9 I saw football coaches and Bubba sitting together at the men’s basketball game Saturday night. Must mean something. How bout that for intel! Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted December 9 Posted December 9 Don’t know the full pool of candidates, but gimme Schmidt. Looked back at Schmidt’s last game at UND in 2019; playoff game lost by UND’s offense, only scored six points. If Schmidt gets the job, I’d like to see all those recent FBS connections be truthful and turned into a big-time new coaching staff here at UND. We’ll see … 3 Quote

Most of them will share only with trusted contacts and allow the University the privilege of informing players first, then the public. 4 Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted December 9 Posted December 9 Do you think they are trying to get the head coach and assistants figured out together before any announcement. Quote
