Couple of takeaways:

- Bubba's salary won't be what it was as FB coach

- Fruechte applied for HC position

- Bubba will be mentoring other coaches (which opens up some questions, like what's he telling them? "Here's how to consistently lose on the road but never really be held accountable." ??)

The conspiracy theory bug in me is wondering,  did a certain some one tank the year to put all this in motion...

IMO the bubba step down is a win win. Everyone loves Bubba and he loves UND. Thanks 

Yep.  Glad they found a way to make it work.

Net effectively spread the $750k buyout over four years.

 Guess I should have done the math.

4 yrs @ 150 plus 3 lumps @ 50 -> the nominal 750 owed under buyout clause. Or that's what my Jethro Bodine math sez ...

good point, I was thinking more of the offense nose dive mid season, the qb choice, the lack of time for qb back ups.... 

 

more of "let bubba piss this year down his leg so my old HC can swoop in, lead the program for a few and cede to me...  just a hair brained idea from someone with no hair.

Ah, yeah certainly some poor decisions made by someone re: playing time for backup QBs.

One suspicious flight this morning from Western NE.  It’s medical transport, so no news.  

Fake medical transport would be sneakier than Amtrak!

This is good. I had a good laugh with it.
 

Nice guy does not equal good to great coach. Some folks struggle with that concept.

No press conference announcement?

At noon Friday it looks like leaky Sunday to a Monday presser. <-- Now that I've said that we'll get a name in twenty minutes. :D

my old HC

Unless I'm not thinking of the right person, Fruechte did not coach with anyone being considered (at least by the SiouxSports contingent), did he?
