With football, that is 5-7 wins and a first round playoff exit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to think there may be better options out there right Gene Murphy, Roger Thomas and Dale Lennon had UND ties. Pat Behrns had UND ties, struggled here moved to FBS as an assistant then to Omaha as a head coach a with better success. Bubba had UND ties. There may be better options out there so we don’t limit the pool so we don’t miss best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been, and will continue to be, opportunities for greater success. Need to always pursue greater excellence and not become complacent (which is where I think the program and department currently is). UND ties certainly should not be a prerequisite or preferred criteria in hiring process; it limits the ability to find (and ultimately hire) the best candidate in moving UND football forward to unprecedented success. Again, see and learn from 2013 process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t care if there were UND ties if those in charge of making the hire didn’t give that extra weight, which it seems like they have in the past. It reminds me of how a lot of people want term limits for Congress, but when it comes to their own state, they are great guys and they keep re-electing them. If things aren’t getting better your term limit is up. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F'n Hawks Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 I looked back at some old threads. There was a poll for Deboer/Bubba and Deboer had the majority on this forum. If the best person available happens to have UND ties, then hire him. But we can’t have what happened last time, as I feel the fact that Bubba had UND ties had too much weight in their decision. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, can’t put any weight towards UND ties, with 2013 being the prime example of why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfhockey Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Remember, we change the nickname to host home playoff games how many home playoff games that we hosted also, we need to hire someone that’s a winner you can’t teach winning I’m sorry to say, but Bubba has never been a winner check his record at Duluth, southern Illinois, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-FB-FAN Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Honestly, with the current facilities, and soon to come online future facilities, and if the salaries can be improved slightly, UND football would be a very attractive job. This is true even for coaches with no ties to UND previously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it would never happen, but Montana State's head coach is from 25 miles down the road. He'd look really good on the UND sideline. I know it will never happen because he's an Ex-Bison Player.

Agreed - I'm certainly not a mover and shaker in Sioux athletics, but I was personally lobbied by the gobc several times. That group is strangely silent now after 10 years. That certainly moved the needle for us to hire a 22-21 coach instead of an up and comer. However Chave's decision to extend Bubba after a 5-6 season is the main reason we are mired in mediocrity now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
