shep Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I agree that hiring DeBoer may have brought some good times but as he ascended he would have brought his assistants w him and UND could be in about the same situation it’s in now. 1 Quote
Mama Sue Posted January 14 Posted January 14 His salary is projected to be $10M+. That does not count the buy out. He makes $4.2M now at Washington. Quote

UND-SPORTS-FAN Posted October 27 Posted October 27 I love that the bar for the football progrum is so low that being nice gets you a 3 to 4 year extension without question 2 Quote

F'n Hawks Posted October 27 Author Posted October 27 What kind of connections does Fruechte have to put together an entirely new defensive staff? If Bubba really loves UND football he resigns after this year Quote

AJS Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Depends on when. IF they finish with 6 wins or less this year, then I do think it happens after this year. Go with Freund and keep all offensive personnel. If they get to 7 (with or without making playoffs) or more, then put the associate head coach tag on Fruechte and hope next year is Bubba’s last and then hand it over to Fruechte. Quote

So you’re saying the reason Bubba keeps getting extensions is there’s big $ boosters pumping money into the program to keep him? I had just assumed Chaves was incredibly lazy and loved mediocrity. Very happy with this new development. Quote

I had just assumed Chaves was incredibly lazy and loved mediocrity. Very happy with this new development. It’s true though. A lot of influential money backing Bubba despite his mediocre at best coaching ability. Pays to be nice I guess, especially in North Dakota. Comes back to expectations though; being nice is more important than winning (or doing both!) around here I guess 1 Quote

This is why our teams are mediocre to average year after year. Why big money boosters embrace this garbage is beyond my understanding. The person who needs to start caring about excellence in athletics is Armacost. Armacost is the President; it all starts at the top. Until then.......... Quote
NDRA Posted October 27 Posted October 27 So people are saying that the second choice OC, less than a year ago, should be made the new HC? Quote

AJS Posted October 27 Posted October 27 With these new developments (at least for me), think we’re stuck. Clearly, there would always be a tipping point, but not sure even Bubba would be able to reach that low. Let’s play hypothetical’s. He loses out this year. Would that do it? @UND-FB-FAN , @CMSioux I think it would. Unlikely of course as based on past results, getting to 6 would be enough. Just needs one more. My new outlook is hope for the best. 7 wins this year, enough to sell another year to the team ( i.e transfer portal for key players). Key for me is putting Associate Head Coach title on Fruechte after this year. Quote

Bubba will keep the job all season, I’m sure of it. At the end of year, though, after the expected occurs (one and done in the playoffs or worse), someone needs to step up and be a leader, whether that’s Bubba resigning, or Chaves and Armacost buying him out. The latter is very unlikely to happen, so really it again comes back to Bubba. Will he admit it’s time and he can’t get it done? Special teams coordinator or Dosch getting the interim title is pointless, accomplishes nothing in the grand scheme of things. The program needs a new voice/ leader in the worst way. it’s why the team is a complete shell of itself on the road or in big games / playoffs. No lead voice. No voice of reason. No leadership or direction. Quote
