Who would UND hire?

Agreed, but unless there’s a contract clause I don’t know about, he’s not going anywhere then. Only possible change is Schwenzfeier being the scapegoat and getting replaced.
 

Otherwise it will be rinse and repeat. “Leaders” (Chaves, Bubba) will cite the new buildings as the reason why 2025 will be different, but again, it won’t be - it’s about the people in the buildings, not the buildings themselves. 

Remember if one of the coordinators leaves they will have to give bubba another extension or they can’t recruit another assistant coach or any players  without bubba having at least two more years on his contract.   

there are so many reasons given to keep extending bubba.. I have no hope he will ever be gone outside of direct retirement.. I’m sure there is a top 10 list of excuses to keep extending bubba somewhere.  
I would think a defensive specialist like bubba would fire himself after having a terrible defense year after year. 

also to be clear I’m not advocating for bubbas replacement in the middle of the season and I still hope we somehow catch lightning in the bottle and make a playoff run.

Freund shouldn’t be considered

I dont have a problem with him being considered although not sure he would be a first pick. A year+ at SDSU makes him more qualified.. offense wasn't the problem when he was here either although I have preferred Fruechte's play calling.  Somehow they need to bring in somebody that can actually fix the defense while keeping it up on the offensive side.

He left UND and I think we have a good person in his place that players like

Cause UND needs to move on.  For the love of all things holy stop inbreeding for the first time in 25 years.

A head coach with no previous UND ties would be refreshing

So people are saying that the second choice OC, less than a year ago, should be made the new HC?

And I'm still wondering how much influence Fruechte had on that last play.  To make an OC heir apparent after 8 games when he hasn't even shown anything special is repeating the same mistake.   Remember when we discussed inbred?

The team scored 40 points … can’t blame the offense with the YSU game.

But I get your point; don’t want to name an heir apparent too soon. We haven’t even finished up a full season yet, so right now is probably too soon.

I’m sure we’ll find the next DeBoer next time around

My eldest niece .  She is a really nice human being with und ties.  Since those seem to be the top two qualifications for a UND football head coaching position I nominate her.

It’s a must, since the “hiring the coordinators of the 2001 and 2003 championship teams” strategy hasn’t worked out …

Some have “it”, some don’t. Lennon was a leader of men, and his two coordinators from those teams weren’t “it”

Does anyone think "the picture" is going to play a role in who the head coach is next year? 

I still firmly believe that if they lose their next 3 games, then Bubba's gone. One could argue this is the most important three game stretch in the D-1 era. This program needs new leadership. The last two games could not have emphasized that more.

If it happened this year, I wanted them to get Danny originally. "The picture" sort of cemented that. Who can blame him for leaving?

1 loss at a time

Devil's Advocate: If that's a real problem Danny would not be insubordinate in going to Chaves. Danny didn't deal with it. He left.

I couldn't bear to hang around Sioux Sports after the last two football games, so I'm way behind.  Could you bring me up to speed on "the picture"?

A wise man who used to haunt here would quote Napoleon:

"The morale is to the physical as three is to one." 

That image, if real, doesn't help morale.

To steal a line from Sicatoka about playing devils advocate here.  I'm not sticking up for Bubba, BUT I'm sure someone could produce pictures like that of me sitting in church.   I do close my eyes and listen.   I'm not sleeping but sometimes it just hard to keep the eyes wide open.   I was more shocked about the picture at first then I am now.

I'd really like to know the circumstances and who took them.

Based on Chaves record and obvious loyalty to Bubba, what could Danny have possibly gained by doing that??

To be fair, it could’ve been anyone on the team in the last 6-7 years.  Maybe longer.

The DeBoer ship has sailed…

 

Is there any chance in the world that UND could lure Central Valley’s Brent Vigen back to the state?
