It doesn’t help “right the ship” faster when we stop attending games, stop donating what we have been etc.

I disagree; it’s the only option when discussion and communication is blatantly ignored time and time again.
 

The expectations just aren’t there for UND football apparently.  I do agree folks should focus on “raising their family or helping their kids in college etc.” but concurrently they probably should not be attending/donating to UND athletics if the University leaders are only going to gaslight them and spend their donated dollars irresponsibly and without merit.

At UND I 100% believe that a program needs to be abandoned & given up on by fans for a change to be made.  Chaves is quite obviously OK with poor to average records for his programs.  If people keep showing up and supporting these mediocre programs he will do nothing but keep it going.

Name one hire that Chaves has made that has worked out in any meaningful way.

You can't........unless you are fine with all the mediocrity. I am not with it.

I, like most, really only follow hockey and football.

Which he didn't hire. So there's really no point to be made there.

If one is the actual AD for a day, the reasonable thing would to tell Bubba....

Next year (2025) will be your last unless you meet these parameters...like winning a playoff game.

And if your Bubba you go "f, that's hard I've only ever done it once in 10 years!"

I would argue that extending Bubba 2x is the same as hiring him.

Attendance at the last two games should be pretty telling already. You have SDSU and USD at home to end the year and there was no energy in the building and lots of empty seats.

Not really.

You could argue, it's the same as not firing him.

Ain't no one firing a head coach that made the FCS playoffs 4 out of the last 5 years like Bubba has before this season.

That's what were gonna blame Chaves for? lol

And looking at recent results, the same could be said for hockey.

You have fully explained the mindset of UND Football and the Athletic Department.  How exciting. 
 

And it was 4 of the last 6.

Making the playoffs in a severely watered-down down FCS is not a great accomplishment. There are high schools in Texas with higher expectations for their FB team than there is here.

To each their own.

Ideal? Nope.

Fireable offense though? Far from it.

UND President: "Why didn't you fire fire the head coach of Football program for only making the playoffs last year?!"
