He clearly doesn't get it. ^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^ The problem is the horse is out of the barn with Bubba already getting the extension. I wonder if the GOBC can negotiate a $20 buyout. And Chaves should have understood our expectations long before now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochsioux Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Chaves seems to be happy with the state of the football program. As a fan I am not. Hard to get excited about the near term future of UND football. Hopefully there is an easy option for a buyout after the next season.

Old Fella Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 1 hour ago, Hawkster said: WOW. I was wondering how we'd afford Bubba's buyout after this year and now Chaves does this. There was no reason for this, it's not like Bubba was going to go anywhere. And the fact that he won't ever go anywhere might have been proof that he was UND caliber coaching material either. Get ready for 4 more years of piss poor football. Sorry, but that's what it is. Get ready for 4 more yeas of piss poor------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I would like to know of some of the "language" of this contract in regards to buy-out and transitioning to an administrative role at UND. I would also like to know is this: Will this time be used to groom a certain staff member to take over when Bubba makes the call? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bubbas contract is up he retires and that will look better on the university than firing Bubba. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good teams find a way to win no matter where they are. The main advantage to a home game is it engages the fans and keeps them coming. I know, someone will pop up say the Bison win because they stay home for the playoffs, but they seem pretty perfect on the road too, so there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many don't agree but I think Chaves knows what he is doing and I know he is not satisfied with UND having a so-so FB program. I would guess the extension included a clause for making a change as soon as after next year if results aren't improved. A job and paycheck waiting for Bubba in the Foundation may easily be part of the agreement. For talented kids who are interested in UND, I am sure the competition points out that Bubba might be on a short leash. A 4-year deal puts that to rest. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDSU also earns playoff home field advantage in the regular season by winning difficult road games, such as SDSU in Brookings ....... whereas UND goes on the road and gets blown out by Idaho State.

crb1 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Bubba is a nice guy but I am not impressed with this move. I think this was premature and Mr. Schweigert needs to at the very least win a playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Bubba is a nice guy, but has by no means earned this extension. I would have liked to have seen what he could have done next year. will there be a step forwards or a step backwards? 100% hope is has nothing but success!

Any wonder why we have a crap program while the Bison have unprecedented success? I had a cocktail with a Bison friend who told me this - "I have good news and bad news - Cox entered the transfer portal, however UND gave Bubba a 4 year extension". So tired of this. Thanks a lot Chaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd1sufan Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 4 hours ago, Sioux94 said: I believe he had two years left, 2020 and 2021 by reading it, and they extended it two more years. Seems like they could have waited one more year before granting an extension. Only positive I can see from granting it now is for recruiting it takes lessens doubt of head coaching change. Usually you give extensions to coaches that have been performing well and you want to make it harder for them to leave with a large buyout for leaving before the end of the contract. At this stage in Bubba's career, I don't think any AD will be knocking on Chaves door to talk to Bubba about a job anytime soon. And I really don't think people are going into recruits homes telling kids Bubba won't be around in a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub27 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Without knowing any of the details, pretty hard to criticize the extension. The only thing it does for sure is gives an appearance of stability to any recruits. Beyond that, it's unknown until any specifics are released.
