Also, teh Bisons weren’t exactly loaded at the receiving positions early on for him. Eventually they were but not initially.

Successful coach with two games left in the season leaves the program. I wonder what happened behind the scenes. Early word is that he had enough years in to fully max his retirement. He also likely wasn't interested in dealing with the FBS move(similar to the Gene Roebuck situation). Finally, the guess behind the timing is that it's because of the new early signing period. By formally resigning now and allowing a new coach to be hired by early December, Jax St doesn't get hurt as bad on the recruiting trail as if he resigned just a week or two before the signing period opened and the team hits the date without a permanent head coach. But those are all theories, not hard facts.

Just the way he carried himself. Freshman Brock was lowkey not good though. We had like 4 plays. Off tackle. Dive. Screen. 9 route. I think Brock had a solid core and he absolutely had FBS coaches. I dont think that environment is present anymore. I'll leave it to the guys who played at the collegiate level to figure the finer points out. I like the current kid. He seems like he's getting better. I just think Roehl and Entz got Peter Principled into jobs neither of them belong anywhere near. 1
Midwestern Hawk Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Not sure if it has been reported on here, but Jared Elliott will no longer be Head Football Coach at Western Illinois.

If football was number 1 they would be trying to move to the CUSA with the Bison! But no they are content staying in the FCS. The only way UND puts football first is if the bandwagon Bison football fans come back home…….
Sioux>Bison Posted November 14, 2021 Posted November 14, 2021 Mo St gives UNI another quality loss……… seriously why did Petrino let that happen. Mo St blew a big lead and pulled it out to win 34-27 UNI with an easier task next week at Western Ill to try and finish 6-5
FSSD Posted November 14, 2021 Posted November 14, 2021 Locks: NDSU 6-1 - Win next against USD and they have the Conference Title. MSU 6-2 - They are done with conference play. USD 5-2 - They win on the road against NDSU and it sets up a 3 or 4 way tie for the Conference Title. The win today locks them into the playoffs. SIU 5-2 - They play YSU at home. Conference Title is still possible. Things get interesting: SDSU 4-3 - They host UND next week. Win and it is a lock. Lose and things get interesting. They have two quality wins @CSU and NDSU. UND 3-4 - On the road at SDSU. Win 99% chance they are done. But, if they win UND would be tied in conference with SDSU and own H2H. Only quality win would be SDSU - but finishing the season strong winning 4 or last 5. UNI 3-4 - Hosting WIU, like UND with a win next week they would only have 6 D1 wins, but they would have three quality wins - Sac St., SDSU and SIU. If UND wins at SDSU does it open things up for UNI in over SDSU. Predicted Outcome: NDSU, SDSU and UNI win, SDSU is in the playoffs but the question is, does UNI get in if Sac St wins out (co Big Sky Champ or Big Sky Champ). Plus how much does the nonconference MVFC record sway the committee. UND needs the following to have a chance: Win at SDSU, hope UNI loses and hope Sac St. win Big Sky Championship out right. If the bubble falls correct could they get in???

What if UNI and UND wins? Here is their potential FCS records: 6-4 SDSU 6-4 UND 6-4 UNI which one gets in?

There is a shot but unfortunately I think the committee is anti MVFC but we will see personally i think 6 mvfc teams are worthy

SDSU would have losses to both UND and UNI and it would seem pretty tough to put them in the playoffs over both UND and Uni in that situation. I think if people are convinced the Missouri valley is getting five teams in the playoffs, UND has a legit shot at the playoffs if UNI losses and we beat SDSU. Still looking like a possibility to me that the Missouri valley only gets foUr teams in in the above scenario. I'M NOT SURE IF THERE ARE ANY SCENARIOS WHERE THE BIG SKY ONLY GETS THREE TEAMS IN THE PLAYOFFS, BUT THAT WOULD SURE HELP
