FSSD Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Do people realize that the season is not over yet. UND has two or three big games left: UNI (iffy), USD and NDSU. If they win two of three. They will be in playoffs and possibly hosting a first-round game. The season is far from over. 1 Quote

UND and Chaves need to prove that they want to go on a 2-3 year run of winning the MVFC. Right now, not looking like they care. Nobody should have a lifetime contract, no matter how much the grandmas like him. 2 Quote

Probability-wise, University of North Dakota football could be in the same position as they were last year. Will they advance in the playoffs this time?? Quote

People just make things up and parade them around like they are true. If you actually believe half the crap constantly being spewed around here, I don't know what to tell you other than reality is a different dimension than this site, particularly the last 8-10 months or so. 2 4 4 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 I tend to lean towards the reality of what this program has done over the last decade. 3 Quote

Bubba would be gone if UND Football Fan, Midwestern Hawk, Good Good, Siouxfan97, UND Hoops Fan and their superior fans would pony up enough cash to buy out bubbas contract! But they don’t have the $$$$$, just empty talk capital. I want to move on from Bubba too as much as them BUT I realize it isn’t possible right now due to his contract 1 2 Quote

Beyond disappointing and frustrating… How many times have said this on the site over the last 3 years? Or even the past year? WE GET IT, WE MOSTLY AGREE, WE PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE EXTENDED BUBBA, WE SHOULD MOVE ON, BUT WE HAVE NO INFLUENCE without $$$$$$ SO FOR NOW MOVE ON!!!! 2 2 Quote

They found the $$$$$ to buy out Mussman, although he made a lot less than Bubba does. So the challenge is greater this time. What I really don't want is for Chaves to give Bubba a multi-year contract extension this upcoming off-season after a 7-4 first round playoff exit finish. That would confirm the underlying fears of posters like @UND-FB-FAN, @GoodGood, @Midwestern Hawk: That making UND FB a perennial FCS power is simply not a priority for UND athletics. 2 Quote

Duh, Danny was promoted to asst Head Coach. Chaves is on it. Quote
Mama Sue Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 Bubba coaches…the PR, marketing, and game hype belong to someone else. That is needed to grow the program too. The more Bubba and his staff have to do these marketing tasks, the less time they have for coaching. I assume the AD has staff in place for other programs? Get more people involved…. 1 Quote
