It doesn't appear like anything soaked in - Bubba was nothing if not consistent throughout the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your post, looks like no extension then unless Bubba has a very good season in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB improves, OL improves and I think we try some things to find a WR that fills our current need. I really like our RB room. Basing it on my opinion that I think the offense is improved and we score more points next year. I also have a bunch of confidence in the offensive staff that they learned from this year and will be better. Lots of young coaches there that will improve. Defense will be as good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in December would mean that UND either wins 2 games in the playoffs or UND is a seed and hosts a home playoff game and wins that game.

Since the FCS is so poor UND should be playing in the playoffs on an average year. Quarterfinals should be the measure of it being a good season. It really doesn’t take much to be the top in the FCS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. Last regular season game is 11/19 @ NDSU. First round playoffs would be 11/26, second round would be 12/4, So UND would either need to be a seed or win a playoff game to play in December. So in reality UND wins a playoff game or wins 8+ regular season games and is a seed to still be playing football in December of 2022.

After this fall, I would sure hope that an extension wasn't even remotely a possibility to be on the table. Even if we have a semi-final type year next year, I'd only want a 2 year extension at the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the industry ideal is to have recruits know the HC will be there for at least the 4 years the player is there. However, with the Transfer Portal, I think that ideal is out the window. So why do any extension for more than one year? Will it make that much difference in these times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure South Dakota only allows for 1 year contracts. They seem to do ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now that JMU and Sam Houston are going FBS it’s NDSU and SDSU as the top two programs in the FCS. Montana and MSU are trying to get back to the top of the hill but I think the two SU’s are the cream of the crop. Montana State May beat SDSU in semis this year at home though. Will be fun to see how that one plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AJS Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 Exciting that they’ve added 3 transfers on the O-line (hopefully end up w/ 4). Broken record, but it’s so true. If this team really upgrades that O-line, which I believe they have, the offense should be pretty good next year. After watching the JMU / NDSU game, it really struck me that Tommy wasn’t the issue last year. I don’t think there’s much difference between those two QB’s and Tommy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Sue Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The issue is multi-factorial…it starts at the top and I mean AD.I have listened to several college games in the last few weeks. Two, can’t remember which colleges, interviewed the AD at half time. Great speech… all pumped up! Just food for thought! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
