I agree with some of your comments after Saturday, disagree with this. You’re not improving on 7-4 if he’s playing and maybe the coaches were honest with him about it so best of luck to him. The back-up leaving is not a major concern, and I never wrote that it should be. Perhaps the culture strike that the recent losses have had (enticing players to leave) is worth mentioning, and it’s never good to lose depth, but this is more of an issue with the overall direction of the program. It’s stale, not making any progress, doing the same thing season after season; beating the teams it is supposed to beat, and not beating the teams it is not supposed to beat. That means 7-4 seasons year after year (sometimes worse). There is a glaring inability to compete against top teams in this conference. Road success has also been poor. Proves the lights are too bright for this staff; need new leadership to take the next step. New facilities won’t change how this staff prepares the team for big games, especially in- game management/coaching; what they’re currently doing is clearly not championship caliber. Quote

Not good. UND still has struggled mightily against his teams in Vermillion, but I am in no way advocating he should be hired at UND. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Unless something changes significantly from now to season's end, I believe we'll have final evidence that Bubba is at his ceiling. If he loves the program as much as he says he'll step away to a "Bill Walsh" role. It's no disrespect or dishonor. It's no different that RT stepping out for Dale to carry on. 3 Quote
Mama Sue Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Sickota…not sure I totally agree with you. RT handed Dale a motivated, well disciplined team that was committed to play their best for UND. Now with the transfer portal and NIL issues, much of that has changed. So, what a future coach will get is much different and it is no one’s “fault.” Just changes in society and college sports. Quote

All coaches in all sports have to deal with "changes in society and college sports". Some are successful, some are not. If Bubba can't be successful in the current environment, we need to find someone who can. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Tommy is a very solid FCS QB. Tommy's a winner. His receiving core outside of #1.......meh. His offensive line.....meh. They can't move the line of scrimmage to consistently run the ball and are at best average at pass protection. His RB group.....meh. Play calling (most of the time)..... meh. A Q run out of the wildcat is your 2nd play vs SDSU? Lots of issues on the O side of the ball besides Tommy. Quote

Other than plays based off the QB sneak, I'm not in favor of running any Q wildcat plays ever again. Success rate is bad, and he isn't a fast enough runner. Tommy needs to throw downfield more often - the quick screen game doesn't work against good teams when they are expecting that. Quote

nodak651 Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 I recall the announcers in the SDSU game saying multiple times that none of the receivers were open. That can't still be a problem is it? He might not have the strongest arm ever, but it seems like it's good enough to attempt more than zero throws down field. Maybe it's something to do with his progression - is he just not looking at receivers with longer routes, either by choice or play calling? This is a 45 yard throw that he released fairly quickly.
