Well …here we are again ….another UND connection. Had Jake not accepted the gig what ex UND’er would have it have been?  Hard to get too excited for this hire.  Hope it turns out great but bubba is still steering the boat so the complacency is still well in tact.  Not sure on Jake’s credentials but rest assured ….he will most definitely fall victim to mediocrity.  If he has/had any resemblance of being an aggressor…throw that out in the dumpster.   Not until “oh gosh oh golly “ is gone will UND ever be competing for the gold.

He is the best UND was going to do considering the circumstances of Bubba's contract/age

While Landry was the safe pick, he could also turn out to be a very good choice.  As I mentioned he has more experience than Danny had coming into the OC position.  Appears he ran an up tempo offense at UWL from a coaching video that someone shared with me.  From his GF Herald article sounds like he believes in running the ball whether it's the RB, QB, or WR and getting the ball to playmakers hands.  There were a few times last year where Danny needed to just keep running the ball but didn't.  Not sure if he'll end up keeping the hurry up offense or not.  I'm just as excited about our offense next year as I would have been if Danny was still here.  He also said he believes in moving the pocket. Maybe he keeps some of our current plays, but brings some new ones in.  Danny's trick plays were fun to watch at times, but we ran them so often they rarely worked on good teams anymore.   Maybe if we go back to less trick plays, if we do need a big play against a good team and use a trick play......might have better chance of it working because they aren't always watching for it.  

While I am still excited about the offense in 2024, still hoping we have a different HC in place for the 2025 season.

As 94 posted, I am excited for the offense next year.  But, it the defense that needs to take the next step for UND to make progress as a program.

I really like this even if I don’t know what it means.

Always check the fenders of a used car with a magnet before you buy it; if it doesn't stick (putty is non-magnetic) the car has been in an accident and they didn't replace the fender; they just smoothed it with putty and painted. And if it doesn't stick, opening the hood or trunk will likely show more and more costly issues (if you know what you're looking at).

Our TEs could use a rest, let all the breaks and sprains heal with their hands/fingers from this past season.

Can’t you check that database, car fax or something!!!

So you admit you don't actually have a clue then complain anyway?
He hasn't had a connection to UND since he stepped off the field (2010) and graduated (2011). Went and got plenty of experience elsewhere and has a very solid resume. Better than what Danny had when he took over. Better than NDSU's when he was hired. Doesn't guarantee he'll be better or worse than either, but to blindly say you don't know anything about him other than he has a tie to UND and use that complain seems pretty odd.

Interested in the Nose Tackle position next year. Looking at the 2023 Fall Prospectus, UND would return 5 of 6. Any word on Schweigert, Newel or Eckheart?

If you read my post in its entirety you will see my “clue” is that bubba still runs this complacency train.  10 years prove that.  
The ex UND’ers have won ZERO playoff games in D1.   So that is the reasoning for my non excitement.   Does that make sense ?  

But you might of noticed I also typed ..Hope it turns out great.   Not a complaint. Hope he can bring UND a single playoff win.   Does that make sense ?

I think we should wait until we've seen the offense for a few games before going negative. Besides, the offense isn't the problem on this team. We all know what needs to get better.

Just sick and tired of hearing Bubba Schweigert’s nonsensical rambling and lack of quality leadership. Student-athletes are too. Sooner or later, need to have accomplishments tied to your words.

Hope 2024 is “different”

Why would anyone wait to see a few games for that? 

Some on this board have already started the coaching search based on a 3 or 4 win season next year before a down is played.

Sure piss and mown before he has a chance to start spring practice.  Actual I believe many will be surprised of Jake's offense.  It will be productive.

You’re upset people are making preseason predictions?

The bigger question is whether Bubba will allow Jake to run the offense and not micromanage. If Bubba is going to stick his beak in, it doesn't matter who the offensive coordinator is.

No more upset than you are that people want to see how the season plays out before deciding to fire the coach.

You don't think that's a fair question? I think it is.

Just curious if you think bubba micromanaged Danny’s offense?  My totally uneducated opinion is no and I don’t know why he would micromanage Jake’s.. 

also.. not that it matters at all, but Jake’s dad was also a und football player back in the 70s and the family is good buddies with pawlek.. seems like a win win.
