2024 UND Football

Not sure the big problem is about integrity as much as it didn’t take long for him to jump to SU.

i look forward to the day when UND fleeces a Bison coordinator.

I hope the coordinator switching sides works better than the players who have switched.  Doesn't appear as they've been world beaters to me.

Seth has been pretty good so appreciate that. Barty is what he is in FB, good locker room guy and man.

Yes, you're right, he has been pretty good.  But like I said neither are world beaters.  No disrespect meant to either player, just my opinion.

And screwing people has consequences. That's also life.

Ralph Engelstad liked doing business with a handshake and hated dealing with pages and pages of legalese. Those days are over, unfortunately.

Landry stabbed us in the back. He is persona non grata as far as I am concerned.

He didn’t stab anyone in the back. Spring ball hasn’t started, and he doesn’t owe anyone here anything. If this season goes poorly I sure hope he doesn’t get blamed, that would be a pretty convenient excuse. As another poster said, I think UND football leadership needs to take a good look in the mirror if they are looking for problems.

I agree on the lack of leadership of the FB program. Something has to change.

Wouldn't Landry have had a contract that held him here?  did he have to buy it out?

NDSU bought him out more than likely

I think people use the word integrity like it’s a the 1970s.. there is very little “integrity” in college sports outside of D3.. programs will drop scholarships (happened to friends of mine) .. coaches always leave when they get a better offer.. now players do as well. 
 

there are very few people on this website and others that would turn down 40% more money and more stability than there current job.. most of u would be gone so fast the ink wouldn’t have dried on your old signature.. 

that being said I’m still suprised that Jake did this.

Hey, I was around in the 70s.  Sorry to hear integrity has gone out of style. Clearly, I'm stuck in the past.

I don’t think he gets any blame but I certainly don’t give him a free pass. Lack of character.  He will fit in well with Tim P

[gfhockey]

They have a collective too

 

whil we sit back and watch and think philosophically

A quote from Blazing Saddles work here.. scene where the sheriff comes into town and pulls a gun on himself…. The little old lady with the bonnet says in a desperate voice,  “Won’t someone please do something?”

What does it take for action????

I am amazed at how many people from area aren’t surprised he did this, put it that way

[UND-FB-FAN]

The honest question is what should be done? I’m not surprised this mayhem is happening right now. Bubba needs to be promptly terminated after 2024 season unless there is a major surprise and team wins playoff games. Coaching salary pool then needs to be increased, and a solid up-and-coming coach needs to be hired, and it needs to be done at a record-setting rate for UND to show increased commitment to higher expectations.

DEI

[Cratter]

Yall really missing the point:

Bubba has appeared to really be hiring some highly recruited offensive coordinators lately.

No reason to think he can't do it again.

Good point.  For NDSU to take yet another coach of ours is surprising considering how high and mighty they are

[Longtime fan]

There is a part of me that is smiling about the Landry switch.  A UND guy going to Ndsu. Lol. Can you imagine the hate he already feels.  He will be given zero chance to succeed . They will feast upon him endlessly.  Any small non perfection of any sort will be highlighted for weeks. ZERO leash.  Their fans know what und exes have done or more importantly not done.  Good luck Jake

Really? That's where you want to go (again)? Maybe create a topic on politics somewhere appropriate.

Much harder to do with a lame duck contract

Our so called DEI hires are the ones who keep getting sniped for better opportunities. No one wants our white coaches outside of Pawlak and Danny

It’s not about wins and losses

 

its about gpa! Don’t you know

It should be about both. This isn't an either/or thing.

Maybe missed the point.. kids get their scholarships pulled all the time for not playing well enough.. coaches leave all the time for better opportunities.. the transfer portal has all kinds of people coming and going.  In the business world people leave their jobs all the time for better opportunity’s.  People are using an overly broad definition of the word integrity on this website right now.  
 

I hate the timing of this and really hate that he is going to ndsu but it is the world or college sports now.  We should all hope that bubba was good enough for somebody else to want him.

The last lame duck contract is the reason we are in this pile of crap.. he never should have been extended
