In today's football world, there's a lot of abandonment going on. Danny was named Associate Coach a year ago. Unless the title is completely meaningless, most thought he was the heir to Bubba. He left when it became apparent that the heir wouldn't be taking over for quite awhile.

I highly disagree with the notion that the O was as bad as the D. Did you see the playoff game? The D had 2 stops all day.

I met the OC and he seems like a good guy and from what I read from Tom Miller he may have a more intense style that is needed at UND.

Whatever happens this year, the one who needs to take responsibility if things go bad is the AD as Irish pointed out above.

The O also severely mismanaged the end of that playoff game.

The AD should have stepped up years ago.

I don’t think Danny is or was going to be “the guy”.  He thought they all would be fired after one more average season and didn’t have the belief that they would be able to deliver a better season. I liked Danny personally thought he was a nice man. And although I understand the opportunity, abandoning the kids you recruited to coach a division rival is a s$!tty  thing to do. 
 

Bubba got extended for 3 reasons. He had a playoff run, he beat NDSU, and the new OC. Mostly the third. They want to see what they have there. Remember this, the games we lost were as much about downright poor or lackluster offense as defense and that is Danny. UNI for instance. 
 

Let’s see what kind of juice the new OC can bring.

Bubba had a playoff run?   One win over Missouri State in the covid screwed up spring season of 2020 does not constitute a "run".

[Kab]

If players  buy into bubba and the new coaches like some on Sioux sports do the team is doomed this year.

for players sake give them a chance

looking forward to the QB race and see if defense has some new blood and how the strength and conditioning coach gets players better

[SiouxFan100]

Yes, there has been some changes this year. Hopefully successful changes.

You couldn't be more WRONG!

Yep, I submitted a question online. I plan on going if nothing is going on. It's only one hour.

This could turn into a massive s-show.

It's what people wanted. They are stepping up and going to give it a try.

If people can't handle something like this respectively, even if they don't agree with whatever reasons are given to answer questions, not sure what to say other than it would be really disappointing.

I think people can be disappointed if the responses are similar to some of the Press Briefings we see.  Were the answer isn't related to the question and simply turns into talking points by the athletic department.  I think people can get frustrated if that happens because you are completely disrespecting people.

Here's a question:

Why would a ND boy like Hagen go to SDSU? Money? Title?

Wanting to get out of our program?  Bubba has successfully sucked all buzz out of this thing.

wasn't part of the selling point of bring back bubba was to win in state recruits?

I plan on going to hear what other people think (people besides the regulars on this forum).

Has Chaves fired any coach since he's been here? Was Brew fired??

Exactly - what are the odds of getting a straight answer about Bubba's two - count em - two extensions.  I have no expectations for this.

Just curious what you would legitimately expect them to say that would actually satisfy you? Again, I'm positive people are going to complain because they don't "agree" with reasoning or thought process on certain decisions. The point isn't to make everyone happy but to at least provide accurate dialog instead of people running with their own theories. 

There's probably also a fine line on what they are going to say in a public forum as it relates to an individual's employment status/discussion before you start wading into privacy issues.

The answer is the had to extend him now or it would’ve been impossible without a mutiny after they go 6-6 this fall.  Simple

Zero chance they get to 6 wins.

Had to extend to attract any promising OC to the program as well. As much as I am ready to move on, Bubba did not deserve to be fired. I always hoped that he bled enough green to realize he should step aside and yet the young up and coming OC run the show.
