Do you like our current path of the last 10 years?

Not at all. Our current path over the last 10 years falls on bubba, not so much on the talent that we have. Good coaches can get their players to run through a brick wall. Bubba is never going to accomplish that and he's also not going to replace any of the good players who entered the portal with better players from other teams. Turning things around at UND isn't going to be accomplished by bringing in a mass number of portal players - think Missouri State. It's going to be accomplished by getting rid of bubba

Looks like Mo State is doing pretty good right now with portal guys?

We don’t have the talent though. So what are we talking about here. They haven’t changed their recruiting strategy ever. Same approach, same results. Again and again. Small front 7, can’t stop the run. Can’t recruit DBs even though the HC used to coach DBs. Non explosive WRs. It’s a recipe for….. 7-5 every year and can’t win on the road or in the playoffs.

They may be getting a little better of athlete because of their move to FBS. 
 

ISU blue good wideout was FBS drop down. 
 

bringing some to fill gaps I’m for (Montana last year), wholesale acquisition may affect chemistry and game work ethic/effort lacking (Murray State).

We could certainly use a talent upgrade. That's true for most teams regardless.  Bigger issue by far is bubba.  Bubba isn't going to bring in better talent through the portal. Not sure what we've seen in the past 10 years that would make anyone believe that's a possibility

It all trickles down from the HC. Everything. We’ve seen his peak. And that was with a good chunk of guys from the previous coach. 

They said this on the 360 podcast today but even the 2016 season everything had to go right for them. Think about all the crazy wins they had.

Honestly the best team I’ve seen was 2015 last 3 games once Studsrud came back from injury. That was a more complete team with Clive going deep and the best front 7 of the D1 era by a mile.

Agreed.  The staffs under Bubba (minus Rudy) have met a minimum threshold of X's and O's to be successful.  Our roster has had some right parts in place at various times but never enough in place at one time.

This is my opinion too. I don’t agree with theory that says we don’t recruit right players. We do but don’t land enough of our top targets.

They also said this on 360, but weird that in 11 years under Bubba that is the only team that improved during the year and was playing their best football at the end.

I'm not sure we have a defensive player that would start for the SU's.  1 or 2 tops.

Rucker?

 

Yeah,  I don’t follow you guys closely. I just remember Pedigo standing out. I was also impressed with the back end of your defense. I’m sure there’s a few guys who could play for either of the SU’s.
