Look at the turn around for the defense this year! Oh wait… I’m shocked that all these D2, D3, NAIA, and Juco transfers didn’t turn around our defense. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying the portal hasn't been cure all, at least for us, that some people want to think it is. Nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux95 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 6 hours ago, geaux_sioux said: 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be accomplished by getting rid of bubba 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a more complete team with Clive going deep and the best front 7 of the D1 era by a mile. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do but don’t land enough of our top targets. Offense is stacked. They might not be on the field if you follow that. There is more than a few that should be starting. I also hear chatter that’s some O and D lineman could move on either side of the ball and aren’t utilized. Minnesota and Wisconsin player of the year both never found the field yet. Multiple lineman on both sides of the ball recruited by other big schools including the Iowa’s. Some have not found the field either. Kilty looks like a man possessed at KState. Ventrelli was best in FCS. Bryant starts at San Diego. On and on and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably looking at 8-4 with no ranked wins - guessing that would not fly here. I realize they are not eligible for the playoffs, but even if they were they would be bubble.
