Triggered? Or just amused by the randomness ideas are tossed out? We have people complaining that the head football coach doesn't have an eye for talent, can't hire the right assistants and holds on to them too long then in the next breath thinks he should be put in charge of hiring head coaches for the entire athletic department. Whether you agree with any or even some of that, you literally can't make this stuff up.... 

You just described an online discussion forum. This is why we have discussion forums. What do you think discussion forums are for?

Based on the home schedule next year and Saturday's playoff debacle what are the odds we hear from Bubba sometime next season...."Winning at home is hard"?? We got the other side of the coin this past season.

Time to promote Bubba to AD and can Chaves! Worked with Roger Thomas….

And RT stubbornly refused to move up to FCS too.   Even when he was NCC commish he held us  back when the XDSU's wanted to move up.  Moving up instead of moving OUT really doesn't change much.

Well, we've finally hit galaxy brain portion of the offseason and it isn't even 72 hours old.
First off, being a D2 Athletic Director vs a D1 Athletic Director are completely different things. And the landscape of college athletics has changed just slightly over the last 25-30 years. This isn't a knock on RT (or BS) but things like this are why it is tough to take most of the commentary here seriously any more.

Bubba is still living in the 25-30 year ago mindset.   Nothing has changed for him.  
 

I know my remark doesn’t qualify as “ serious commentary “like you demand but I had to get that off my chest.

So to stop the inbred nature that people complain about, we will hire someone from within who will in turn give UND applicants a higher priority than "outsiders".

Best case is likely 3-2 heading down to Fargo.  At this point, that will not go well and then we return home to host UNI.  The trend line seems to be moving lower with the exception of a massive bump this season vs Bison.  Its not all that unlikely that we could be heading to Youngstown at 3-4 and in a "must-win".

You started that fund yet? The one you're going to attach your name to? We're waiting to help contribute.

If Chaves was to step down tomorrow, do you have names of any potential replacements you would like to share with us?

Erik Martinson, Asst AD, UND
Josh Morton, AD, Augustana 

And wildcard darkhorse: Bryn Chyzyk, JD (GM Waterloo, USHL) 

Bubba Schweigert would finish fourth in that list.

The last thing we ever need is a hockey guy as AD

It worked from a new Head Football Stand point.  Not from an AD stand point.  Him wanted to stay D2 when the SU's were going D1 was the worst AD decision ever made.

I'd take wildcard Bochenski over Chyzk or Bubba.  

[Sweethockey]

Bubba’s contract is or has expired, correct? What is Chaves going to do?

[gfhockey]

I’d take Morton. 
 

he’s done more with less

Was hoping to make a trip down to a Frisco, TX in January, but I guess I’ll have to figure something else out for my January trip for the next 10-15 years, maybe longer … 

 

and yes, yes, I know … there are nicer places than Frisco in January … 

imo fcs will dissolve before we ever get our jv championship like ndac and sdac.........

Nothing jv about flying (or driving) to Texas in January and celebrating with fellow UND fans while watching the team compete for a national championship … but yeah, not likely to happen anytime soon at this rate

At the rate FCS is going we'll have U Mary and SD School of Mines competing for the title in Frisco.   No future in FCS any more.

This is from 2020, when did he get another extension?

Extended after a horrendous coaching job in 2021.   Talk about what ifs….

Bubbas gotta go
