2024 UND Football

[Midwestern Hawk]

Bubba swan song this fall.  Not going to be good.  Unless possibly Pawlak has the ability to handle it.  Danny got out while the getting was still good.

Your choices are a guy that retired from coaching over 25 years ago and a HS coach/financial advisor that makes 5x what UND can pay him at Bell Bank.

Danny isn’t an idiot he probably saw the ship coming down and he’s going to ride the hot ticket out of town

Correct. Danny is no idiot. 2024 is a lame duck year. ship is sinking. 2013 coaching hire was poor, and extension in 2021 was especially poor. This is just plain bad to be honest. But, well, hockey … Ha! What a joke…

And when the job comes open next year instead of being fired this year he will be able to apply after leading sdsu to another natty

2024 is a completely lost season. Any respectable OC isn’t stupid. They see that Bubba’s days are likely numbered. They’re not going to make a career risking move and come over here just to get canned with the staff right away. 

How many players join them?

For those keeping track (probably missing some): 

Danny to SDSU

Robbie Rouse to SDSU 

Steve Crutchley to NDSU 

Malcom Agnew to Sac St (now Stanford)

Chaves needs to find some $ so UND can start poaching our rivals' and conference opponents' coaches back... 

When you fund the most popular sport in America as a second-rate sport this is what you get … pathetic. Increase the salary pool … ASAP. And hire a better head coach please.

Might be on to bigger and better things by then but this sounds nice in theory at least.

Bubba screwed this program over by not stepping down and letting Danny take over. Now they’re stuck with this old guy that won’t change. 

Correct. Losing respect fast … and didn’t have much leftover to begin with.

dont count out mike....edgewood doesnt pay that much imo

[Tolna]

SDSU friend told me he isn't even the new OC, he was hired as the QB coach.
 

They are announcing their new OC tomorrow. 
 

Not sure if he is right or not.

Will bubba trust the next guy in charge of the oc is the next question

 

this is a program defining moment

 

imassum they won’t have bubbas trust like Danny did and our offense will go back to Rudy days

 

by Jerry. By feeny

andnfinally

 

bye bubba

“Bye bubba” should’ve happened years ago …  but he had guys in his corner from the good ol’ days and here we are...

Too late for that. Should have happened years ago or at least weeks ago. Now we’re in for a screwed 2024 season because of leadership incompetency on several fronts.

Was thinking the same thing. I could see Bo leaving. Maybe Quincy? But I don’t see much playing time for Quincy if he goes somewhere else.

[SIOUXFAN97]

is REA being built the worst thing that's ever happened to und athletics?

From an overall athletics standpoint - not just hockey - yes.

[UND Football Fan]

If there is a short list and no quality, Craig Bagnell of USD maybe an option. Good OC at Bemidji and made Mary’s crappy offense (slot veer) to a top D2 offense. He was a winner in college and a quarterback guy. 
 

just a crazy thought

But look at Danny's lineage.  How many times has the word "inbred" been used to describe the problems at UND?   He seems pretty attached to Bubba at the hip.

Absolute gut punch.
