MNHawk Posted January 23 Posted January 23 If we count the COVID year, Bubba is 83-71 and 1-6 in the playoffs in his head coaching career across two different schools. How long do I have to have faith? He’s at 154 career games. Once he gets to 300 career games can I start judging him based on his mediocre results and setting expectations accordingly? 2 Quote
AJS Posted January 23 Posted January 23 If you took a poll right now, Bubba's approval rating would not be good. Would the majority of season ticket holders / fans want a change at head coach? Yes. I'm curious when things really shifted. You could feel it picking up steam the last couple years, but now it feels like a complete landslide. 2 Quote

Dustin Posted January 23 Posted January 23 One nice thing about the QB race for 2024 is that Landry will not have any preconceived notions on who "should" start based on when or why they were recruited. I know that shouldn't have mattered even if Danny were the OC / QB coach, but I'm sure it is harder to remove yourself from rationale like who's been in the program longer, etc. 3 Quote

Probably goes for other positions too, but QB is of course the big one. Quote

I for one will never count a season where football begins play in February and most teams don’t compete as legit. Many team have recovery time during that stretch. Recruiting. Weights. Coaching changes….etc…to prepare for the legit August start season. So yes …I do not count the ridiculous covid year as legit. If you and others would like too that’s fine by me. Quote

Oh, and Trey Lance. Honestly ..who gives a damn what the Fargo narrative is. 3 Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Like I have said before, if this team fails to win a playoff game this year, Bubba needs to be fired. With a year left on his contract, nothing justifies extending him if they don't win at least one playoff game. We could all be surprised, but it's gonna be tough to win 7 games next year looking at the schedule given we will have a new QB and a new OC. Not meaning to dog on the current state of the program, but it is what it is. As the old saying goes, "You be positive, I'll be realistic" 3 Quote

As the old saying goes, "You be positive, I'll be realistic" I’m still more worried about the defense than I am with a new QB and OC. I honestly could see our offense having a good year but it won’t matter because our defense will be that bad. 3 Quote

CMSioux Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I'm okay with some of the fifth/sixth year guys moving on with their lives. We have some good recruiting years and those guys are ready to step up. There will be growing pains but the D has no where to go but up. 2 Quote

nodak651 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 14 hours ago, gfhockey said: Fort entered portal 63 tackles, 2 INT, and 5 passes defended. 2 and 5 seams low, no? I really don't know. Is there a ratio to expect for DB's or is that not really a thing? (I literally don't have a clue) If that is low, was that a player issue or scheme issue? Quote

Pretty sure Joe also lived with Landry's parents for a bit when he first moved to Grand Forks, before he got his own place. 1 Quote
nodak651 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 SD salary lookup tool lists Freund's salary at 105K. Not sure if that includes benefits. Quote

While we have liked Joe and has been good for the OL, I could be wrong but I'm not sure top level FCS teams would immediately have him as top on their list for an OC position. No offense to Joe and I sure hope he sticks around for a while, but I think they would be able to get someone more qualified. We didn't even hire him is our OC. 1 Quote
