A home playoff game or a win (or both) would be nice, but definitely not necessary. I think we can all agree this would more than justify a 5-6 year extension for Bubba and Co. because if there is one thing this fan base and program needs .... its more griddy (but not too often). It also might be a lot to ask, but if we can keep within 2 scores of SDSU, its basically a win! Expand 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 … Quote

zonadub Posted November 27, 2023 Posted November 27, 2023 This is a water under the bridge question… if DeBoer had been hired 10 years ago as UND’s head coach, how many here believe he would still be here? What would the ceiling have been? As an example, if his typical good season was 7 wins, would he still be here 10 years later or would he have been asked to find another gig? On the other hand, from looking at his records at Fresno and Washington, would UND have made deep runs into the playoffs and then DeBoer move on (like, dare I mention, Bohl and Klieman) leaving the program in the hands of his protege or entirely new blood? Just frustrating that Bubba is being given 10 years to rinse, repeat… Have said this before, and believe it to be even more true after the way the Hawks finished the season, post NDSU. Freund is not the answer. The whole staff needs a re-tooling. 1 1 1 Quote

IF you dont think the offense was part of the problem you are giving way to much credit to running up scores against crappy teams against UNI 0 pts First half against Indiana state.. 7pts South Dakota - 3 pts (7 was ko return) While our Defense was clearly the weakest link.. Our offense was terrible against all decent teams except NDSU. The frustrating thing is that our offense had the template to win games this year (NDSU game plan) and Danny must have just been too bored with that. Hopefully 2024 will be a better year.. Im not expecting much in the way of changes in the coaching staff.. hopefully we dont lose the OL coach as he seems to have some talent/recruiting ability. Somehow the defense has to get better and Im hoping for a change at QB and/or Danny is another year smarter. I think our Offense has a chance to be even better in 2024.. good OL.. good RB's.. (Ziebarth, Isaiah, Siedl) good WR's (Belquist, plenty of returners, redshirt freshmen (Tai, hakim)).. better QB. Expand Ol coach is only one improving olayers 2 Quote

At this point, what can be done to save it? What is there to be excited about on that side of the ball next year? This defense isn’t even close to being good or where it needs to be. With no likely changes to the defensive staff, what is going to change? Expand But Bubba uses his same old line that he has done time and again with Rudy and our bad defenses that he knows they have to be better and the coaches need to figure it out. Of course he gets rid of anyone he has to for him to keep his job, but when does it fall on him when none of the things he identifies as problems, like getting off the field on 3rd down, remain as problems year after year? They just keep pushing the problems to another year, and now we’re even back to play calling on offense when the game is on the line. Quote
tnt Posted November 27, 2023 Posted November 27, 2023 The fact that we have consistently given up 3rd and 13 or more with a porous secondary and no pass rush, while when we are in the same situation on offense we basically throw a bubble screen and hope to get a few yards is an indictment on the coaching staff’s passive mindset, and recruiting deficiencies. They do nothing to inspire confidence in their players and it shows, just like Bubba does nothing to inspire confidence in the fan base. 1 Quote
