chaves quietly extending bubba 3 years

 

Danny went in to meeting with them expecting chaves bubba to let Danny know bubba will be retiring and he will be named successor and he was blind sided with the plan they wanted to put in place. Danny was more scared about having a bad year this year and everyone getting canned if they didn’t perform so elected to go with the safe money 

Really?

They cannot do this AND keep it a secret. It's going to come out.

I've already contacted the REA on cutting back on my # of FB tickets.  I really don't want to cut back to zero but an extention might prompt that. Not that anybody couldn't get tickets on gamedays anyways.

I usually trust you but think this may be a rumor.   I honestly don't think we should jump off the deep end until we know more.   Rumors can do more harm then the truth sometimes.

Yet this is a plausible scenario.

I filed a FOIA request for FB contracts and received a response Feb 7th.  As of Feb 7th, he hasn't been extended.  His last extension was signed Feb 23rd, 2022, so I'm not saying gfhockey is wrong, just that it hasn't happened (yet?).

Absolutely it is.  Hope not true, though.

[nodak651]

I'd be fine with it if at the same time they slashed the buyout.

Agreed this would be nice too

 

see if chaves could do some negotiating on that end

[gfhockey]

And guys this is just what a source says usually he’s pretty reliable

[gfhockey]

I’m not saying it’s true just what I was told. Believe what you want

WOW….just wow. Decisions in dark smokey rooms. Happens all over and bugs me no matter who, what, when, or where. 
Not sure how much is fact and how much isn’t, but wow.

If this is true then you def can't blame Danny and shame on Bubba and Chaves for letting someone like Danny go just so you stay for a few more years of mediocre football. They basically said 3 years more of terrible Bubba ball is better than hiring younger talent (Danny) as head coach. They screwed the future up for this football program and are going to start over in the 3 years after bubba runs it even farther into the ground!!!

First, consider the source. It definitely seems to be more sensationalized from any of the versions I've heard. The end result was likely best for everyone in the long run, even if it meant losing the OC. And before the random arguments come up, I'm not saying that I think losing the OC was good for the very near future.

Also, no clue if there is an actual extension in the works (even though some have decided it is apparently already done since its been brought up for the last two months). Even if there is, as was already stated, it doesn't mean anything until we see the actual details of what would be in any sort of extension. If it is a multi-year extension with full buyout, that's significantly different than an extension in years only with an easy buyout for UND that on the surface shows long-term stability to help with recruiting, which these days includes new recruits and keeping your own players on your team.

I am not buying this until I see the press release or someone like Tom Miller says he has a source that says Bubba is being extended.

[zonadub]

If true, it would go a long way to explain why Freund left and Landry was only at UND long enough to do a drive-by as soon as he found out.

This is old news. Pathetic and embarrassing news, but still old news. UND athletics continues to make questionable decisions, and it all comes back to low expectations and ulterior motives.

[UND1983]

Chaves is too lazy to make a move that isn’t easy.

Yeah, this it ain't it.

So the rumor is not true or Landry did not know?

What am I missing?

You appear to have inside knowledge.

Landry spending a week in Grand Forks had zero to do with anything mentioned.

You epitomize the status quo. You antagonize innovation and improvement (change). But, you are consistent with your message and provide an excellent example of the very mindset permeating throughout UND decision-makers (e.g., Chaves) right now, particularly in regards to UND football. This microcosm is a nice example for us trying to understand the proposed rationale for poor decision-making, so, thank you. 

As for extension with possible buy-out terms in favor of UND, that is a good point. Hopefully UND and Chaves actually do that.
