Offense still hasn’t held up against top competition since 2019. There’s doubt, and they’re justified in my opinion. Who's crowning anybody? He said he trusts Danny more than some weirdo on a bike. 2 Quote

That was fairly early in Bubba era though....and even though we blew it....it looked like we were a playoff worthy team and we had progressed each year. 7 years or whatever later with being patient and waiting and now thinking we were about to make a splash we completely sh*t the bed and look like are are no further along than we were against Richmond. I don't think I even cursed yesterday.... because from the opening drive...we were never even in it. Quote
90siouxfan Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 I don't think tommy is going to take us "there"... I don't think bubba is going to take us "there".... I have hope in danny, and the QB room, but not high hopes... 1 Quote
GoodGood Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 I’m not completely off the Danny train yet. He has his moments where he’s a really good play caller and I think he has a lot of the attributes you would like in a young coach. He also has way too many head catching moments. I would like to see him call plays for a QB that can throw more than 5 yards down field before I’m completely off of him. 1 Quote

These coaches set their roster, and recruit their players. Let’s not act like the transfer portal and other options to optimize the QB room haven’t been there since 2019 when Freund took over as OC …… Quote
90siouxfan Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 True enough, but not like the coaches have first pick of the recruits, other schools do get a chance... Quote

The current roster shows the biggest at 235 (2 guys). Some of the DE's are at 245, also too small for FCS football. Also regarding the roster, it lists several players as Graduate, 5th year, and Seniors. Since covid messed things up, which of these players have eligibility available after this year? @gundy1124 and I have been beating this drum since 2017 1 Quote

Beauty of competition. Have to compete and out do their competition, both on the field and off the field (recruiting). They haven’t done that. Need to try new avenues. Trying the same thing over and over again hasn’t worked. Developing local high school talent isn’t the only way to go about this thing … Quote

See NDSU and Weber State last year. It’s been an issue for a while. At its core, a lot of recruiting issues, but also scheme and philosophy. This all falls back on Bubba. He’s failed. Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted October 2, 2023 Author Posted October 2, 2023 Do our defensive players have the frames to put on 15-30 pounds a piece? Quote

Crazy how we were so effective on offense to start the first half last year. Then it's like SDSU figured it out ...and since then....we haven't been able to do anything. I get SDSU has bigger and better athletes....but still it was very disappointing in offense once again yesterday. Quote

Think back to ~2018/2109, when the current teams were just getting formed via recruiting. how did Bubba and UND get boat-raced by Stieg and SDSU in recruiting and development? SDSU simply doing better is one thing, but this?? It’s just not acceptable now 5 years later. This is all on top of what NDSU has done to continuously embarrass UND head to head and in recruiting. Bubba needs to be held accountable. He’s failed. back in 2018/2019, after und went a pathetic 3-8 in 2017, everyone said just give Bubba another 5 years. Well here we are. Crushed. Quote

The only reason Tommy is here is because our former recruit bailed on us, so I actually don’t consider the Tommy situation a product of our “coaches own doing.” We’ve been able to make the best of that situation, but it appears to be coming to an end.

Kab Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Coaches don’t have to have a Covid player come back do they? Tommy coming back would be a hindrance to the QB room is there another QB coming in next year? 1 1 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 UND got slapped around in the trenches. Right now everything else is secondary. Quote

Although if they tell Tommy he likely won't be the starter next year, and might even be 3rd string.....and he accepts that role it wouldn't be a hindrance to have that kind of experience if the top 2 go down. It is going to be interesting though to see how all of that shakes out. Hope the coaches do what is best for ND football. Quote
Sioux94 Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Klein now with 2 nice one handed catches, he may need to start seeing the field more. Although I think he did get in a number of times yesterday. Hopefully he can continue to stay healthy. 1 Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted October 2, 2023 Author Posted October 2, 2023 It’s the coaches job to figure it out. Getting tired of same old same old 1 Quote

The event you’re referencing is when Cedric Case flipped to Texas State in 2019. Need to hold on to those commitments (coaches can take action to prevent that), but also, it’s been 4 years (I repeat, 4 years!) since then. There’s been numerous opportunities to get better QBs. Transfer portal? It’s a product of the coaches own doing. The idea that the coaches - who are in complete control of their own actions (or lack thereof) - are independent of the roster is ridiculous. Made best of the situation? Going 5-6 (2021) and 7-4 (2022) is not good. Schuster’s play in big games has been average at best. There’s been a false narrative that he’s been elite, when in fact, he’s been a game manager that avoids mistakes. Sounds like UND just rode with Schuster due to the situation described in 2019, produced middle of the road football, and most just went with it, not demanding excellence, as per usual with UND football. 1 Quote

Don't think the Case flip was some big loss. I believe he ended up transferring again to a D2 school in Missouri. 1 Quote

Exactly … Coaching staff need to better develop and utilize the quarterback position. That falls on the OC/QB coach, who for UND is the same person. 2 Quote
