If we didn’t have a QB decommit right before signing day he wouldn’t be in the program. He became the starting QB be default as our QB room was so bad. I sure hope he is not back next year as we seem to have a pretty good room right now. I know he gets credit for being calm and composed but he just looks lost to me. But Walter Payton?? But school records?? But posters with vendettas against him?? How is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to establish a Division I funding model that doesn't rely so much on 50/50 raffles and selling tickets to walk-up crowds on game day. No, never accept mediocrity BUT the coaches coach and someone else needs to do PR and media. I do like their recent FB posts for the hype in the community. Is there no one on payroll or volunteers to do OR and marketing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forksandspoons Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Haven’t read the previous comments, but here is what I observed yesterday: - UNI turf has to be the oldest in the country; the type of turf you wear basketball shoes on. Just an observation - we need to simplify the offensive play calling on the road; when you’re out of a rhythm get back to the basics - missed FG was brutal - punting was not good - this is the most frustrating part: down 17-0, with 40+ seconds left in the half, on 3rd and 18 for UNI in their own territory, while having 3 timeouts, we decide to let them run the clock out into the half. WTF?!?!? could have at least tried for a blocked punt, or ANYTHING to get some momentum. That was the low point in the game for me. Unreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not however make last week "irrelevant". Bubba didn't earn himself a "lifetime contract" either. Danny was promoted to associate head coach for a reason. Change is coming. Danny’s offense scoring ZERO points is why UND lost that game. The loss is just as much on Danny as it is Bubba. Defense got zero help this game 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is: is UND willing to pay what it takes to get a quality, experience head coach and then follow up with all the $$$ to promote the team? I mean, the history of paying minimal $$$ for all inexperienced coaches several years ago should be fresh in the minds of administration. Until there is a $$$ commitment, we should support Bubba not ax him. I am sure the time commitment and steer makes many coaches wonder….many jobs are like that. I think you missed the point here. I’m not advocating for Dale to leave his position with the State Historical Society, but I am advocating for new leadership like what Dale brings to the table. Bubba just doesn’t have it. Nice guy, wish him the best, but my sources extend well beyond the numerous road debacles we witness on the field/television. Time to move on, several others agree, but I don’t know if the actual people making the decisions agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well he and Bubba have had that opportunity for years, so whose fault is it? There are plenty of QBs on the roster. With that said, need to be cautious because everyone always loves the back up QB until they actually go out there and play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 2 hours ago, Big Green said: If not going to say the NDSU game is meaningless, but sure has the chance to be. All the win did was set us up to be the best team in the state and a national championship contender. If we finish 7-4 and lose in the 1st or 2nd round we have not really gotten anywhere. In the mean time if NDSU gets to 8-3, which I think they will and makes a run in the playoffs we are stuck in the same place. Right now last week seems like a fluke. We need to finish the year ahead of Ndsu or the win is meaningless. Either a fluke or a major missed opportunity, both inexcusable. This coaching staff / program is so frustrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kab Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I’m sure Indiana state is breaking down our film and will know every weakness we have and will attack those areas wont be easy to win against them not sure how our coaches will attack the next game there will be some head scratching calls we have to be the worst team at making in game or any adjustments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to move on, several others agree, but I don’t know if the actual people making the decisions agree. See my second post clarifying the statement. YOU missed the point. People who know more than me can evaluate coaches and rehire/replace. My point is that a first class, successful team needs MORE than coaching (but coaching comes first). The PER, media, fundraising and role in the community is a package deal we seem to be missing. It is very hard/impossible to focus on that after watching the game yesterday. But the program needs help. Start with coaching (the most important) but that is not all we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation 6 years is the oldest in the country? Because of the constraints of their facility, UNI chose to go with the non-infill version of the same turf that's in the Fargodome and Dakotadome. Instead of PVC infill on top of the base layer, they went with a PVC pad under the base layer. They tried an infill turf last time and it was a complete disaster for them.

UNDTIM20 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 When Ziebarth went out of the game their run game was non existent. It is very clear what he means to this offense. Just my opinion. Both in the run game and pass game. And I’m talking about his pass protection. I’m also curious why Tommy played in the 4th? He clearly wasn’t getting the job done.
