And frankly, that comes down to leadership, starting at the top. As I said in the season thread, I think Bubba is either (a) afraid to show up a friend's team on the road, or (b) fears the road and it comes out. Last 25 home: 23-2 Last 25 road: 6-19 1 Quote
Kab Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Giving up 24on the road isn’t bad not scoring on the road, well Danny why? you had the tapes , more than 1 running back in the stable to use , never see passes over the middle, we too slow? Quote
Oxbow6 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Road record of .333. That number will make you millions as a MLB player or give you job security as meteorologist. 3 Quote

What scheme is involved with an extra point that could possibly suck? The blocking schemes are pretty basic and are designed to prevent kicks from getting blocked. We haven't had any blocked. 1 Quote

We can probably count on one hand the number of passes completed where the ball was thrown further than 20 yards this season. Tommy 'The Cannon' Schuster! Quote
The Sicatoka Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Tommy can throw the 30+ pass. The offense is not designed for it. Why? Is it pass blocking, general philosophy, no 'create gap' WRs, but "arm" isn't the biggest concern in that list. 2 Quote

Amazing what can happen when you don't have to throw off your back foot with 2-3 guys breaking through before WR's have ran their routes. Not sure why the OL (and DL) were such a mess this week but that needs to be fixed immediately. The rest will take care of itself. 1 2 Quote

The legal stuff appeared to be socially and politically motivated to a degree. Not wise to have personal things on a work phone, but seems to be a winner. Yeah his legal stuff is a non issue. The NSIC isn't what it used to be either, however. If UND doesn't have the money to hire a current FCS coach, I think they should think long and hard before firing their coaching staff. I am a bit down on Danny's play calling this year, but if he were promoted to head coach, there's no reason UND couldn't hire someone from the outside as the new OC who could work with Danny to improve the offense even more. Hard to know who is responsible for UND's road struggles without having inside info as to what Danny and Bubba are thinking. Does Danny disagree with anything Bubba is doing for example? Who knows. How much say does Bubba have in respect to play calling and personnel? Freund clearly wasn't on board with Rudolph's philosophy, so, similarly, who's to say he wouldn't make changes if he were promoted to head coach? None of us know those answers. 2 Quote

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’re correct. If Danny had identified several changes he would like to implement if he were head coach, then you need to hire him, but you can’t promote him if the status quo will be carried forward. The problem is it is very easy to say you will make changes in order to just get promoted. It is hurtful to say but I think a new head coach from outside the current staff is the best answer here.
