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?

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.

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. He has resurrected!!!

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.

Interesting schedule this year in the MVFC with who plays and who does not play. Looking at rest of season SDSU--assume they will go 11-0 USD--6-1 now, probably have 1 W and 1 L on their schedule so 7-2 with tossups with game at SIU and UND at home UNI--4-3 now. have 1 W on schedule so 5-3 with 3 tossups games left, at Illinois State, at Missouri State and NDSU at home YSU--4-3 now. 3 W's on schedule and 1 L...so 7-4 UND--4-3 now. 2 W's on schedule so 6-3 with games at USD and Illinois State at home NDSU 5-2 now. 1 W and 1L on schedule so 6-3 with home game against SIU and road game at UNI SIU--5-2 now. 2 W's on schedule. So 7-2 USD at home and at NDSU Illinois State--4-3 now 1 W on schdule so 5-3 with home game with UNI, road game at Missouri State and finish at UND Missouri State--3-4 with 2 L's on schedule so 3-6 but could spoil Illinois State's and UNI's seasons as they have them both at home. SDSU with 11 wins and I count 3 teams that should easily get to 7 wins plus NDSU and UND should be able to get there as well. That is potentially 6 teams making their case and IF SIU beats USD and they beat us, that is two teams at 8.......we might be in the playoffs(1 and done) right now.

UNI, meanwhile, has the second lowest budget in the Valley ahead of only WIU who is leaving the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
