Our pain will only intensify if (when) NDSU pulls out another playoff upset in Bozeman …

If some NDSU fans are spending their Friday night reading our forums that is pretty sad

It wouldn’t surprise me.

This all hurts.

 Still will always look forward to UND football. 
 

waiting for that year

If you just look at player development over their career this coaching staff has failed miserably.  Quite a few underclassmen have looked great and by senior year they are just out there playing football for und.  I see it two ways.  Either they weren’t talented to begin with or they fell into bubbas complacency bubble.  I say it’s bubbas bubble.  

This years game against Ndsu  is enough proof.  They can play with anybody when influenced by outsiders. Players need that “speech”. I would assume bubbas speeches are very similar to his pre game, half time and post game interviews.  Stale and boring. They need to feel the want to succeed. Bubba can’t “ignite”.  
 

If I had to say in one word how to describe this coaching staff it’s STALE

Submitted to quick 

 

 

Was going to end with ….the reason I believe most players transfer is the connection to the coach. Any sport any level any state.  Transfers are happening everywhere and it’s sickening.   At und …if I had to guess most feel bubba is a second dad. He is genuine and a great guy that will look out for them. You love guy but he just isn’t helping you succeed on the field.  He doesn’t have ability to get the most out of his players. That would lead to some transferring IMO.

Until they can figure out how to avoid getting their a$$es kicked by SDSU for the 3rd time this calendar year, it won't matter in the long run anyway.

In short: Bubba is too old.
 

Need somebody half his age that the players actually want to listen to. A coach that can relate to players and know how to motivate them. 

Not necessarily.  Saban is 11 years older than bubba.  Saban has “it”. He can motivate and demands excellence. Bubba doesn’t.  He’s stale.  He’s boring.  Doesn’t exude any confidence.  Players respond accordingly

More personality than age imo. But I get what you’re saying

Somebody on here compared Bubba to Eeyore. I think there is some validity to that.

Saban has never lost anyone in the transfer portal.

Guessing the special teams coordinator called it.  

In that situation?   Then the head coach should have been replaced the next day.

Bubba called out his own ineptitude when he said he wishes Dale Lennon could speak to team before every game.

His point is that bubba and saban are on equal ?  
 

I said…IMO….players leave und because of coachingz. Bubba doesn’t better them on the field.  Saban does. 
 

Jalen hurts transferred because Tua was out performing him. 
 

McNaboe transferring is not because someone is out performing him.  He would have started next season. 
 

Is that why  you piped in? To say there is no difference between the two ?

Wait is this some kind of revisionist History?  He absolutely lost his job to Tua Tagovailoa and only got it back after an injury.

No, his point was that every coach in college football is having to deal with the transfer portal. Go after the coaches for decisions they make and what not, but going after them because players are transferring makes no sense. Even Saban has to deal with it. Nobody is comparing the two of them.

What if he left because he’s better built to play DE in a 4-3?

What if he left cause of NIL?

it’s unfortunate UND is the only team to lose starting players to the transfer portal
