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

Hurts was the starter 2016 and 2017.  That’s not a backup.  
 

As I stated ….he transferred because Tua was out performing him.

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

 

You think und is the only team that loses players to transfers   Cmon man.

He's being sarcastic. You have officially tripled down on missing the point.

[shep]

There's plenty of sentiment from 97 bike rider and his numerous alter egos and the other usual suspects that the reason players leave UND is only due to the coaches.

Meanwhile other teams lose their players because they want to get more playing time, get NIL dollars or move up from FCS to FBS.

I wouldn’t say he is undersized. He was the best DE we had on the team. The defense wasn’t playing well since he got hurt. This one will have a huge effect on next year unfortunately.

I agree on him being our best but he is listed at 6’3” 245lbs.    That is extremely light for a D End. Again he made up for it.  

245 is the size our LB’s should be..

He had 13 sacks in 30 games. 

I liked him, he worked hard, talked to him at a BB game, he was kind enough to chat and seemed very mature and intelligent, but we need bigger and faster players.

Why couldn’t coaches be a reason? We were just talking in the basketball forum today about how DAE transferred out because of…. coaches

Sarcasm.  No sh&$ Sherlock.  There is no way to spin his defending bubba.  Players see it. Fans see it.  You and a few others on here are blinded that we have a saban.  ( sarcasm) Bubba is not head coach material.     Bubba can’t be defended anymore .  Yet you defend any and every opposition angle.  Why defend average so hard  ??    You are simply missing the point.   Try and back up your big mouth with any kind of stat , fact or reason why he should continue to be head coach..  I and others have laid stats and reasons why he isn’t coach worthy on this site.  You on the other hand are constantly telling people they are missing the  point.  Give me something to ponder.

You still don't get it. I'm more than ready for Bubba to move on. I, and others, are saying the transfer portal is not a good excuse to move on from him because every coach in the country (including Saban) is dealing with it. I'm only telling you that you're missing the point. Maybe go back and read the entire conversation again.

I’m not defending anyone but there has yet to be a player that left that truly surprises me. 
 

These are all my opinions- Two of them are going to get paid and have a chance at playing a higher level of football.  One I believe the coaches had a difficult conversation and were honest with a player.  One will transfer and likely not get as much playing time as he got here.

Get what? That it's time to move on from Bubba? Most of us agree! Seriously, go back and read everything before you post again. It will help tremendously! 

Have a good night!

What level will McNaboe play at?

Again only my opinion- I think he’s an impact player in the Mountain West conference.  Could see some bigger opportunities but the injury doesn’t help him

Talked to his dad at tailgating and he told me he needs surgery.

I'm guessing St. Thomas as it's close to home for him.

I immediately thought of them as well. Wish him the absolute best regardless though.

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.

But every playoff win NDSU gets helps with recruiting.   Whether we want to admit it or not, Bubba's lack of playoff wins hurts us.   This is what is most disappointing about Bubba is the lone win over Missery State.   That speaks volumes.

Your opinions are wrong.

Isn't St Thomas non-scholly? Also not playoff eligible? I suppose if they have a grad program he wants then it might be a good fit, but if you can get some of that paid for, I'd be looking elsewhere.  Though maybe money isn't in the equation. Certainly a good program and good school.

Did we play any teams this year with a poor QB in need of replacement?

Probably! but we also probably made them look like all stars. 

Is Theo Day graduating? Not sure what UNI has lined up behind him. Not saying Tommy is going to UNI, but I could see that type of scenario working out. And a team like that where there is a good O-line and some play makers, he would probably fit right in. 

For all those who couldn't wait to see Tommy gone, I also wouldn't want to see him on the other side of the field either. Especially if the coach knows how to call plays to fit his strengths.
