Bubba has 3 years left on his contract. What’s the buyout?  I don’t even care how much it is. Have to do it. Bubba has been here over a decade and has 1 playoff win. Unacceptable. Chaves needs to sit him down at the end of the season and give him a chance to resign. If he doesn’t you have to let him go. Don’t let him get away with firing the DC. There has been one common factor throughout these 11 years. And that is Bubba. Time to move on. 

Been discussed a lot on here, 750k then and more to search and hire, cool 1 mil, thanks for pitching in.

There is no incentive for Bubba to resign. Don’t give me the “love for UND” argument.

Im guessing he’s like most men; he loves his wife and family more. Who would give up a nice payout given to you by your boss?

I wonder what his wife thinks. It’s gotta be tough knowing that your spouse is publicly garbage at their job

Agreed, unfortunately. Other than age and wanting to have less stress in your life. Maybe he has a coming to moment like the UNI coach (doubtful). We’re stuck

Generally agree.. I also think most people don’t stand in front of an interviewer telling that person and community how much they love their job and company. And I actually do think bubba really loves UND football and I think he is embarrassed at being the 4th best team in the dakotas and it not being particularly close. 

In reality this one is totally on the AD.. the last extension was totally unnecessary and incompetent.

Some things are more important than money...  I doubt Bubba would need to work at Valley Dairy if the coaching gig craps out.  But a health problem from stress can make a person question if chasing franklins is a wise path.

The incentive is he is 62 and its time to retire

Did he have a $750 buyout?

I mean if he was fired, which I’m sure he would have been, I’d imagine his buyout was a decent amount. I bet there still may have been some sort of financial settlement between the two parties.

I have no idea why Bubba’s contract was extended.
You point out the obvious problem to making a change: money.  The folks who seem to be demanding a change, aren’t willing or able pony to up $1 million. (One guy who claims to be “retired independently wealthy “ demands a change but isn’t listed as ever giving a substantial donation to UND.
 There are many more who are frustrated with the lack of success but don’t want to throw money at a contract buyout.

Can we slide bubba over to alumni foundation and have them pay his salary?

No.  None of them are making that kind of money.

He doesn’t deserve that, force him out and get his keys

SD won despite having 132 yards of penalties to 55 for und.  They also lost the TO battle …one to zero. Home game for und. SD played an ok game. If these two teams played 10 times …SD wins 9 all day long. More than likely 10 but giving und benefit of doubt for one game ?   
 

Und is not in the same ballpark with the other Dakota schools.  Und has to have every thing go just exactly right to be competitive.  Today …Und had nearly all the intangibles in their favor and still failed. 
 


Told my wife today …..I need to think of something positive with und football.  It’s  been too many years of Americas funniest football in grand forks.   It then occurred to me … if you’re a young individual that aspires to become a head coach at one point in your life ….please watch bubba and do the exact opposite.  That’s as positive as can get.

Bubba only cares about Bubba. Wish UND had a coach that cared about the University like Farley. 

Bubba is the worst thing to ever happen to the athletic department. 

Agreed.  Very selfish at this point.  Accepting big money for zero expectations.

I know you have mentioned that numerous times about no one willing to ponie up …..but we weren’t/arent the problem.   Bubba plateaued years ago and still gets extended.  Does that fall on the alum and fans to right the ship ?  That mistake fall solely on the AD.  Now we have bail him out ?

Good point

I don’t agree with this, but he does seem incapable of recognizing the situation.

I'm just really disappointed for our guys," UND coach Bubba Schweigert said. "Their dreams were shattered today because we really felt for the win today that our playoff hopes were alive yet going into our last week, and that didn't happen."

Playoffs?
