Popular Post Siouxperfan7 Posted November 17 Popular Post Share Posted November 17 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been discussed a lot on here, 750k then and more to search and hire, cool 1 mil, thanks for pitching in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s gotta be tough knowing that your spouse is publicly garbage at their job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than age and wanting to have less stress in your life. Maybe he has a coming to moment like the UNI coach (doubtful).

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? 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 7 minutes ago, gfhockey said: Can we slide bubba over to alumni foundation and have them pay his salary? No. None of them are making that kind of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 This sucks. Last winter we had a coach who doesn’t know when to quit and an AD that doesn’t know when to make him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longtime fan Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba is the worst thing to ever happen to the athletic department. Agreed. Very selfish at this point. Accepting big money for zero expectations.

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 ? 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND1983 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 “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?
