    Dunbar resigns

    Reports that Dunbar is going to resign as offense coordinator at the U of M.
    Anybody around here ever heard of him?

    Or should this be posted on the where are they now thread?

        I wonder if he gets hired back by Northwestern or a school like Central Washington?

          Do you know him, Rob? He's not a bad guy and gets beat up on here much more than he deserves.

            I heard that Minnesota also lost the Defensive Cordinator Ted Roof as well.

                Well, he is the only coach in the last 25 years to not be successfull at UNI.

                  He may very well be a great guy, I don't know him.
                  GW Bush might be a great guy (to hang out with or whatnot) too, but I don't know him either.

                  Personally, I'm not fond of either of their performances in their respective jobs.

                      I know a couple of guys who played for him, and if you believe them Dunbar is the biggest jerk walking gods green earth.

                        Earl Bruce was worse going 5-6 in 1988. Didn't he just up and quit? Unusual that a coach would be fired after one year. I see he was coaching at CSU the very next year so they probably lured him away.

                        Talk about ending your career on a low note. He was 86-21 before coming to Cedar Falls, then went 27-30 at UNI and Colorado State.

                          And punched his players!!

                          I'll never forget the first game EB coached here... he ripped off his jacket about 3 plays into the game and threw a huge fit and my dad and knew he was in the wrong place. He didnt get fired but I beg you to find a person in the UNI family that was sad to see him go.

                          As for Dunbar... 29-13 folks. Let me repeat... 29-13.

                          To call him unsuccessful is about the most ill-informed post any of you could make... at any other but a handful of FCS schools he would be considered quite successful. 29-13 overall record... yeah, that's terrible. And I'm not a Dunbar fan. Sh!t man, to have followed UNI my whole life, going to all these great games under DM and TA and then to spend my 4 years of college missing the playoffs each year was heartbreaking... but it could have been worse.

                          My take on it, having had lots of friends on the team, players were indifferent to him. And I think that kind of carried over to the fans. He never seemed standoffish in any way but he never tried to endear himself to the community. And that was reflected in the Dome crowds... there was never any Dome magic, which you could probably argue has been worth on average maybe a win a year over and above the talent on the field. That's not a knock on the players... I just mean Dome magic seems to make the players rise up to a new level, and, conversely, without it we seemed to lose a lot of the close ones under Dunbar. The WIU 'championship' game comes to mind up front, and a McNeese St, Missouri St, and YSU games are in my head as well.

                            29-13 got Mike Dunbar to the playoffs exactly zero times. For a team that was used to going almost every year, that's not very good.

                              But he did manage to hang 77 on Wayne State NE on Senior Day. My hands hurt after that game from clapping to th fight song so much.
