Are 5 of those 26 wins over D2/NAIA, in Greeley?
If so, of the 21 actual D1 wins, were 18 against teams who finished the season with losing records?
Have we also lost twice to D2 teams--at home in Greeley--during this time (Lindenwood and CSU-Pueblo)?

Yeah I count them all, I figure the D2 wins and *sigh* losses balance out with the FBS games we play. It's pretty horrific if you keep breaking out down to the core. The fact his conference record is somehow worse than his overall record is shockingly horrific.
A bit dated but this article from 2017 on Weber States coach getting a raise is interesting:
https://www.standard.net/sports/weber-state/new-weber-state-contract-makes-jay-hill-highest-paid-big/article_724e484b-873e-5978-a862-e639dc55fc28.html
It includes other Big Sky HC salaries including guaranteed bonuses:
•Cal Poly’s Tim Walsh — $229,000
•Montana’s Bobby Hauck — $205,000
•North Dakota’s Bubba Schweigert — $185,000 that increases to $225,000 in its final year
•Sacramento State’s Jody Sears — $187,000 (previous to a newly announced extension)
•Northern Arizona’s Jerome Souers — $185,000
•Eastern Washington’s Aaron Best — $180,000
•Idaho State’s Rob Phenicie — $85,000
For Collins, according to the Trib, his salary is $150k a year plus the following possible bonus (25k of which should be a slam dunk):
$15,000 for average home paid attendance of 4,500 per game, per season.
$10,000 bonus if his players’ annual academic performance is above 940 in the NCAA Academic Performance system.
If the UNC players achieve a team grade-point average of 2.85 or above after fall and spring semesters, Collins will be awarded a $2,500 bonus.
$10,000 bonus if the Bears record six or more victories in the regular season and an additional $1,000 for each victory above six in a regular season.
Winning or sharing the Big Sky Conference championship will earn Collins a $5,000 bonus and an additional $5,000 if he’s named Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year.
He’ll also receive an additional $5,000 if the Bears play two FBS opponents in a season.
Qualifying for an FCS playoff game is worth another $5,000.
The most lucrative bonus will be $20,000 for winning an FCS National Championship.

Interestingly enough there is a lot of buzz about this Head Coaching job among many Power 5 position coaches looking to get their first shot at a HC job. As a UNC football alumni and having worked with a few of these inquiring individuals personally, this is a huge opportunity for this program to turn things around with a young innovative mind.
YOU CAN WIN HERE. Its possible. Need a strong HC that wants to pound the pavement and recruit with his face, name and connections.
Academics are important, the ground work of academic culture is set, now you need to go get a few DUDES that need some guidance but can BALL.

We have gone over every compelling reason to fire Coach Collins to no avail so can we just fire him for fun ? This has gotten ridiculous.

Doesn't anyone from the UNC administration from the president to the athletic director to the coaching staff have a clue how to fix this mess. We are not even competitive in our losses. This game with Eastern was 40 -0 at half time. I could see if we lost by 14 or so it would look like we have a decent team, but to get blown out game after game tells a different story. Not only this year, but year after year. We need to do better, we want to be proud of our team and support UNC.

Is anyone in this school’s administration listening ? To keep going with this HC is insane. Do something for gods sake ! Fans are dropping like flies. This program could be so much more
