Absolutely. It pissed me off how we got 3 years of him and nothing to show for it.

Another one. Wonder who this is

What’s the ballpark of the amount we are paying guys right now or will in the next year or so?

If you go on the post of the recent hire you can see she liked some of the comments…

Chaves contract expires in June 2026. This hire probably gives him the best chance to stick around since Jax will be able to retain more than the other finalists with a better chance to be good in year 1.

I can’t wait until Sather is fired next season and Herbst is announced HC

I would assume and really hope he is cleaning house and putting a new staff together. Chaves probably was easy to convince but you would have to at least try to sell the fact you are trying to change things

Great listen. I’m really excited about the offense next year. Going to take a lot of work to turn this defense around, and Kelly seems to think it will take some time.

Still have to take a chance of some HS guys IMO. Sather should have decided which one of the Century guys he wanted more instead of taking both. 2 wasted roster spots

2 or 3 years ago it may have been more applicable haha. UND hockey could really use a Marcus Freeman type hire…

It can’t be that much right? I would think we could at least match it…

Former coach but Kirkwood to Wazzu Pawlak to Western Michigan as well

Any that were just graduated

Wasn’t saying that is what he should do here. Obviously you have to expand it at the D1 level.

My guess is it will be local focus with a couple portal additions to supplement. I’m guessing Demers will still be on roster and he will probably have to go get another big. I’ll also be curious to see if he runs a similar style as he did in Mayville.

Hutter did the same thing at Mayville. Most of the roster was ND or MN.

Although I know more about football and a bigger fan there, I have enjoyed reading this thread. Some good laughs. I think UND nailed the football hire but time will tell. An athletic department with football and hockey both doing well will be a great thing for this university and all us die hard fans.

We did get 3 good years of Eaglestaff, probably could have left after last year but made himself a lot of money I really don’t believe Josie will be making a bunch of money elsewhere. She should learn from Eaglestaff and develop here and transfer after year 2 or 3.

Agreed this should have happened a week ago at the latest.

I understand NDSU is the better program but kind of a lateral move. Does she not like Hutter?

Has Northern hired their coach yet?

So Sather survives one more year?
