Do you think there is something going on with Strinden? His game seems off.

If they achieved all that I would think it deserves a multi year extension. I agree that right now Chaves needs to go and Sather’s future is up in the air, but what do you think the expectations should be at UND and why?

I don’t disagree that the coaching needs to be better but Ndsu had more talent.

Maybe the rest of the coaches too? All our programs stink right now.

Agreed to an extent, but why is every sport bad? Is UND just a bad place for coaches to recruit? Or is this a cultural thing in the athletic department? When every sport is struggling you have to wonder.

Perhaps not a popular opinion: but what if the big issue isn’t Sather? Look around the department- every sport is bad and some of these coaches have been successful prior to UND. When every sport is struggling I think you need to look at the leadership of the department.

When would he likely leave for the NHL?

Sounds like the writing is on the wall for Stevens this Softball season. On a more positive note the additions to the Pollard look great from the outside. Once finished it will be a nice setup in that part of campus.

Been practicing hitting the pipes.

The atmosphere at The Berry was almost non existent again today. Hard to make some noise when there isn’t a lot to cheer for.

St Thomas are toying with us.

We are better when we don’t play.

That was a painful half

If there are indeed the finalists we hired the weakest.

Chaves doesn't care about a soccer hire. I don't think coaches are lining up to coach soccer in Grand Forks either so this might have been the only option.

Yes. For the department to really change fortunes new leadership is really needed.

I think Schmidt would be great for the program but what are the chances he would be interested?

https://gojacks.com/facilities/fishback-soccer-park/5 Looks like a legit soccer complex. Seems like UND has a long way to go to match the other Dakota schools with a soccer facility. Big question is- should UND even be investing in soccer when the sports the fan base cares more about are really struggling? Should't the money go to those sports? The needle isn't being moved at UND regardless of how soccer does. I think more people would be happy if we push more funding into making sure we get the right football coach than in upgrading a bad soccer facility.

Now we just need Chaves out.

Who would you play in the top two lines together?

The grass does look nice. The rest of the facility sucks though when you drive to Columbia you would think it is an intramural filed not a D1 complex. How does it compare to other soccer complexes in the Summit?

This is a terrible drive home especially after that performance.

Is this Chaves saving himself or does he go down with this ship for giving Bubba an extension in the first place? I have still heard it isn't Bubba who is being fired bit if it true is the AD gone?

Are you sure? I heard he was firing the DC.

I am wondering why the softball coach still has a job too. I can see why a coach is trying to argue their job since the consistency at UND has been coaching renewals, but as I said earlier I hope this process turns into Chaves and his posse getting canned then we can bring in a new AD that can transform the entire culture and we can have some sports that win.
