I think a lot of people are worried that it is just going to be more of the same with Jax. I am a bit surprised how many people are less than pleased with the hire. Jax has to change things up otherwise it’s going to be a short tenure.
Agree...3 years and he's gone if things don't turn around.

I am guessing the player support was a big reason they picked Jackson
That's disappointing.

That could be true. KEM could have done the same. Who knows. Something that I have been thinking about and I don’t know what the right answer is. When do you release a college hockey coach and have the time to make the best hire? It’s not right that the portal opens before the tournament is over. You don’t have the time unless you already made your decision before the end of the season who is going to be the replacement. It sucks.
Agree 100%

Karl needs to go. How can you expect players to live in grand forks when you and your family don’t
Karl lives in El Forko Grande...his family doesn't but OK.

Hopefully my generous donation to the 1883 Collective can help with that.
I'll tell Holth to route my cash directly to Sacha, Dylan, Jake, and Jayden. Ha!Well you might want to hold off on Jayden...

Okay I'm thinking Chaves was bullied into giving HC to Jax by the players.
So you're saying the players of a 5th place team bullied the University into hiring the assistant of a coach who was just fired?
Goddammit, you just can't make it up.

They use everything as a slur. How many times did I hear Sioux suck, or Sue this, or something of the sort.
Yeah, well eff them anyway...they lost about 5 guys to the pros already.

Either he has a change of heart or if he already knows where he is going, he could wait until the last day to enter the portal...it wouldn't matter.
According to this forum he's gonna get $100k from Michigan...why aren't his effin' bags packed already?

Never liked it. Gopher fans use it like a slur.

Time will tell if this is the right choice. But will he promote the Fighting Hawks or just say North Dakota hockey. The hockey program needs to move on.
I'm not a betting man but I'm guessing it will be Fighting Sioux only for a bit longer.

That's just the finalists list, not everyone that applied.
True, but the qualifications for the job were pretty "green"...

Well they needed to have und ties....
So much for the exhaustive national search.

He knows the expectations are right away, if it's more of the same in 4 years UND will be doing this again and better look outside the family.
Nah, just hire his assistant...

>Jackson was chosen from a finalist field that included Matt Smaby, Jason Herter and Nick Fohr.
From the press release
Seems like a pretty short list for such a prestigious job...

Who’s going to be Dane’s new assistant?
I'd like to see some guys outside the UND circle get hired. Maybe Peter Mannino? Also, wonder if they bring in Chyzyk for a GM type role. We need to recruit Canada HARD!

Interesting. Coaches never seemed to use him properly.
If true, wonder if he'll take off under Naurato or not. Whitelaw didn't but that's partially a product of Michigan being mediocre af.
Maybe not used properly but definitely needs to get stronger on the puck.

How would they know that? It almost never ever happens after a coach is fired
Yeah, I’m not buying any of that.
