It was all night against the Bison.

What concerns me is that our OC has shown he has absolutely no capacity to learn or change. If anything he's gotten worse over the last half of the season. The HC needs to have words with him.

Excellent analysis - however I'm not confident about any course corrections - our OC has not learned a thing throughout the season - if anything he's gotten worse. I don't see the lightbulb in his head going on anytime soon - and if our HC was going to change anything there it would have been done by now. A new OC is the only solution. Jerry has also regressed this season - not sure why or what the solution is. We are stuck with our kicking personnel and just have to hope for the best. I honestly thought one thing that would improve from Bubba's regime would be in-game play calling and management - but I was wrong. We pissed away 3 games against tough opponents that we should have won. We have fantastic defense - definitely an upgrade in both personnel and schemes from last year. Time for our HC to earn his paycheck and make some tough changes. We should be able to win the last two if we don't shoot ourselves in the foot again.

His first big challenge as Head Coach - will he do it or not?

Schmidt is currently only as good as his OC and Special Teams Coaches are during game time and that is not good enough. HIs hires - his responsibility.

After a night's sleep this loss burns even more - How many games can our OC lose for us? Coaching malpractice. I thought our in-game decisions would be much better this year but I was wrong.

No - Remember the very first game of the season?

If we are not looking for new OC and Special Teams coaches next year then we should be looking for 3 new coaches. Play calling and special teams play have cost us 3 games so far this year.

His body of work scream that he doesn't get it and never will.

Squarely on the coaches - again - first and goal on the two - 3 stupid calls and a missed fg - pound the rock you idiots - the third game pissed away by the coaching staff. Time to clean house again/ And against the Bison this one really burns. We need winners.

He should only be 30 miles from Vermillion by now.

First and goal on the two and nada - if UND isn't looking for two position coaches next year we should be looking for 3 coaches - no excuse and we have already pissed away two wins against top teams.

I feel like I've woken up from a dream that it was 2025 and discovered it was really UND Sport's 2024 season.

We need a ladder to climb out of the basement then - bonehead plays kill us again. Remember when we talked about getting back to Fighting Sioux hockey - and where is the vaunted defense - our All American is playing like he's the only player on the ice - again. I expected better from us.

Let's make them stand for something again

When we talked about going back to Old Time Sioux Hockey I thought we would go back further than one year. This crap is getting old. We'll see what the coaches and team are made of in the next two weeks.

Would you take his entire career?

For all the talk of our great defense and our new attitude we look like crap - no excuse. Not so sure we aren't looking at Berry 2.0

Not necessarily adjustments but things that really hurt us - of course Strinden's repeat penalties cost us - He should have sat, soft goaltending - the go-ahead goal and momentum changer was ultra soft and off his glove, our All- American defenseman actually playing defense, and a better power play all would have changed this game - we had no answer when the Gophers clogged the middle.

A really tough game to watch - I was (and still am) fired up about a new attitude with our team but this game was brutal - could not solve the Gophers schemes and made no adjustments, horrible power play, goalie let in some very weak goals, and veterans playing like rookies - things need to be fixed and right fast. Strinden should have been benched before the game ended. Extremely disappointed in how we played in a big rivalry game - We'll learn a lot about this team and staff in the next few weeks.

I was among those - when he came aboard I thought wow - this is the final piece we needed - a great goalie coach to go with the rest of our talent and great credentials to boot - However, I was really disappointed in his failure to develop a good goalie pipeline - It seemed like it would be an easy sell - be a goalie on a regular contender and work with a specialized coach - however for some reason this never developed - instead it was portal portal portal - In my opinion a failure on his part.

In my opinion he's cost us greatly so far this year - Head Coach needs to straighten this out

MInus the last two minutes of two games.

Look at the final series of both teams - Montana played hard and tight and shut us down - we played very loose and got worked. That's coaching.

This is the second road game we have pissed away - mainly by the coaches.
