Couldn't agree more - a successful D1 coach with success in our conference and who has something to prove to the league's elite. Hire him tomorrow and be done with it.

Couldn't agree more

There is no team that goes into a shell with a lead more than we do - although a win is a win, we played like crap in the third

Got to say that I am plenty frustrated right now. I am really starting to hate the dump and chase especially on the power play. Now is the time for one of the ducky and bunny guys to come on and quote Red's record at Michigan. Not time for him to get fired, but certainly time for him to wake up.

Is there an easier guy in the country to scout than Hak? When St. Lawernce can come to your house and bottle you up there is something wrong. Get new talent or get a new system. If someone else quotes Red's record at Michigan I think I'm gonna puke.

Sounds like pretty much a whole team except receviers

Hogs and lots of them on both sides of the ball - The most frustrating thing watching the Sioux the last couple of years wasn't the losses for me - it was watching our lines used for traction

I don't think most frustrated posters want to fire Hak - a better title for this thread is "I wish Hak would stop being so stubborn and open things up" or "I wish Hak would go away from the chip, dump, chase, and cycle".

Ah, that's the question - can Hak change or is he addicted to chip chip dump dump chase chase cycle cycle? Even very sharp hockey minds can have a huge blind spot - seems everyone sees Hak's except him. I hope Brad Berry takes him aside and lets him know that there is anothe way to look at offense or it will be a long season.

If by demands you mean wanting a football team that doesn't give up 47 points in the first half to a conference rival, then I guess you are correct.

Based on Geaux_Sioux's assessment of the last two recruiting classes, I expect next year's team to be stocked with young studs and much more competative. Maybe a year or two away, but much better than this year.

You certainly have been hyping the last two recruiting classes - not saying you're wrong, but I then expect a foundation of young studs for the next coach to build on.

Winning championships is what made the Sioux program special under Gino and Blais - contrast that to someone who had a fantastic winning percentage and multiple tourney appearances - one Doug Woog.

Yes - nobody remembers second place - It's the difference between Blais and Woog.

Millers used to be my hangover place - greasy and delicious

Pointing out how our team has improved by quoting defensive statistics this year is like putting lipstick on a corpse.

How long has it been since we had a goalie that didn't give up a weak goal a game?

These are two really hapless teams.

That's what they do - actually, that's about all they do

I just don't see enough firepower with this group this year - I feel the defense will mold into a great group but I don't see a lot of scorers. I am also somewhat disappointed that we are in the second year of this goalie tandem and neither one has stepped foreward to be the guy (even though Gothberg seems to have the edge).

What power play? Saw them skate around for 2 minutes a couple of times but that's about it.

Wow - when did St. Cloud State get better than us?

Not to mention the traveling - one dribble from the center line? Pathetic - geared to the MTV generation - suspend the rules so we can get some giant slams for sports center. Players just want to get on the highlight reel.

I agree that Hockey is bigger, but I don't see it detracting from football at all. No hockey recruits are taken from the football team. One thing is certain - without hockey to go to the football program would get a lot more pressure to perform and win. Think things are bad now on the board, take away hockey and make football all we have this season and see how our 2 win season would play.

This is a good description of how you feel - don't agree, but I understand. However, your only solution to the mess we are in is "It's Faison's job to come up with the answers". Are you happy with the state of the once proud Sioux football team? How long should we continue to dig this hole? Many of us are worried about a 10 year black hole for the football team. We are very frustrated with the progress so far. I'd love to hear your ideas for improvement.
