I just don't see Bubba as the guy - we need someone proven at the DI level. His record with Lennon has been mediocre and I'm afraid that's what we would get here - not the disaster that was Muss, but not top level either.

Agree with most of the assessments - however, I think we are ignoring what I think could really bite us in the future. This is the worst team I have ever seen when playing with a 2 or 3 goal lead. It's like the prevent defense X 100. We go into a shell like nobody I have ever seen. But for the grace of God it could have been 3-2 with them having the momentum instead of 4-1. If that would have happened, I feel like the game would have been up for grabs. We see this play game after game. No killer mentality at all.

Because the expectation here is national championships - his two predecessors won them at the rate of 1 every 5-6 years. We are approaching the longest championship drought in UND hockey history. We want to get it done and so far Hak has not. This isn't to say that he hasn't had sucess or had good teams - he just hasn't done what many expect from Sioux hockey.

Bubba ain't the guy - We have a golden opportunity with Pflu - We need to get on track and soon

No, the Sioux Falls game was an embarrassment, this was funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6cxNR9ML8k

For some of the guys, it's a habit that is about 3 1/2 years in.

Agree - what's frustrating is that some guys haven't learned a lick of basketball sense in the last 4 years.

DeBoer isn't my favorite based on his lack of head coaching experience at a level higher than NAIA and his lack of success with Lennon. However, he was part of the biggest coaching mismatch I have ever seen when he brought his team here to take on Muss and the Sioux.

Couldn't agree more

I'd say disappointing too - not just because of the losses. We have guys who have played here for 4 years and still have no clue what their shot is.

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
