  1. So you're going to get BOTH guys
  2. 👌
  3. Has he done much so far? Plus, seems like he had some eligibility issues? Or am I mistaken?
  4. Usually a press conference is held immediately when the new coach hits town. Since Jax is here, guessing every waking moment (and many of the rest) have been spent communicating with players (current or prospective), finalizing assistants, etc. No time for an earlier presser. No need to acknowledge recruiting shortcomings and throw shade at the previous coach. Just fix it, that's all.
  5. I guess that shows how good we are at speculation-based righteous indignation....
  6. IIRC Blais, when he left, said something to the effect of his thinking 10 years about about the expiration date in one place. Of course, that can be different for everyone. But from my own experience in business I know one can get comfortable in a job over time and as they get older. Not saying this applies to Berry. Just a plausible explanation.
  7. Guilty as charged! 😄 Thanks! I was reading thru this thread trying to remember his name and wondering if my memory was still accurate this many years later!
  8. Maybe we should just wait and see what he does and who he hires in the near future before we get too bent out of shape?
  9. This will help for next year
  10. Congrats Dane! Well earned.
  11. Thanks to whoever mentioned the Live in Five podcast with Jordan Schmaltz and Gage Ausmus. After listening I'm all in on giving Jackson a shot. They were clear that an assistant can change the tone of a program once they become head coach. Also, that Jackson is best positioned and committed to instill true Sioux hockey tradition in incoming players, and expect all players to live up to the expectations. They also said he's got the smarts to plan game strategy and make in-game adjustments. And let's not forget the guy has toiled away waiting for his chance. We'll never get anyone more committed. Does that guarantee success? No. But I would rather ride or die with that coach than an unknown from out of the area. Doesn't mean they couldn't be great. Just that's how I'd make my choice.
  12. ooo, that one I'd like to hear about!
  13. My impression as well. Remember, GF is a small town. If UND doesn't want to talk to Brad, there is no one else who will get any stories from them. It's not like there are 2 papers and a dozen reporters covering the team. UND sports reporting is critical to the health of the Herald. A healthy newspaper is a big deal for a community. I wouldn't think it would go over well in the newsroom if the Herald pissed off UND or a coaching staff unless it was really important information.
  14. Can make as much in 2 years in the NHL as 10 in college, probably. So why not?
