Are you proposing a Sioux hockey coach version of John Calipari? Just hang banners in the rafters, coach, we don't care how it gets done.
-
Now you want Hak canned because BU lost to Harvard? LOL!
-
Exactly who I thought you would point out. Had Hakstol won the 2005 NCAA title, this thread would STILL be blowing up right now for his inability to win another one since then. I hope Kentucky fans enjoyed the Billy Gillispie years and cry bitter tears once the NCAA reaper takes down Calipari's banner from the rafters at Rupp Arena. Florida sealed Tubby's fate in 2006 and 2007. Hak would already be gone had Minnesota won back to back NCAA titles in the past two years.

Seems to me coaching changes happen at Kentucky for one of two reasons: The NCAA violations hammer Missing the NCAA tournament Which criteria has Hakstol met in his 9 year tenure?
-
Because the team that's favored every year should win the title every time, right? Cough, cough, 1980 Soviet Union (men's Olympic hockey)...1983 Houston Cougars (men's basketball)...1985 Georgetown Hoyas (men's basketball)...cough, cough, 1997 Michigan Wolverines (ice hockey)...cough, cough, 2004 LA Lakers (NBA)...2014 Denver Broncos (NFL)...

Kentucky NCAA titles: 1948, 1949, 1951, 1958, 1978, 1996, 1998, 2012 UNC NCAA titles: 1924, 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005, 2009 Sioux NCAA hockey titles: 1959, 1963, 1980, 1982, 1987, 1997, 2000 Those are interesting title year statistics. UND's due.

I wouldn't exactly call a 9-year season average of 26 wins, 13 losses, and 4 ties a sign that Hakstol is running the program into the ground. Hakstol has done everything but win an NCAA title with the Sioux...I sure hope he wins one...and soon.

Yea, Brian was cute, but in my son's eyes, he's totally tainted forever. It'd be like Wilbur's two-year old catching the episode of Thomas the Train where Sir Toppemhat busts all the steam engines smoking pot inside Gordon's shed.

Good call. What happened was unfortunate - and let's leave it at that.

My then-four year old son loved it too. Always referred to the show as "Brian the puppy." We watched it together until the 2004 or 2005 season premiere where Brian stubbed his toe or something and yelled "son-of-bitch" about 30 seconds into the show. TV off. My son's impression of Brian the puppy ruined forever.
-
So you agree with the assessment that 5-7 more seasons of 25-30 wins with no NCAA title(s) shouldn't be reason enough to start a national coaching search?
-
There is. And out of respect for what Cary Eades did for Fighting Sioux hockey over the course of his time as a player and a coach at UND, it hasn't been discussed on this board. And hopefully, it never will.

Dean Blais?

Some days the Sioux are gonna get to eat the dog. Some days, the dog's gonna get to eat us.

Gotta have 'em. No overtime win, no shoot-out win, just a straight up sweep followed by the traditional circle of sticks. Period. Anything else is...wait for it... wait... just a bit more... unacceptable.

Fixed your post.

Indeed he was. It's obvious now when you look at the Gino-era decline...
-
I remember lots of fans BLASTING the hiring of Blais. A former Gopher player? A high school coach? Are they nuts?
-
I was giving Penn State props for shutting out Michigan.
-
Don't be ridiculous...fifteen to twent, er, forty five to fifty bucks tops. Each.

They played on Jan 25th and PSU lost 3-2 to the Eagles
-
I would have preferred a win against BC...
-
Yea! And they'll never take the Dodgers away from Brooklyn! 1990-1992...I'd bet 3,000 on a GOOD night at old Engelstad.
-
Because then, we can hire a coach on a two-year contract basis only and demand a national title or else we move on to the next guy. We, the fans, demand it! Why else do we sit in leather seats drinking $10 beers and eating $8 mediocre pizza?
