I thought the same thing!

Motzko knows the rules on equipment failures how to handle it, stop with the "forced" crap. He could have used his timeout, but he gambled and it didn't work out. Every fan base uses the same kind of excuse when their team blows a lead (our fans have done it) but the fact remains, they were up 2 goals and their piss poor play allowed UMASS to come back. There was no reason for the Gophers to lift their foot off the gas at all, they had that game won but choice to play prevent. The non tripping call was not the reason they lost in the first place. Honestly, it also looked like the lost more of an edge than getting tripped.

What is really being hidden? Do tell!

I would consider that a short leash for UNDs standards. That gives you time to get your players and implement your style of play. you are correct, we shouldn’t expect much next year, no matter who’s our coach.

I have a hard time believing that Chaves or other higher ups were clueless when they brought Miller in. Unless the coaching staff deliberately hid that but I really doubt it.

I agree that WHOEVER it is, they should get a short leash but I would hope the AD (and whoever else) sets out a strict plan on what we should expect to see from year to year. My thought is at least 3 or 4 years. Gives them time to get settled and get THEIR players.

Not surprised if it is him coming to town. He has a lot of good friends that still live in the grand forks area.

Short leash? Two years? That isn’t exactly giving one enough time. He doesn’t even have a starting goalie. If you’re giving him a short leash, then I’m afraid we will be portal shopping regularly. So I ask you, what do you want? Do you want a foundation laid from good recruiting or do you want to be known as a portal shopping school every year?

what a dumpster fire of an organization. What number coach is this since Haks days?

You have no idea who has applied for this job, none of us do. so just sit here and guess like the rest of us couches gm’s. Also, Hakstol never won anything and by your “standards” he never should have been considered for the job. So calm down and let us all pretend like we have a say in the matter.

We won’t know because I’m sure they are doing it like they did for football. North Dakota’s open law records would allow everyone to know who applied if they actually put in their application. My guess is, they are vetting everyone before they apply and then when they find the one they want, that person will apply.

This was covered awhile ago but UND will pay out the rest of his standard contract, which is $400k+.

I can’t see in any scenario where Karl is retained, Dillion on the other hand is questionable but my gut says no. He needs to bring in “his” guys. also, if the new HC wins a natty next year, are we going to give credit to Berry like we have to Hakstol?

who do you think did the recruiting under Blais and Hak?

Where have you been for the past 19 years?

Wasn't this the same owner that we discussed on here around the time they were looking for a new head football coach?

Is Duluth really falling though? If we are going to take the past 10 years of Berry's time here let's at least compare the last 10 years of Duluth. They are 3 years removed from a regional final and 4 years removed from a FF birth and had a high probability of being the first team to 3 peat the year covid shut us down. I don't think the wheels are falling off as fast as they have at UND.

Been to Ann Arbor many a times as I have family out there. Very nice city and UofM campus is very nice.

forget Vigen, what about Kalen Deboer...

Wife and daughters live in Vegas, so I am assuming he rents a small apartment in Grand Forks.

Yea the school is great and so are the facilities but getting them to understand what North Dakota is really about take a special individual. I am not saying we can't do it because we sure have shown in the past that we can, but it takes the right coach to be able to sell that. Bringing in someone that hasn't been to Grand Forks and expecting them to sell it to a player is going to be hard thing.

Karl

It's hard and it's even harder when one of your staff members doesn't even have a permanent home with his family in Grand Forks.

True but we all know he was fired. 3 straight years of 7/8th place and first round wcha knockouts were not cutting it and they made the move before it got worse. You probably remember this, but you couldn't give tickets away those final three years of his time here.
