If Dane is hired, how is that crapping the bed? Look, we all want what's best for UND but none of us are truly "in the know" of what goes on and how to lead a program. Could the longtime assistant finally get his chance to show the world what he can do as a head coach or does an outside coach come in and totally fumble the ball and drags the program down?

I think why people will be disappointed if it is Dane isn't necessarily that its him but the fact that this job hasn't had a national search 30 plus years and the fans want a fresh set of eyes to lead the program. If it is Dane Jackson that is hired, I wish him the best of luck and will support him. Same with anyone else that is brought in. It is a sad time at the moment but it is also an exciting time to be a UND hockey fan.

woah...stop the press. gfhockey didn't have the inside scoop?!

It's an outlier but LSU did it with Coach Ed Orgeron.

I understand what you are saying and I agree with you. Hiring Hak or Dane is the "safe" bet that Chaves can make, but will he? This hire will make or break Chaves's time here at UND, hockey is THE sport that UND has and cannot miss on this. Will he take the safe bet and hire from within, or will he gamble and hire a younger coach that is moving through the ranks? I will say this though, no matter what happens, I do feel that Karl's time here at UND should be done also. I'm not sure why he has gotten a pass as long as he has (lets be real, it's because he is family) as he was brought here with the hopes of developing goalies and various of other reasons.

I was thinking Coach Reilly. He sure knew how to get those blue chip players, even if that meant breaking district line rules.

Don't you know that all sources come out of Judy's

But according to @siouxboys he doesn't have any experience. At the end of the day, we can as fans can wish for whoever. It is time for a new voice, and I am putting a lot of faith in Chaves to find the right individuals.

In all your babble, you never mentioned any names. If you are referring to Smaby and CSC, they have recruiting, player development and coaching experience. Does that necessarily translate to automatic success, no it does not. However, it does bring a whole new way of thinking to a program that has been treading water for some time now. It's not an obscene way of thinking; you're too much of a dolt to understand that.

Chaves didn't hire Sweigert of Berry.

Same can be said about all of us fans. We are not 100% sure on what the program needs either. We can throw out ideas on who we want but at the end of the day, they are our opinions and nothing else.

But Berry and crew didn't develop T.J., he was a portal goalie with D1 experience already.

Lots will "apply", it will be the same process that was done for football.

Are you being serious or are you that dumb?

As much as I hate McFeely, he is right. He isn’t one to brush something under the rug and I have to give that to him.

Look at that 2011-2012 team. Injuries depleted them all season long but they won the wcha tournament. Mind you, their captain at the time was what a UND captain should be. That’s what made Hakstol a good coach, getting 110% out of all his players.

Berry will get his full 400k+ salary but I’m not so sure about Mallory since she “stepped” down

1st order of business. How not to get stuck in an elevator with an opposing team player when you have to take a piss.

Ya, you could cross about 3/4 of those names off the list. This is typical Schlossman "reporting".

Greene has been silently working in scouting and player development for the kings since he was bought out of his contract. As much as I'd like to see him come coach, he just doesn't have the time built up and IF hired, he will be destined for failure (not from his own doings either). Jeff Blashill is an interesting candidate that has had his name thrown around though.

I don't think it excludes him like we would think. It just means that he will have to go through the process like anyone else, nothing wrong with that and I actually find that to be a more thorough way of vetting the next coach. This is a make or break hire for Chaves, so he has to nail it. If Dane is the guy, so be it but at least Chaves left no stone unturned.

You are probably way to young to know, so I'll give you a pass.

If that were the case, no one would be available except for retreads (Hak, Jackson, Karl, etc.). The game has changed and it starts with finding a talented young coach(s) that can get out and recruit/relate to these young players.

1. he isn't coaching in Fargo, Brett Skinner is the coach. 2. if you haven't heard by now, it's no use in explaining it to you.
