Big difference between an assistant being listed for a potential head job compared to another head coach being listed publicly.

Certainly wasn’t my first choice. Disappointing to see like a UND/GF tie was requirement to be a finalist. No Barr or Raboin are disappointing but not sure they’d let it out if they were finalist due to effect on their current job. Hope for the best under Jackson but need to see a lot of change.

So I've seen some mention the applicant list and who applied, is the way a coaching search works at North Dakota different then many other places? Isn't a AD just able to target who they want and try to negotiate a deal with them without needing a pool of applicants. Like I know Minnesota fired basketball coach Ben Johnson on March 12th and by like 10AM March 13th Coyle had a deal with Niko Medved even though Colorado State just lost on Sunday. Couldn't Chaves call Barr and get a deal done and whenever Maine loses it is announced.

How about Ben Barr? Believe he is from Fairbault. Think he played at RPI. Really revived Maine.

Good guy, from my hometown originally and know his family well. Coulda had the Mankato job but opted to go with Hastings.

Some names of the top of my head and not necessarily all would be head coach guys but more so intrigued to have with the next staff. UND guys-Matt Smaby, Colten St. Clair, Bryn Chyzk Non-UND-Nick Fohr USNTDP(GF native), Garrett Raboin, Mike Hastings

Was hoping this move would be made but didn't have a lot of confidence in the athletic department, glad to see it come to fruition.

Dave Hakstol In all seriousness you have to be open to all avenues and while program ties are nice they certainly should not be a requirement.

Read a article about Mason West football/hockey decision. UND not listed among the 3 schools Notre Dame, Michigan State, and Wisconsin.

Solid 4-5 periods of hockey this weekend. Still need to find a way to win 2 more and I'd guess that will take at least 6 good periods this weekend.

That ref crew really struggled today especially late, no consistency. East side deserved to win that game, played really well and inches away from that being a 4-1 game with the posts. EGF's willingness to roll 3 lines and at least 4 D for the most part showed up while Cathedral leaned on those top 2 lines and Sturm heavy the last 2 days.

Junior, really solid QB too

Edina certainly recruits as well and theirs are often out of state guys.
