    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.  

    Yep.

    Don't tell me, show me.

    I think it’s a reality check. We aren’t Wisconsin or Minnesota or even the Boston schools who can pull a HC from another school to coach herE. What’s the common denominator 

    We don't have a Chipotle.

    His Dad played for Providence and was drafted by the Capitals. Both parents were teachers and his Dad was his HS hockey coach. Very smart, tough hard nosed defenseman.  He also played RB in FB. Gained over 1000 yds in both his Jr and Sr seasons. Quick, fast, heavy hitter. He and Reed Manke were key players who led DL to the 2001 state championship. A honor student. 
    Played 3 yrs in USHL for Lincoln, then 4yrs at St. Cloud. Voted A as Soph and C his Jr and Sr years. All WCHA defenseman and I believe he was an academic All-American. Played professional hockey in Norway and Finland before assistant at StCloud then Minn. 
    Hired by Josh Morton to start Augie program and help oversee building their new arena.

    Watched player interviews.  He makes them a bit nervous cuz he is no nonsense and very smart but they respect and like him.

    Gopher fans want him back. He is a hell of a recruiter. Quiet guy, nice guy.  Players will play for him cuz they won’t want to let him down. Excellent teacher. 
    I haven’t asked if he is interested and I won’t. I have no idea if UND is interested in him but he should be considered. 
     

    UND shouldn't be waiting for his application. They should be all over him.
