I reiterate, despite those who question me, that the number one thing we must do is make UND the destination where guys want to go to get to the NHL. We will not compete on overall campus experience, and we will not compete on academics. It must be, if you are a chippah, you need to come here to go pro and not ride a bus. This is it, pure and simple. then, we need to throw NIL $ at them and help them make it.

Enough of this "one and done" baloney. It's just an excuse.
Denver doesn't seem to have a problem winning Natty's. Three national titles since our last in 2016. That isn't "luck", that's good recruiting, development and game planning. Something we used to be good at
Jackson may end up being a home run hire. I just don't want Berry 2.0
winning natty's is no longer my bag. Of course I wish for it, but I reflect back on all those talented teams, and I still loved the ride, and I still watched every one of those guys that made the nhl

Get back to the UND way of being tough to play against, and not struggling against freakin Miami and the like.

I also heard somewhere that Gwoz and DU were having difficulty reaching an agreement on a new contract so he flirted with the Ohio State opening and that pissed off the DU administration. Any merit to that story?
heard this as well

Recruiting non Minnesotans is pretty rare at Minnesota, Raboin sealing the deal on one super elite guy and another who became a super elite guy is very impressive.
well, they didn't recruit non-Minnesotans for like 70 years

the thing is chippahs beget chippahs...without the first, you lose the second and third. They all want to play together. Look at what BC and BU and MI have done...loaded teams with chippahs. Yeah, they didn't win it all, but damn...I bet that fan base is still juiced and looking forward to next season...2 are still alive this year, and loaded with WJC and 1st round talent...

NCAA tourney is one and done. !@#$ happens. You lose sometimes with the best team and you win sometimes without the best team. The big deal is you have to get to the dance. We need to get there every season and we need a coach who gets chippahs in a pipeline. Parise and Toews were the two most coveted recruits in college hockey and we got them.

For the record, getting Knies and Cooley is great, but its not like the University of Minnesota is hard to recruit to. I guess they lost Eiserman, but its not the same.

List the National Championship coaches that began their career as an Associate or assistant at a blue blood.
Within how many years and who did they bring in as associates and assistants? That is the key question. Every senior exec knows you are only as good as the people who you bring in or keep next to you. I would not bring in an unproven head coach mostly because i don't think they can bring in the right people to help immediately, and we are in an immediate correction situation.

You know when you don’t know what you are talking about you shouldn’t post stupid stuff to prove it. He was an assistant at SCSU for 6 years. They made the NCAA tourney 5 years and the F4 the last year. Endorsed by former player now in NHL. Coached at Mn 4 yrs. Got to NCAA tourney 2 of 3 possible years. Endorsed by former player who is in NHL. Built D1 Augie program from scratch with winning program in 2 yrs with what folks here call “grindaz”.
Extremely intelligent and recognized by fellow coaches and former players as an outstanding recruiter. He is also one tough SOB when he has to be. Midco did a great piece on Augie hockey and his players believe in him, respect him, a bit afraid of pissing him off but they like him and love playing for him.
It doesn’t matter if guys who have never coached or played at the college level don’t think he can recruit or that his Augie creds aren’t sufficient. When multiple NHL guys who played for him highly endorse him, I take notice. He is highly qualified and I would bet a nice donation that he would be successful.
Having said that, I don’t know if he is interested and it doesn’t seem to me that UND would reach out so maybe it’s a moot point.
Denver hired a guy a few years ago that a lot of folks didn’t think much of other than he looked a bit like Opie (or maybe Howdy Doody). That seems to have worked out ok. There are a number of other great choices others have discussed, so hopefully whomever it is, they will be successful.
sorry i am not high on him like you are. Never call me stupid. I won't call you stupid either. Its opinion.

Next head coach needs to take a page out of the Carle recruiting book and lay a plan out year to year with each recruit and how he sees them contributing to the team.
this is exactly what Carle does and it is excellent.

O.k. So how has he improved Michigan? What did he do as an assistant at Harvard? Don’t remember Harvard winning anything. Besides, since UND isn’t even being considered by top recruits, shouldn’t we have a coach that can do more with less? Regardless I will be looking to see Rassey taking over a blue blood in the next year or two.
I am not anybody's agent. I think on the surface, a guy who was assistant at Harvard and Associate at Michigan is very attractive. Michigan won the Big 10 and Harvard won in that time frame as well at least a beanpot? (i'm not doing homework on this as I am not that invested), while both produced NHL talent.
From my lens, the superstars that came to UND and took us deep made me love the program more and made me watch them all in the NHL...I followed Parise, Oshie, Toews, Zajac, Stafford, Nelson, Kristo, Grimaldi...I still pay attention when they do something.
We need that again. I could go way, way back, and the guys i watched growing up, but as an adult...it was fun to watch these elite players make a go, and even if they lost in the Frozen Four, I loved watching them in the NHL

Genuine question here. Would you be higher on Raboin if he was still just an assistant coach with Minnesota?
love that ask...if he was associate head at Gophers, I would be way high on him

Again, you claiming he's only HC of Augustana and nothing more shows just how out of touch you are.
did you read my comments that I believe he is being groomed?

It'd be so much cooler if he was the Associate HC of RPI instead!
I won't go personal over a message board, but look back and see who I referenced before being more generic...it was the associate head at Michigan. Yes, Michigan. Not Augustana...a school where you might need a pulse to attend. Michigan is a program with many championships, an elite academic institution basically on par with Ivy, a track record into the NTDP and Hockey Canada. I don't know why the love affair with Rabboin...It appears he is being groomed as a high end coach, he might be a great coach and great guy, but the coach of Augustana now the head coach of the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux? That is a hard pill for an old guy like me.

You're so rattled that you rightfully got called out for shitting on what Raboin has accomplished.

Personal attacks?
Nope, just an observation based on your previous posts on this forum.
You have repeatedly defended this athletic department and its director despite a total lack of results in the programs under its purview. Pointing that out isn't a personal attack, it's a simple observation.
It's not personal, it's strictly business (I've been watching The Godfather movies again).
Tom, can you get me off the hook, for old times sake?

somebody called Raboin a chippah....I am done commenting on the man, as I don't know him and have no recollection of Jan Brady State nor some college in SD nobody outside of the area has ever heard of...however, I do want to ensure vocabulary is correct...a non-drafted, walk-on by definition cannot be a chippah. They can be a great player, which I am not saying he wasn't, although I don't recall him as a player...but chippaz are drafted and chippaz are full ride at 18. Chippaz are chippaz.

Cullen is leaving the state…he’s not coaching UND. I think Schlossman out some of those names in there as a joke.
ahhh...sounds like you know the secrets of the 2006-2010 chippaz too : ). You are correct that he is leaving.

I've seen those labeled as volunteer assistant coach as opposed to assistant coach on staff listings

brother, we've been on here together for a ton of years, and I respect you- shocking actually we never met in person at a F4 or F5...probably walked past each other : ) I know exactly what you're saying, and God knows I hated certain fans wearing other colors at times...but don't you miss being there at the top every year even if we didn't win it all. We were there. Eye of the Tiger. Could've done it. RIght there....
