This made me wonder if an outside hire is made, and he brings in an all new staff......is UND on the hook for any buyout $$S  on current assistants or do they simply lose their jobs without compensation?

I think Assistants have contracts too, so whatever it says in there.

The ties to the program or community are important for one primary reason- the new guy and his family.  Somebody who spent their life in Boston might love the opportunity to run UND hockey, but convincing wife and kids might not be the easiest thing.  Not ripping GF, just saying its a rural community at the northwestern edge (other than AK) of D1 hockey with really rough winters.  Can't have a guy take this job and have his family unhappy.

"After an exhaustive 3 day national search, we have decided that it is in the best interests of the program to maintain continuity by naming Dane Jackson..."

If I am interviewing Dane Jackson my line of questioning would be:

"You coached under both Davee Hakstol and Brad Berry, can you concisely describe the differences in their head coaching and how you feel that impacted results?"

"You were associate head coach under Brad Berry, can you give me an example of what specifically you would've done differently in order to achieve better outcomes over the past 9 years?"

"It is becoming harder and harder to recruit in an era of NIL$ and investment in hockey by large Universities in the Big10 and HockeyEast, how will you approach recruiting in order to make UND a top destination for elite talent?"

"Have you given any thought into your staff and the organizational structure you will create to deliver results on the ice?"

"How will you reinvigorate a passionate fan base and alumni network through your approach to leading UND hockey?"

Everybody wants what is best, people seem to be extra stressed or irritable related to this.  I think the best approach has to be one of optimism without attachment.  This head coach is taking over a program that hasn't met expectations of the administration, the fan base, and alumni (and speculation would also be players).  My skepticism on Raboin is not a personal knock on him.  I don't know him, as he's not an 06-10 : )   lol.  I am wishing for a homerun, and he isn't someone I would've thought of due to his head coaching being at Augustana.  If he's the guy, I will support him and hope for the best.  I have no say in any of it, just like the rest of you I hope that whomever takes the reigns can bring us back to national prominence.

I don't have a horse in the race.  if they choose Raboin, I will wish him success, I am just biased against Augustana and Cloud.

so if i had left it at Big10 and HockeyEast would you all be happy?  you all zeroed on ECAC.

We know. You're a very important person. Anytime anybody forgets it, you're the first one there to remind them. We thank you for your service.

I want what's best for the program.  We can disagree without making it personal.  I would want more brand cache than Raboin brings.  

[Search for a New Head Coach]

wow...wow...wow...how about Big10 programs, hockey East programs...ECAC programs, NOT a guy from Augustana.  And I'm clued in with Chippaz from 06-10 for the record.

[Search for a New Head Coach]

I would seek out Associate Head Coaches at premier programs with history of developing chippaz to the next level and history of winning at the highest levels. 

Raboin will excite ZERO chippaz.  ZERO.

are we really talking about bringing is a young coach from start-up Augustana as the head coach of a premier hockey program in the nation?

It would be unlikely to use private aircraft UNLESS the plane was already on location for another reason and/or the flight was already scheduled.  I've interviewed several times in my career for executive roles with BIG companies with private jets.  I was always flown commercial.  Black car service waiting at airport, but never the corporate jet for an interview.  I'd imagine UND operates similarly.

No way.  If you step down you don’t get paid.  Doesn’t make sense.  

Its a contract, not at will...you Only lose your contract $  if you've committed an act of moral terpitude or blatently abandoned your responsibility.

Application deadline, not hiring window.

True, but you don't put a super short window out there unless you have your guy.  I've hired many people where HR said I had to post it for a minimum of 7 days.  I had my candidate picked before I posted with a 7 day turnaround.  Otherwise I posted "until filled"

Can anyone recall an instance where they announced an assistant or head coach from a program still actively playing to fill a vacancy for another program?  I know portal timing is changing the dynamic but I just don’t see it happening. 

I cannot imagine that happening.  If a coach still in the tourney was of the character to accept a new position during the season let alone their playoff run...I don't want them

Not Jax.  If it was, they would've announced it already as a seamless transition.

So, you gotta be looking for a rising star current Associate or Assistant on a high performing team, head coaches on high performing teams aren't leaving, and if they are announcing soon, that also rules out Associates and Assistants that are in the field of 16.  Alternatively you are looking for a former Head Coach with a proven track record that is not working or is working well below their pay grade in a lesser league.  

My two cents
