Exactly, no one knows what that will look like except Jackson.

I thought of that as well. Sometimes you need to get worse before you can get better.

But he serves on so many important committees! And he brought us those all-important Alston Awards! The current state of UND athletics makes me sick.

James and Strinden are solid. Montgomery is a marginal Division I player.

Nope. At UND, it's all about GPA and community service hours. Just like high school.

Any players who threatened to leave if Jackson wasn't hired and leave anyway deserve whatever they get going forward. If you were planning on leaving anyway, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT about coaching hires.

Was he one of the players who threatened to leave if Jackson wasn't hired?

If players don't want to be here, let them leave. They can become a locker room cancer.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

If any of the players who threatened to leave if Jackson didn't get the job leave anyway, I will be p!$$ed.

That tells you how dysfunctional this team was in 2024-2025.

So we should have kept Berry?

That seems plausible based on what has come out.

Even better.

Berry didn't mention any of his assistants in his farewell letter to the Heraldo. That is telling.

This is a perfect description of what we need! Well done, my friend.

Chyzyk would make a solid assistant.

If Jackson announces at his introductory press conference that everything will remain exactly the same going forward, then all this was a big waste of time and money.

What has Goehring done as an assistant coach except come up with cute nicknames for backup goalies? As for Simpson, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

The sooner the Pohlads sell the team the better.

So how many offers does a commit have to have to be considered "huge"? 6? 10?

If Jackson has success running this program, it won't matter how he got the job. If Jackson doesn't have success running this program, then Chaves can start updating his resume.

I appreciate your tips during both the FB coaching change and now the hockey coaching change.

If the players that threatened to leave if Jackson wasn't hired leave anyway, then you know that UND athletics as a whole needs serious housecleaning.

Based on what I have read here, it sounds like Berry and Jackson butted heads often. Which would suggest we'll see a much different team in October.
