They are doing a national search and I hope it is a true national search.

Agreed. This team's offensive issues didn't start last night.

THE Ohio State University has not been the same since Urban Meyer stepped down.

Saint Luke would be a great choice.

I think Chaves knows his continued employment here will hinge on the success of this hire.

It's the most positive development in UND athletics since hockey captured the Penrose Cup back in February.

Hobie is the one with the most upside and is the future of the position. He needs the playing time to establish himself.

Never saw this coming.

He rips on NDSU as well. He's an MSU-Moorhead alum.

I've been thinking about this. Chaves is the root of the problem. Letting him hire Bubba's replacement is perilous at best. I think Armacost needs to be the one to create fundamental change.

You mean a conversation about how long of an extension to give Sather? Because that's the only conversation Chaves seems to want to have with his coaches.

I didn't have a problem with Blake leaving because he didn't wait until the day before classes started in August. I was concerned Blake would get buried in the AHL and have a hard time getting a chance in the NHL, but thankfully that hasn't happened. I am proud of Blake and his accomplishments so far.

Agree 100%

I'm not buying into the conspiracy stuff. I think the simplest explanation is the best explanation. It is simply easier for Chaves to keep extending the same coaches than facing the prospect of having to search for a replacement. It is also cheaper to keep extending a coach with a slightly above average winning percentage than hiring a younger coach with bigger upside and higher earning potential. This all goes back to my contention that UND's Division 2 era funding model is simply inadequate and incapable of providing the necessary resources to build a successful Division 1 athletic program.

I think it was 9-0. It was televised on KTHI (now KVLY). With Ed Schultz (RIP) doing play by play. Man I'm getting old!

I think Jerry Jones is losing his mind. The younger Jones would have sent McCarthy packing after last season's playoff flameout. This Jerry Jones has convinced himself that the Cowboys are on the cusp of winning the Super Bowl and just need a few more pieces. Not that I am complaining or anything.

There is a lot of enabling of the current situation by media outlets like the Heraldo.

Wish I could like this post more than once.

This!

No, it won't happen every year. But the goal at the beginning of the year is to shoot for a Natty.

The cost of buyout drops next year.

I am 100% serious.
