Something has been in the works for awhile.

Then why didn't they just hold a press conference this morning and announce it? That's what they did when Hakstol left.

Anything under 90% is unacceptable.

Gino was hired to replace Bjorkman and had been on Rube's staff. It was obvious from the start that Gino's idea of how to run a program was much different from Bjorkman's. It is entirely possible that Dane Jackson has a much different philosophy than Brad Berry did. That is the ONLY way hiring Jackson would make any sense at all.

The only way Dane Jackson makes sense is if he and Bubs have totally different ideas on how to run the program. Otherwise, this is merely rearranging the deck chairs of the Titanic.

Almost as ironic as hiring Gwoz.

Please beat them! I don't want them anywhere close to a Natty.

I think this also excludes Dane Jackson from being the hire. If they promoted from within, they wouldn't be advertising the job externally now.

That might work.

That would be outrageous. But if they were planning on doing that, they would have already announced it.

Berry was promoted. There was no search at all.

No, it's not. That may be good enough for LSSU or Northern Michigan or Bemidji State. Not North Dakota. Not yesterday. Not today. Not ever. I think one of the reasons Gwoz was fired at Denver was a lack of national success. And national success was not defined by winning one tournament game every year. Denver's success is not a result of "luck". It's the result of hiring the right coach at the right time. Here's to a return to national level success.

If Armacost is running it behind the scenes, sure.

When that fourth Denver goal was waived off, I had a feeling your team would battle back and win.

That would be irony on steroids.

Congrats to your team on NCHC regular season and playoff titles. THANK YOU for beating Denver on Saturday night. I am so sick and tired of those hideous red uniforms and little Opie Taylor behind the bench. Good luck going forward. Keep it in the NCHC.

This would make the most sense if we are bringing Hakstol back.

That is a false choice. Why do we keep bringing that up? This is not an either/or proposition. Denver is always in the hunt, but they also don't lose in the semifinals every time they get there. They finish the job when they have all the pieces in place to do so. Why do we keep insisting we can have one, but not the other. SMH.

I am very surprised that the program went in the direction it did under Berry. Berry is a good assistant coach, just not head coaching material. He is a great guy and human being and I wish him the best.

I believe the B1G moved to on-campus sites a few years ago.

How long would Hakstol want to stick around this time? I really hope he doesn't stay too long like Gino and Berry did.

A lot of papers don't publish daily anymore. I think the Fargo Forum does the same thing.

Hakstol didn't have to deal with the portal or NIL. Could he adjust to that?

I was actually referring to when Gino was forced out and Blais was hired to replace him.

If there are some growing pains that come with this coaching change, I am fine with it.
