If Jackson doesn't shake things up and things don't improve, then how long should he get? The college hockey world won't wait for us to get our crap together. I don't want to fall further behind.

Wow, who peed in your cereal today?

I wouldn't go that far. Bubba did a good job of cleaning up the mess Mussman left behind. He just couldn't take us any further than that.

I just didn't like how it made UND look.

I have to agree to disagree.

I agree with this 100%. I really hope if they hire Jackson, he works out long-term.

I do think DJ needs to be on a short leash. He's been here 19 years. If there is little to no improvement in the performance of the team two years from now, then it will be back to the drawing board.

Can we not bring up that stupid idiot ever again?

We should work on courting more donors and not rely on one donor for everything. Diversification is key going forward for us to stay competitive.

All good old fashioned common sense. Agree 100%

If he gets buried in the AHL, he'll be making a lot less money than he was hoping for. I wish him well. But it's a huge leap going from college sophomore to playing against fully grown men in the professional ranks.

Um, not really. They are part of the program (always will be as long as they are alive). But they are just one of several important stakeholders who have a vested interest in who runs this program and it's success. For the record, Jackson may end up being a great hire. I just hope he plans on shaking things up.

Wow, that would be something! Including St. Thomas, we'd have a total of 17 teams.

I thought the B1G was the "super conference" that was going to take over college hockey? Seriously though, I wonder what this would look like.

That is the risk you take when you leave early.

Fair points.

Best of luck to him.

I also feel bad for Berry. He bleeds Sioux green and obviously worked as hard as he could to help us win. It just didn't work out like he and a lot of us had hoped. I wish him well in whatever he does going forward.

Reggie White went there.

Awesome!

Winning 11 games (4 of those wins were against woeful Michigan Tech) was not fun to watch. That final season was not up tempo. You are thinking more of the late 1980's and early 1990's.

The United States produces way more players than it used to. It isn't limited to The Three M's (Minnesota, Massachusetts and Michigan) anymore.

I remember those years very well. That final year (1993-94) was very ugly.

Technically, Gino "resigned". But I think he was told "Resign or be fired".

Just an example of how an assistant in the previous regime won't necessarily do things the same.
