GM is separate. My understanding is they can't be involved in coaching but can handle some of the new era aspects of the program to let the coach focus on his own stuff.

I think it's important to not just look at wins in men's basketball. These guys are being asked to build new rosters every year.

This guy.

I was about to call you an idiot but then I recognized the importance of words 3 and 4.

UND might have had a salary pool similar to the NHL lol

Isn't that a check cut to the school rather than a collective?

Since football and basketball seem to basically be off the table for growth at NDSU, I would like them to look into hockey. I don't see FBS ever happening, and basketball as a low major is done. It seems impossible to retain players. So not sure whether it is worth pumping more funding into that when the results are going to be the same. Regular trips to Frisco and a plausible but unlikely chance at being a low seed in March Madness. I don't think you'd ever see NDSU be consistently better than UND in hockey. Maybe stretches here and there. I do think a base of support would emerge pretty quickly.

I would try to get someone relatively young who has never stayed in Grand Forks more than a few days.

Same but Penn State just looks like their football team and the stripe on the helmet is lame.

Similar deal at NDSU with the football team. Didn't see them at many house parties, granted we were in very different social circles lol.

I know basically nothing about hockey but from the outside it looks like a lazy hire. It'll work out however it works out. But hiring the sidekick of the dude you just canned smells bad.

Well that guy must feel like an idiot then. Pretty 5 minutes down a man is an awful long time

Was that a good call to make it a major and misconduct?

My sarcasm detector is off today

Fire a coach who coached a team with a 1 seed?
