I would gladly eat crow on this but not what I wanted to hear. It all looks like the writing on the wall is Jackson will be named. If it’s between Blashill and Jackson I would rather it be Jackson.

Well then we get to go through this whole fun process again but with lessons learned hopefully.

I thought we were all alumni 🤣

My question with Schloss’s article about the hiring of Gino, some have pointed out it could be to lay the groundwork for a Jackson hire which would be maybe an unpopular pick. However at the same time in Schloss’s candidate list article he states that Jackson is the Alumni favorite. So which is it. Favorite or not popular pick?

Sounds like Hak is out. I am a little worried now it’s going to be Jackson or maybe Sandelin.

I really wanted Hak to be honest. If that is not the case then I have really warmed up to Raboin. I have no idea how realistic the chances are of that but if Hak is a no go I would like to get Raboin. Another person who I think would really move the needle would be Moorhead boy Matt Cullen.

I have worked with Karl on many occasions and he is a really nice guy, very smart and articulate. I saw someone post that as a coach he doesn’t relate to players and I actually can see that being true. When he was hired I had very high expectations for him not only with being a good goalie recruiter but perhaps an air apparent down the road. Again nothing personal against Karl but he has been underwhelming to say the least.

Does Augustana have any message boards that some are on? Curious if there is any talk of Rabioun possibly leaving.

We need our super sleuths on the case. I sure hope it’s not Brett Larson

I live a few houses away from him. Yes they still have the house in GF and I see him outside all the time.

I believe the Berry crew signed over rights to UND.

Those are just preferred qualifications. Not requirements.

The DOT coaching trifecta.

My best guess is it will either be Hak or Jackson. Although I did like a few names on the list from Schloss. Coach from WMU, interesting, but huge buyout, he is probably out, Mayotte from CC, interesting. What are others best guess. My guess is someone on Schloss list is the guy.

I wonder how that works if he takes another job. Is the Kraken contract null and void or do they have to continue to honor that? I mean if you are gonna make 500k to coach UND but get paid from Seattle 2M +/yr to be at home might have an impact on a decision.

🤣

Sorry if this has already been asked, is Hak currently employed? I live over by him in GF and I see him all the time.

I have doubts that Chaves is up to the task as well. I would surmise he is leaning heavily on Erik Martinson for help with this. Erik seems to be pretty dialed into college hockey and is most likely helping Chaves drive the ship here.

Endorsed by the ”People”, whatever that means. A certain former player.

I would be ok with that. But KG has to go as well.

Dude isn’t really fully committed. He left UMD and then was talked back by WMU coach but I feel he doesn’t have long term plans to do anything.

That’s assuming Chaves is competent.

It is undeniable though, Hak gets the most out of his players.

Hopefully a new change can also bring about some momentum with the collective and some needed dollars.
