Turn it around, sure. But that wasn’t what I had said. To argue this disillusion being stated here that it’s essentially all on coaching and nothing else, I had said facetiously he could win 54 straight on his way to another title here despite our lack of resources, etc. And you said essentially maybe he could. Which I found ludicrous.

They’ve done it twice in 60 years…that sounds more like blue balls than blue bloods. Here’s hoping for 61!

I'm pretty sure the hockey coach was talking about hockey when interviewed immediately after a hockey game.

You do realize this program is working within a very tight budget? I think it's great Hutter is pushing the AD for more money for more qualified assistants, among other needs. Unless a womens' basketball benefactor appears out of nowhere, your private jets and lobster tail demands may have to wait awhile though.

Wow. LOL. It's hard to respond to this level of ignorance.

lol. Did every other school in the past 25 years that didn’t have such a dramatic turn around in year 1 call for the new coaches’ head? If you don’t realize how the new transfer rules and NIL money has put low level D 1 schools at an even greater disadvantage compared to your example of a Big 10 team from 25 years ago, I don’t know what to tell you. I guess if Geno Auriemma had been coaching UND these last two years with our roster, we would be on a 53 game winning streak and looking at a repeat. Because players don’t matter; it’s all about the coaching.

There’s a C in Bismarck.

Lol. Couldn’t be the talent of the players he had to work with, could it? I’ve heard every excuse made here except for the talent level of the players themselves. They are not responsible for anything evidently. And I guess within year 1, Hutter was supposed to erase a decade of UND futility in the minds of any potential transfers, along with personally cooking homemade gourmet meals for the team while he also flies a private jet to all away games. Did I miss anything?

So how did this “moron” go 26-3 his last year at Mayville State?

As the saying goes, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

Fire the coach, fire the AD, fire the chef, and keep begging for even more money for next year. Gotta love “college” sports.

There’s never been more pressure on coaches and ADs for instant results. I hope it all crashes and burns.

Well, i think you would be wrong. Look at all the coaches at the P4 schools who get bought out for tens of millions of dollars for the next shiny new coach. It's essentially the same thing.

I don't believe ROI enters the equation. It's a donation, and each is thought of in the short term. If this year's players don't pan out, there's always next year's shiny new player to grab. It's a fool's errand for the lower level conferences to try to keep up; there will always be more money elsewhere whether it be a larger wealthier donor base, or a school in a larger city that has more larger businesses to draw money from.

How do you suppose Hutter's team went 26-3 in his last year as Mayville State head coach?

So that’s all on the guy who has been here for two years and just one as head coach? The other problem with this sort of logic is if we had great players that he brought in and a great season, the best players would be abandoning UND for greener (pun intended) pastures. I suppose people would be pissed at him for that as well, saying he couldn’t keep the family together when a player leaves for a payday.

I agree with cutting loose those who aren’t good enough. People who are hung up on his family comments need to remember we’re living in a time where a “family commitment” from the player’s side is one year at a time.

If we lost our entire to team to the portal that would be fantastic. Because that would mean we went nearly undefeated and won a game or two in the tournament.

Just need to rename it. 1$ 1$$ 1$$$ 1$$$$

I guess the same way you’re supposed to win a bunch more games as a new coach with massive roster turnover while serving champagne wishes and caviar dreams on private jets within that same budget.

Amateur…I know what you’re saying, but there’s a lot of irony in the use of that word.

It’s the pizza’s fault.

I’m thinking of starting a site to compete with this one, named Siouxcomplaints.com
