UND1983 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Seems to me coaching changes happen at Kentucky for one of two reasons: The NCAA violations hammer Missing the NCAA tournament Which criteria has Hakstol met in his 9 year tenure? See Tubby Smith and his record at Kentucky and how it ended. Quote
brianvf Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 So you agree with the assessment that 5-7 more seasons of 25-30 wins with no NCAA title(s) shouldn't be reason enough to start a national coaching search? It seems like a few on here have already begun their national search. Seven more years of no titles? I would personally be fine with moving on before that if that ends up being the case. Would the administration? That's another question. No losing seasons...25-30 wins a season probably means a couple league titles and playoff titles, just no natty. If attendance is still good and Hakstol wanted to stay, I'm not sure if they would make the call or not. Quote
sprig Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Hakstol = Woog (without the cash-in-a-hat-under-the-desk scandal) Stayed out of this terrible thread, but this comparison pmo every time I see it; pure BS. Woog's teams in the last few years played like they didn't give a crap, he lost their respect, and they didn't care enough themselves to play as a team. Whey don't you just go kick Hak out of his office and start motivating the team, or whatever else you feel like should be done. Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 See Tubby Smith and his record at Kentucky and how it ended. Exactly who I thought you would point out. Had Hakstol won the 2005 NCAA title, this thread would STILL be blowing up right now for his inability to win another one since then. I hope Kentucky fans enjoyed the Billy Gillispie years and cry bitter tears once the NCAA reaper takes down Calipari's banner from the rafters at Rupp Arena. Florida sealed Tubby's fate in 2006 and 2007. Hak would already be gone had Minnesota won back to back NCAA titles in the past two years. Quote

The comparison is spot on, except Tubby has way better win pct, a NC and was still run out. UND loves their regular season wins. Quote
Sodbuster Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 PS sucks to be back here Sorry. Don't feel sorry for you. (We peons had to stay) Quote
MafiaMan Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 The comparison is spot on, except Tubby has way better win pct, a NC and was still run out. UND loves their regular season wins. Are you proposing a Sioux hockey coach version of John Calipari? Just hang banners in the rafters, coach, we don't care how it gets done. Quote
Speez Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Question? are coaches allowed to motivate the team? Just asking. When Dean was coach it was the captains fault when the players weren't motivated. Dean even had players like that. Some guys need more than a kick in the butt to get them going. Quote
Wilbur Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Are you proposing a Sioux hockey coach version of John Calipari? Just hang banners in the rafters, coach, we don't care how it gets done. Just win baby! For one, I can't believe that former UND player's kids wouldn't go to UND....Zombo.....Archibald.....now a Morelli of all people going to UNO? As soon as UND officials knew Blais was coming back to amateur hockey he should have become the coach of UND, and Hak relegated back to Sioux City. Think of UND's team now. Zombo, Archibald, Guentzel (because Blais would have convinced him to play at UND, even though his dad coaches the gophers). Geaudreau, McCabe, Fasching, Kerdiles, Sam Brittain, Dowd, Butcher. UND wouldn't have these no namers like St. Clair, Pattyn, Rodwell. Grimadli would be on the fourth line, and we wouldn't even be talking about Tambelini because he wouldn't have made the JV squad. PS: And UND would still be the Fighting Sioux. Dean wouldn't have let that change either. Quote
