Cratter Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Read the title of the thread! If you want the "hiring of the Yale coach" then what was your plan for Hak? I guess my reply should have said "Who said anything about firing a guy for not winning one after winning one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberkas Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 #buttregularseasonrecord who remembers regular seasons records? I don't I remember nattys You want the coach fired if the team gives up a goal. So in gfhockey's world, fire the coach if the team doesn't go undefeated and doesn't have a shutout every game.

MafiaMan Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Rich Comley was almost run out of East Lansing after four or five years with Michigan State? In his fourth year he got second place in the conference and lost in the NCAA quarterfinals. Must be high standards in East Lansing.I have some friends who are 30+ year season ticket holders at NMU and know a couple of former Spartan players - yes, I know what I'm talking about. Ron Mason won three CCHA regular season titles and three playoff titles in his last five years at East Lansing. The Spartans won at least 27 games in each of those five years and won more than 30 in two of those five years. Sparty also made 5 trips to the NCAA tournament and went to 2 Frozen Fours during that time frame. By contrast, Comley's first three years garnered win totals of 23, 23, and 20, respectively, resulting in 4th, 3rd, and 6th place CCHA regular season finishes, and 0 tournament titles. MSU missed the NCAA tournament in 2 of his first 3 seasons at the helm. The 05-06 team rebounded to win the CCHA playoffs and made it as far as the NCAA tournament quarterfinals, which likely saved Comley's job and set the stage for the 06-07 title team. Ron Mason and Rick Comley go back a looooong ways and no doubt, Mason certainly did not want to fire his long-time friend. I was at an NMU/MSU series in Marquette several hears ago and Comley receved a standing ovation both nights in pre-game introductions. He is still treated like a hero in the town for starting up the hockey program at the school. A Yooper hockey legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would ever wonder why Michigan State would have even hired him in the first place. Guess I know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comley played for Mason at Lake Superior State and took over that program after Mason moved on. Rumor was that Mason wanted to retire several years before he actually did, but Comley turned down Mason's job offer. When offered the job a second time, Comley decided to take it.

shep Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The Hak supporters properly point out the success of the team in his time and his .600 W PCT and that's great. If Jones, Brewster and even Bubba did that with several trips to the playoffs/Big Dance they'd be here for life. But this is UND HOCKEY. The standard is higher and every year that we don't get a title it's as though we accept anything less than a title. No one expects to win one every year, and we do give a guy a chance and 10 years is more than fair. Plus how many coaches, even pro, wouldn't want to try coaching here? We would get applicants from all over the hockey world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Shoulda won 10 - 0. Blais woulda pulled the goalie to get err done. GOBC will meet to discuss a possible Hakstol scratch for tomorrow nights game. More to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is that person, in your mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 You literally say the same things over and over and over. This entire thread feels like groundhogs day to me every time I read it. I swear you could reboot last year's thread and it would look nearly identical to this year's. We just won a hockey game last night by the way. I think that's kinda neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
