siouxforcefans Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I just saw this on FB and had to jump here to see if anyone was confirming it. I am very sad to see him go.
Teeder11 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Here's hoping commits stay committed and returners don't change their minds.
petey23 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Wow. As a UND fan/alum I am stunned and it feels a little like a kick in the gut. As a Flyer fan and Hakstol fan I am excited! 1
Ray77 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Agreed...congrats and best of luck to Hak with the Flyers (ugh!). And the GM of the Flyers is....Ron Hextall. I also do hope that those that committed to coming back stick with that commitment.
Maddogg1971 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Ya'll have to read the Flyers message board. Talk about rubes!!!!
shep Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Good luck to Hak. Exciting time now to speculate on his replacement.
Just Curious Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 So the question is who is the next head coach? Do they promote from within for the upcoming season or do they try to hire a new coach right away? I am also interested in what this does for current and future players. What was shaping up to be another dominate team could definitely take a turn in the opposite direction.
Maddogg1971 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 There is going to be some serious candidates for the job in Grand Forks.
siouxkid12 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I know eades is going to be the head coach of Fargo but does he look at the UND job now? 1
Sodbuster Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Here's hoping commits stay committed and returners don't change their minds. Yeah. My son called me with this news about 5 minutes ago. It came out of the blue, didn't it? (gfhockey???) I sure hope,like Teeder11, that this doesn't affect the decisions already made by committed and returning players. Okay, who's the new head coach?
Siouxphan27 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 The NCAA titles will start rolling in now! *** 1 1
UND1983 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Anyone else like to see them bring in an outside coach with no UND ties to see how that would go? Or are guys like Berry, Eades, or Johnson better?
Oxbow6 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I know eades is going to be the head coach of Fargo but does he look at the UND job now? He would jump at it ASAP.............BF just needs to place the call.
JohnboyND7 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 This is crap. Looks like Giroux needs to get out now.
AZSIOUX Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 All I care about is the recruits and replacement keeping them all Look forward to the chance for UND hockey!! Congrats to Hak in NHL gig
Just Curious Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 What about Brad Berry? I think he would be a viable candidate as well, or maybe just a safe play for the upcoming season.
Shawn-O Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 He would jump at it ASAP.............BF just needs to place the call. BF at the helm on this one doesn't give me great comfort... 2
kfah1 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Man... this was sure under the radar wasn't it. Not a peep that any discussions were going on. Surprised that something didn't leak out about discussions. Shocked when I seen come across my NHL alerts. While this is a good deal for Dave Hakstol (and all the best to him) one wonders how this will affect the program and future recruits and commitments as mentioned by others. However; the team will move forward and continue to produce I'm sure. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.
