stoneySIOUX Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Get sandy back Get the %GOBC.... You guys set the emergency meeting, yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodakhoops Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Sad and happy day for UND fans. Sad that we are losing a great coach and one of the best we've ever had. Happy that one of our own is going to be the head coach for one of the most storied organizations in the NHL. Head coach for the Philadelphia Flyers is a very big deal. Congrats to Hak, you will be missed at UND. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalieMask Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Whoever becomes the next coach, wow.....what a lineage you join. The last three coaches alone were at the helm from 1978-2015. They EACH won 250+ games, 13 conference titles, and 5 National Championships. "Here's your clipboard, and your whistle, go get 'em." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 And now that he's gone, folks will STILL find something to b*tch about...Would Hak taking the job in Edmonton or Buffalo made you happier? I think there is a valid point in that post. The NHL is a much different animal; coaches get fired 10 games into the regular season sometimes. At a college program, you are king of the castle; in the NHL you are way more expendable than the players. I wish him all the best; I do think the NHL is a good fit for him.

ibleedgreen Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 UND will be fine. I wish Dave the best. Man I can't wait to see the list of potential candidates for this job. In no particular order Eades Blais Berry Jackson Gwozdecky Hastings E. Blasi Guentzel Sandelin Please list others you think. Christopher McComas..."Slap the Puck"!

90siouxfan Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 This was all planned by the %GOBC, Eades goes to USHL, puts a warm fuzzy feeling in a whole generation of recruits. Meanwhile Berry gets comfortable in GF, Hak moves on, Eades steps in. Win, Win, Win. Easy Peasy JapaneseyI may have had too much coffee.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneySIOUX Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Setting it up for the "told you so". Lol I'm well aware of that one. It's much worse with this being a head coach discussion versus a recruit one, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Berry is the easy hire for continuity and smooth transition. Eades...Sandy then Berry are my choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigskyvikes Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The BEST thing about this is that every media outlet is pulling and running with photos of Hak in SIOUX gear. Noticed that also!! SIOUX!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Congratulation to Hak, I have always been a big fan. He is leaving this program in tremendous condition for whomever the next coach is. I like the idea of the next coach having UND roots (Sandelin, Berry, Eades, Jackson), but if they looked outside, I would not be opposed to Hastings, Guentzel or Gwozdecky (though is would seem funny to have Gwoz after how much fans disliked him when he was with Denver) If Gwozdecky, it must be written in his contract to do the dasher dance during the stick salute after sweeps. Very bummed to see Hak go, but really excited to see who we bring in. Go Sioux! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb1 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I would love to see Gwoz or Guentzel. I am sorry I just don't think Sandy is the right choice. He is to inconsistent for my liking. Just as I type this Schloss is tweeting that Brad Berry will likely be the next UND head coach. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan512 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Sandy is at the top of our list Has done more with less Don't agree with you on much, but I really hope this is the top name on the list. That being said, how likely is it that we snag him away from Duluth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodakhoops Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Posted these names in the other thread. UNDs open record search could stop some candidates from applying..... remember the football search. Top Choices Dave Tippett Why don't we steal one back from the NHL? Enrico Blasi ( I know this guy doesn't have UND connections but he is a fantastic coach. Not sure if he could be taken from Miami but Faison should give him a call.) Sandelin Jackson Berry Next Tier Eades Blais (Not sure how many years he has left) Darkhorses Frank Serratore Mike Hastings Gwoz Mike Eaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 As long as Guentzel doesn't bring the "Minnesotans only" rule, I'd be happy to have him. Eades and Hastings would also be solid. Hopefully Berry has what it takes to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
