Taz Boy Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Well, I fully intend to submit my application as I have coach/played for a variety of teams dating back to NHL93 on Super Nintendo. I also have more Stanley Cups than anyone in the market, consistently winning more than 1 cup in any given calendar year. Name any current coach who can claim that. I would also like to point out the my stretch of playing C-team youth hockey between squirts and bantams (C stand for Cup, of which I have many; again, see above). In addition to extensive NHL experience, I have also watched the movie Miracle and know that the name on the front of your jersey (hopefully just North Dakota) is more important than the one on your back. (Unless we had landed Auston Matthew, in which case everyone just get him the puck) I've wanted to get into the NCAA for a long time, but until EA Sports gets their S%!# together and makes a game, this is looking like my opportunity. You are more qualified than me on paper, but I will rock the f2f interview with stunning good looks, magnetic personality, and my encyclopedic knowledge of late 80's bars and taverns in the greater GF/EGF area. The Spud, legendary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 James Patrick That would be a nice hire. Not sure if it was dismissed, but wasn't there a domestic assault charge against Patrick a year or so ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJHovey Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Doesn't appear to have 12 years coaching experience yet (which seems like a pretty ridiculous minimum qualification). Not that I've seen many of these assistant coach job descriptions but i've seen a few job descriptions in my day. This seems to me to have someone's name written on it, if we could just decipher the code It's strange, especially the 12 years coaching experience (a strange number, why not 10 for instance), and the 5 years of NHL experience. Not sure a lot of UND alum fit in with those requirements, other than Patrick who seems secure in Dallas. One name that popped into my head was Tony Granato. Likely out with Babcock being gone from Detroit. He was in charge of Detroit's defense. Rumored to go to places like San Jose. No connection to UND or Berry at all, that I can see, other than they were contemporaries. During Berry's three seasons here, Granato was at Wisconsin. I agree with the idea that the description very much looks tailored to one individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Maybe if all of us apply as a group we would qualify U wouldn't even have to pay me if I get to go to all away games (maybe room & board when away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm thinking they're trying to get Kevin Dineen. Going by HockeyDB.com, Dineen doesn't have the 12 years of coaching; however, there is a gap between the end of his playing career and his first listed coaching year.

The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Much like the Brad Berry hire when Hakstol replaced Eades with Berry, this job posting looks like it was written specifically for someone that the coaching staff has in mind.

The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I rattled down the list of UND guys I thought maybe: James Patrick -- short on the 12 years* Craig Ludwig -- ditto Rick Zombo -- ditto Jason Herter -- ditto Nick Fuher -- ditto Mitch Vig -- ditto Dane Litke -- ditto Mark Pivetz -- ditto *strictly based off what I can find in HockeyDB.com; if that's not correct neither am I.

The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Bachelor’s Degree Minimum 12 years’ experience coaching hockey at the NCAA, junior hockey or professional hockey Those are "musts" not "wants" (required, not preferred). Notice that the playing at the NCAA DI level is a "want", not a "must". So, we need someone who is at least 12 years post-playing career (as there's only one player coach out there in recent memory: some guy named 'Brad Berry' with the K-Wings). We need someone who stopped playing in 2002-03 season or before (first coaching season: 2003-04). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Steve Johnson ... does anyone know what he was in charge of at SCSU and UNO when he was an assistant there? I ask because Steve was a forward, but he may have coached to meet these two "musts": Experience coaching and developing defensemen at NCAA D1 or professional level Experience with coaching/developing power play at any level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm starting to wonder about some of those K-Wings teams Brad player/coached, or some of the (AHL) Moose guys he coached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Was thinking Rick Wilson must have those qualifications, but why would he leave the Minnesota Wild. Just thinking that anybody with that much experience, are they going to be eager for getting out on the long recruiting trail and the work that it requires to stay on top? I realize that the NHL is an absolute grind as well, but I hope someone isn't looking for security without being all in on the amount of work it takes, even at the college level. Would rather have an up and comer than someone that just is looking for a little job security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Brad Berry quote when he became UNDs head coach: " I learned under the best: Dave Hakstol, Dean Blais, Gino Gasparini, Scott Arniel, who learned under Alain Vigneault." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND99 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yes. I'm sure the assistant will be someone Berry knows and has worked with in the past... Arniel misses a key preferred qualification: He never played defense at the NCAA DI level. And he has no ties to the college game that I know of. And do we honestly think he would relinquish his position as AV's top assistant in New York to come to UND? Unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobey would be the first to jump from equipment manager to asst. coach. Of course nobody could do it better or with more flare than Tobes.
