I'm sure these coaches have buyouts. So, if the school rather not have to buyout the coach, let the contract expire. I'd rather not spend the money to buyout a coach if their contract is going to end in a year or two and spend the money on what the school needs.

The AD has to be held accountable for so many programs in the tank.

We don’t seem to be going in the right direction with no end in site. Women’s programs are especially hurting with the men doing slightly better but both are in need of a makeover. I follow many of ou

Last 4 complete seasons on the women’s side of the house in soccer, softball, and volleyball in conference play only these teams have a combined winning percentage of just 27%.  OUCH!  The current sta

Volleyball the three years our current coach has been here:

conference record of 9-9 in 2022

conference record of 4-12 in 2023

conference record of 2-14 in 2024

Doesn’t look like we are in a positive trajectory and as new recruits are brought in doesn’t look like it is working.

In 2022 we lost our last six conference games and then lost the conference playoff game. We got beat 3-0 in our last five conference games. Free fall 

our two wins in 2024 were over ORU - the last place team. We won 10 sets in our 14 conference losses. Note that one of our best players got hurt in 2024.

 I hope coach can turn it around. Doesn’t appear to be any accountability in this programs and others.

Exactly!

The whole argument here is about consistency. Why do some coaches (every other one) that are just as bad and have just as bad of programs get contract extensions while the soccer coach that has an outstanding Title 9 complaint has his contract let expire.
 

I definitely don’t see any potential issues there :whistling: continued poor management by Chaves and his boys

There are some coaches with poor records for sure but show me which ones are sub 30% overall win percentage.  Also I believe our soccer coach wasn’t given a 8 year contract out of the gate so he must have been given an extension.  
 

I am not arguing for the other coaches.  I’m arguing that our AD finally lets someone go and some try to argue it wasn’t because of performance.  The teams record was below poor.  Now on to the next one.  In some of these sports you aren’t buying out a coach with our budget.

Women’s sports under Chaves has been disaster we have been close to having winning program since he has entered position of AD. Also all the coaches are his hirings and at volleyball ball on his second hiring.this is not track record to be proud of prior to his coming here we had several championships in volleyball, basketball, and we’re top one or two in soccer. There has been no push by athletic department to improve performance. I have to believe Chaves hasn’t held winning as priority but other performances by players and coaches for the program but bottom line winning is ultimate goal especially at division I level.

Our basketball teams have shown some good and some bad. Should both finish above 500. Kinda a low bar.

The title 9 complaint concerns me - hopefully that gets settled soon. I don’t know the process though. Just not a good look for the University.

After some underwhelming performances against Omaha for both basketball teams tonight I have moved my needle back to not being happy with our leadership 

I’ve been pointed that direction for a while. I’m optimistic for football now at least.

Chaves sure doesn't put much effort into his job.  Just hire the associate head coach. Same thing he did with Mal and the women's basketball team.   She Sat as a assistant coach and played at und. Check check. Win 2 games as interim coach!  you are hired!  I want his job

Chaves needs to go. One of the worst hiring track records of any AD ever.

He hasn’t made a single good hire. Get him out of here

Chaves doesn't care about a soccer hire. I don't think coaches are lining up to coach soccer in Grand Forks either so this might have been the only option.

Thats not the point. He has put the same effort in every sport. I don't believe at all he was the one that got our football coach. Others got Schmidt and Chaves was told who to hire.  When he makes decisions there is no effort and he doesn't have the connections he thinks he does. His hires show that.

Do you know who else applied?

The rumored finalists from the bigsoccer forum. Glad they didn't go with Fraser as their are not great rumors about him from his last school. 

 

Henrik Sohn- current interim and former HC at Kansas Wesleyan
Travis Clarke- former St Marys HC, current volunteer coach at Cal Sonoma
Max Weber- Boise State assistant
Sean Fraser- Jacksonville State HC

If there are indeed the finalists we hired the weakest.
