jjensen Posted January 4 Posted January 4 2 hours ago, HockeyHawk said: If there are indeed the finalists we hired the weakest. Again this is a rumor on from another forum but there’s a lot of people active there that hear things or are involved in Women’s college soccer. And I personally think it’s a really weak group regardless of who was picked. 3 out of the 4 seem to have some possible connection to the program or Chaves too. Sohn was already here. Clarke has/does coach for Legends out in CA where a lot of the CA players on the roster played. Also Clarke had Josh Davis as an assistant some time before he was briefly at UND as an assistant. Weber had some time at EWU, don’t know if there’s an overlap with Chaves though. So it just seems like a real lazy process to me If this was the pool it’s hard to pick a favorite but would have liked to see ether Associate Head Coach get it. Clarke probably 2 or 3 choice, never really seemed to get over 7 wins, so on par or slightly above our current level. Would hope they attempted to get any of the MN D2 schools that have some success but doubt it if this is the finalists. 1 Quote
HockeyHawk Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Sounds like the writing is on the wall for Stevens this Softball season. On a more positive note the additions to the Pollard look great from the outside. Once finished it will be a nice setup in that part of campus. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 UND is in position to fire their FB, hockey, MBB and WBB all within one academic calendar. That’s nuts. Quote

That's the result of complacency and rationalizing away mediocrity for years. A total housecleaning is nuts, but also necessary. #firechaves 3 Quote
Green Banner Posted February 8 Posted February 8 UND has become a middle of the pack at best in all sports. All never seem to win big games such as rivalry games or have any playoff success 1 Quote

There are five coaches that should be sent packing: Hockey, MBB, WBB, VB and softball. Track and field is doing great. FB and soccer have newly hired coaches who need time to prove themselves. But the biggest change that needs to be made is at the top of the department. Chaves must go. Quote

Track and Field is still pretty bad in the summit league, they are just less bad than every other sport. Quote

AJS Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Loss by Loss. This mantra worked in giving hope to the football program. It now needs to be employed for Hockey and W/M Basketball. Given everything that's going on right now in collegiate athletics, turning over the AD wouldn't be ideal. The one thing I'll say about Chaves and hiring. This applied for Football and applies for Hockey and W Basketball. They cannot do worse than they have right now. IMO, he nailed the Football hiring. Let's not let him hold this back. Loss by Loss! 2 Quote

ND-fan Posted Sunday at 10:38 PM Posted Sunday at 10:38 PM I have question I believe it was reported that President Armacost had input on football hiring if that was true. I had to believe Armacost had to approve additional money and commitment for football. The other major sports needs similar commitments and changes in these programs like football received this December for the coming year. I know there are posters that are in know what is happening and how university address the problems in athletic department. This has to be communicated to public because people are loosing good will.
