I think Ryan Day needs to at least make the semifinals to cool his coaching seat off. That program has not been quite the same since Urban Meyer stepped down.

Who knows what would happen to Ryan Day but the fans have every right to be upset with the way the program is.

I'd rather see a change at AD than the head hockey coach. Honestly, I don't care; the program is better off than when I arrived on campus in 1993. That was a dumpster fire. At the beginning of the season, I predicted this team would be in the Frozen Four when the season ends. If not I will owe @MafiaMan and @Godsmack a dinner at the Texas Roadhouse. I am glad it's not my decision. Berry's Record is 217-111-34, and his teams have won four of the last five NCHC regular season titles. He's not a bad coach. Are we expecting too much? Are we being unreasonable? I don't know. I am not there yet.  

I’d agree with you that the AD needs to be gone and I’d also agree with you that Berry is not a bad coach.

John Cooper got canned for not beating Michigan. Postseason success might be Day's salvation.

Hopefully, they will push, and this isn't just talk. Some changes need to be made. I personally, like Bubba, he's a decent human being, but we're stuck in a rut. 

Just wondering when you would consider it a rut for hockey like it was for football. Both seem to get to the playoffs but just can’t make the next level.

Seems like folks have high respect for how Goon feels about UND hockey.

Gino did more for UND with less than Berry has.  The end of Gino's tenure was not good, but with a new coach, things quickly turned around again.  What I want is to get rid of Berry before it starts looking like how it ended for Gino.  He's had plenty of time to improve things, but it's more of the same.  NCHC regular season titles are weak sauce and drastically overstated.  There's a reason only three different teams have won a regular season NCHC title in 11 seasons.  This program is predicated on post-season success, not regular season.
