Sounds like it. It is good that alumni support the institution that gave them their start in life.

Really? - Berry's needs to get a team to play the full 60 every game.  We often take time to coast and lose focus - this is a huge problem - see last year's regionals where for some reason we didn't come out of the locker room to start the 3rd.  His record in regionals is pathetic.

I thought I laid the sarcasm down pretty thick, but I guess not.

I pre-emptively posted that.....good news is I was wrong!  Four more years!

Jim Montgomery is now out of a job.

Hockey is supposed to be the crown jewel of the athletic department and they arent even that good.  One championship in 20+ years.  The standards in the AD are so low

He has the same # of NCAA titles as a head coach as Berry though.  That'd just be an even trade.
If we're gonna poach a DU coach, it would have to be the best coach in the world.  David Carle, of course.

I think I saw that his NHL winning percentage with Boston was .715...not too shabby.

There isn't an athletic department in the country that tolerates mediocrity, all while funding excessively like the University of North Dakota.  

See U of Iowa football.

5 years as a head coach, 2 frozen fours, 1 title and not missing the national tournament. Not really the same as Berrys record. However, if you took Berrys first 5 years vs Montgomery’s, I’d take Montgomery.

I thought all we cared about was the Natty? 

1 title = 1 title 

[SIOUXELEVENS]

I’m afraid Berry has a few more years of missing the NCAA’s or exiting early before the AD would even think of replacing him.

I do like national titles but being consistent and getting to the national tournament (and winning some games) is the first step.

That's what we had with Hakstol every year, but every season there was a Fire Hakstol thread regardless.

I saw that number and noticed it was regulation wins, was he 0 fer 38 in OT?  I tire of people manipulating everything to twist my whiskers.

The "Fire the Coach" diatribe is a running joke on message boards,  likely never change as long as fans live vicariously through the actions of others.

You’re 100% correct that people always wanted Hak fired and now they are the same ones that want him back.

I admire your memory skills, I remember my opinion on the matter, but who said what, not a glimmer of individual recognition.

So you're saying his OT numbers were a little subpar?

Maybe some (like customers, fans are supremely discontent), but things aren’t nearly as black and white as everyone on the boards seems to recall or overly-generalize. I never wanted to fire Hak, even if it was head scratching how things always fell apart at the F4. But I’d definitely trade a Berry for a Hak today, even if it meant maybe they don’t win the NC in 16’. Very hard to imagine the program wouldn’t have had greater year-to-year success, and be in a better position today.

BUT it ain’t happening, so…we get to watch the team struggle to get back to where they were until some day when Berry hopefully figures it out. OR (and this is me, and many others), gradually lose interest, invest less time and financial support, and relegate ourselves to hoping to be surprised with some success instead of expecting it. A big bummer when the scales tip toward disappointment instead of joy, but thankfully there are tons of other sources of entertainment, especially for those of us outside of GFK. 
 

It wouldn’t hurt for us all to keep in mind though that everyone here cares (or they wouldn’t be on a fan forum), supports UND in their own way, and wants the team to succeed even if we have different opinions about what that entails.
