Fire Berry Please!

[fightingsioux4life]

Time for a true national search. Advertise widely. Get a good sized group of applicants. Narrow it down to three finalists. Pick one and tell him to build the program however he sees fit

Once he met you he called you by name the next time he saw you.

My sister was assistant to his broker, so they would talk on the phone and what not. 
One time when I was back home visiting GF my sister arranged a meeting where Tom
gave me a personal guided tour of the Ralph; locker rooms, all the fancy rooms, everything.
I couldn't believe it. I was kind of embarrassed that this guy would take 2 hours out of I'm 
sure his busy day to give some nobody like me a tour. I'll never, ever forget his generosity.

The latest they can change out an AD would be around December IMHO. In this current climate, you have to have a new HC in place almost immediately after you announce their predecessor’s dismissal. Basketball and hockey can’t have lame duck coaches during their respective early portal windows. Hopefully the way they handled football proves Armacost understands this dynamic. 

Agreed. 

There has been nothing on the basketball coaches. If you were going to make a move it probably should have been made already. No announcement of an extension either. (Which Sather, Mal, and Berry don’t deserve) When Mal and Sather were extended last time it was announce Mar 14th. So it does appear there is a chance they let them coach on the last year of their contract, which is crazy to think about.

Armacost should be the one handling this. Chaves has allowed the department to rot and it is his running of the show that has led to UND athletics significantly underperforming. The AD shouldn’t be allowed to try and bail himself out of this and should go as well (or even before) as these coaches.

I hope to hear Brad Berry utter these words soon, "F^*%kin' Chrysler Plant here I come!"

I thought Bubba was supposed to be a problem solver now and mentoring current coaches , I’m not sure exactly what his daily duties are

Then my apologies to Yzerman for misunderstanding.   Sorry 

yes, I could've and should've been clearer.  I was talking about NDSU football.  My fault for not being clear.  Apology accepted fully and not needed.

You are always smashed, but never believable. Are you Mark Kauk? 

Mark Kauk was a beauty...I hope he's still around.  I know his buddy Gretzky passed a few years back.

So are we confident if it doesn’t happen tomorrow that it just won’t happen? I mean I would imagine you want to get it done with. 

Portal opens on the 30th. So if there is a move, it’ll be early this week.

Berry is going into the last year of his contract. I think he stays and this is his final season. Retires or just leaves, he goes out on his own terms. 

[78 und grad]

Berry wont go anywhere right now. He’ll finish his last year. Then ride off into the sunset. He doesnt need to work.

If Berry doesn’t leave, doesn’t something have to give?  Swap out one or more of the assistant coaches?  Bring in Chyzyk as GM?  We have one NCAA tourney win in four years. This is the definition of insanity if we go another year without changes. 

[TwamleyShuffle]

Berry is out according to the herald

[yzerman19]

I thought Gretzky passed away.  Good to hear he's still kicking it.  Kauker used to know my stats better than I did back in peewee : )

Time for thread to be wrapped in a bow and buried in the past.

[1972]

That happened WAY faster than I thought it would

[brianvf]

Change made. Looks like the SS.com posters got their wish. 
Now a change needs to be made soon, get all the players and recruits on board. 
Time to move
