Fire Berry Please!

[SIOUXELEVENS]

This team has way too much talent to play this poorly at times. Time to retire coach Berry if you really care about the culture.

Berry is a selfish and greedy human , no chance he resigns.  Cares way more about himself then the program.  I suggest we all stop going to games and watching until he is gone.  This team went from blue blood to laughing stock wtf

He doesn’t care enough about the culture to step down. Like any person you will continue to collect your paycheck. This will come down to if the president has the balls to make the change because Chaves kisses Berrys ass.

Great to hear him talk about stick habits.  Great defensive teams have good stick habits at all times.  Maybe he would be a good replacement for Berry.

I honestly worry about Chaves finding a new coach if and when that happens. But Matt Smaby seems like a good choice. Would he be interested though?

If they ever end up hiring a new coach…they need to open the wallet. It has to be a huge hire…smaby may be a bit new to the whole scene.

I'm just a dumb message board guy, but I’ve been beating this drum for what, 4-5 seasons now…

Can you honestly tell me that no one on this well-paid coaching staff notices the epidemic of goals allowed by North Dakota teams less than 2:00 into a period or with less than 2:00 left in a period?  

[SIOUXELEVENS]

Is there any good reason to keep Berry other then the 500,000? Changing an assistant has been done before and same results. No playoffs in the REA and not a full arena for most of the year has to being costing more then 500,000.

At the end of the day , no.

That’s what I thought.  Last night’s two in one game…chef’s kiss, Brad, chef’s kiss.

[SIOUXELEVENS]

Hey fellas be on your toes for the first and last minute we seem to give up goals in that time frame. How hard is that   

[BusinessSoot]

Predictions……

Berry retained one more year, KG let go, a CHL coach is hired to replace KG. And I’m not so sure Simpson was a good hire based on his lack of coaching experience and the on ice defensive results this year. So maybe he goes as well ?

I get the vibe that Jackson would be a more respected head coach than current one amongst not only the current roster, but past players as well. How much more are the alumni/donors going to put up with current situation  is the question,  before Chaves has an angry army that he can’t ignore any longer….

Also, Hail to the Vicotors becomes new fight song for one or more on the current UND roster.

Let’s not bring up Jackson again. That would be as insane as extending Berry. We could be one week away from a hard reset this program so desperately needs.

Agreed, he will do whatever his boss tells him to do. I don’t believe he has an original idea on how to do his job.

Time for a hard reset. New coaches across the board.

[SIOUXELEVENS]

There is no good reason to keep any of the current staff unless the new coach wants to retain one of them. This program needs a reboot.

The empty seats thing doesn't matter as what 75% of the seats are season ticket holders and the money is already in the bank.   Now if season ticket sales started to drop drastically that argument could hold.

This entire athletic department needs a reboot. That means Chaves must go before all our programs finish in last place every year.

But apparel , food and beer sales suffer.

We’re a week or two from absolutes.

• No home ice

• Make the Frozen Faceoff?

• Make the NCAA tournament 

• Win a tournament game

• Make Frozen Four

• Win National title 

Again, bringing up Bubba. The question I have is once you have a large enough body of work, does your coaching tenure ultimately come down to one game? IF the Football team beat Illinois State & finished 6-6, would Bubba still be coaching? IMO, not getting home ice is a big deal. I’m a believer that it’ll come down to a game. If they don’t make it to St. Paul or if they do and lose the first night. Berry won’t be coaching at UND next year. If they make it to the Championship and lose, I think he’s back, no extension. If they make a run and make NCAAs, extension.
