Berry knows that having her on his side is beneficial to him staying and the hockey program getting what they want.

The problem with that arrangement is that it fails to align with the fan bases desires......  post season success.   If KEM & BB were hanging green banners and constantly in the hunt, then all would be well in mudville.   That said, ignoring the game score and ramifications, the on ice performance is pretty distasteful at the moment.

I'm surprised someone hasn't mentioned Jonathan Toews' name in this conversation.

Is he well? I want Jon to take care of Jon first.

Last update I saw Jonny was doing auwasca trips in Bolivian sweatlodges or something.....

Not really sure he's the answer to coaching durability quite yet

You are correct in that statement but I am sure Berry's rebuttal will be his league titles and his average of 20+ wins a season.

He entered my mind, not sure coaching is his forte or desire but he is a winner.  I would be excited to have captain serious guiding the program.  But yeah, personal issues are is immediate concern.  I didn't hear about Bolivia or iawasca(sp), but something about healing tied to India.   Whatever works, more power and good thoughts to him.  He was one of my favorite players.

That falls outside of post season success.  Go undefeated every year and exit with a first round play off loss every year is nobody's idea of a good time.

You don't need to convince me, I am just thinking of what he would say to keep his job and to the average individual he has a pretty good resume.


1 NCAA title

5 league titles

4 Herb Brooks Coach of the year

1 USCHO Coach of the year

1 Spencer Penrose Award

I would like to see more shots from unexpected players, angles, and the creation of garbage in front of net. 

Unexpected players?  Like players on the bench?  ;) 
The problem with unexpected angle shots is that you have to hit the net...otherwise there's a good chance that the puck will ring around the boards and out of the zone. 
I agree about the garbage though...they do need to start shooting if there is a good chance...they're caught in a "one more pass" mentality right now, trying to set up the perfect shot when most of the times they could just get the puck on net and hope for a juicy rebound.

A simple internet search shows Kris Mayotte's salary at $240K and Brad Berry's at $464K. 

$325k in 2023

If course it would be a jump, but still not a being enough jump to get him to UND. Maybe he goes to Michigan sometime since he’s coached there before, but let’s not put our self on an eternal pedestal.
 

I’d actually love to be proven wrong because him ending up here would be remarkable for our program. Our recruiting of talent is better than what a lot of people on here are saying, but the inability to get that talent to succeed is the massive problem (dead horse beaten)

Same with blind passes from the end wall to the front of the net.   And why they don't make that pass nearly as much as they do in HS.

UND has more money and backing at their disposal than CC, of course it would be a big leap from CC.

He have kids?  Choosing where to raise your kids, if you have options, is a big deal.

Yes but that has nothing to do with levels of CC program vs UND’s. If you are comparing the two programs against each other, UND is much more enticing than CC.

Kids or no kids obviously has nothing to do with the programs themselves.  Not my point.
