I was under the impression that the locker room was divided because of some of the issues, which would mean not all were in step lock.

Yeah the rumors were that the locker room was divided and that the players had more respect for Jackson supposedly. 
I guess we’ll see how this all shakes out.

The UND coaching tree isn't producing jack sh&t.  Move on

Fresh mind - I agree!   A breathe of fresh air would be nice

Sioux fans, we should fully be prepared for us to be ass next year. Guys are going to sign, and boys are transferring out. We’ll be lucky to keep our recruits.

Maybe our next coach will win the natty with Berry’s recruits :)

The "new coach bump" is real and we have seen it with Hakstol and Berry.

I theorize it's also part of the reason for the high turnover in the NHL.

Guessing our AD doesn’t have much if any hockey background? If that’s to be the case, would he lean on anyone knowledgeable in the college hockey world to help in the screening and decision making process? 

That's my #1 concern. It would only make sense for him to form a small group or have an advisor who can assist him with finding the best possible candidate. Not doing so would leave too much room for error. This next hire will define his career, he'll either be remembered fondly for this or the peasants will draw & quarter him.

By far the best UND head coach in my era:

Dean Blais.

Was 44 when he was hired at UND.

....to continue our statistics class from the other day.

These years are related to what is called a "bell curve."

The players were informed at a team meeting Sunday night.

Dane Jackson will serve as the program's interim head coach. Jackson has been an assistant with the program for the last 19 years.

Berry had one year left on his contract. According to his contract, UND will owe him $493,500.

Not a bad parting gift...half a mil to go relax for a bit.

I have doubts that Chaves is up to the task as well. I would surmise he is leaning heavily on Erik Martinson for help with this. Erik seems to be pretty dialed into college hockey and is most likely helping Chaves drive the ship here.

Looks like the new coach is going to have to win over Schlossman. He’s throwing a fit like we haven’t seen since women’s hockey was dropped.

Right. Just shut up and drop the candidates list. Everyone already knew what was in that article

He did in both of his articles

It’s possible, at some point, UND fans may actually experience a bad season.

Teams have been since January trying to get players  on the team to get in the portal, and 5 teams are already trying to flip a recruit.

Since @brianvf locked up the Fire Berry thread I had to screenshot this with credit to @Big A HG

IMO this and only this needed to be the reason for the change.

Schloss can go on and on about other points but this is not what this university's flagship sport should look like over the past decade. Zero reasons this team should not be one of 16 teams in the NCAAs every year. One NCAA win in the last 9 seasons. Once again UND fans will roll into Scheels this week for a regional only to watch four teams that doesn't include UND. Not to mention more empty seats in the Ralph nightly than I've seen in any year past plus the student section chanting "Fire Berry" on multiple nights.

I ‘member when UND had the longest 20 win streak. Only for it to end in 2017.

For a stunning period of time, like 20 years starting in 1997, UND's season would end one of three ways:

- loss to eventual national champion (one layer away) 
- loss to team whose season is ended by eventual national champion (two layers away)
- as national champion (zero layers away) 

Last year was three layers away (to Mich, to BC, to DU) and that's as close as UND's been for a while..

The podcast will be a must-listen this week. Not only do you have this which could easily make for 1-2 episodes of content, but you also have the NCAAs to discuss

Schloss makes the comment that UND just fired the most successful coach on campus. Which in my opinion says more about athletics as a whole. If your best coach gets fired what does that have to say about the rest of them 

Says more about their manager.

I wonder if spending money to host regionals and not being in them twice in a row played a part in this.

3 if you want to count Sioux Falls
