He earned a chance with his loyalty, hoping for the best. Land a big name for your first commit.

I seriously like it's time to look at replacing the AD!

 

for a guy that was brought in from "outside the family"  .....he sure likes hiring from "inside the family"

Yes, the article said that he was offered a HC job in the AHL.

Jackson has turned down opportunities to go to the NHL as an assistant coach and the American Hockey League as a head coach.

Certainly wasn’t my first choice. Disappointing to see like a UND/GF tie was requirement to be a finalist. No Barr or Raboin are disappointing but not sure they’d let it out if they were finalist due to effect on their current job. Hope for the best under Jackson but need to see a lot of change.

More than once I think. His name came up frequently for job openings during the Hakstol era.

so he's content....maybe worse.

Loyal to the green & white.
I'm guessing he loves the university, town, and college coaching.

To be fair, the PK was great every other year (when Dane also coached it).  It was horrendous to start the year, probably didn't help losing the team's best PKer and shot blocker right out of the gate)...but did get better the last few months.  We'll see.  I'm guessing this year was more of an anomaly.

Now, does Jackson retain Karl and Simpson or does he bring in new supporting staff?

I'm guessing we'll see all new.

I would assume and really hope he is cleaning house and putting a new staff together. Chaves probably was easy to convince but you would have to at least try to sell the fact you are trying to change things
