Time will tell if this is the right choice. But  will he promote the Fighting Hawks or just say North Dakota  hockey. The hockey program needs to move on.

I'm not a betting man but I'm guessing it will be Fighting Sioux only for a bit longer.

If he goes with an entirely new staff it will indicate that he's committed to winning, even if it means letting go of friends. Which is difficult. But his first loyalty is to the team & its success, not any individual staff or players. 

If he retains everybody, it will indicate that he has an element of softness that BB had, indicating that he's unwilling or unable to make hard decisions.

Never liked it.  Gopher fans use it like a slur.

They use everything as a slur.  How many times did I hear Sioux suck, or Sue this, or something of the sort.

Some more good news popping real soon! 😄

What was the previous good news? 
Just kidding, I am willing to give Dane a chance. I hope he goes down as an all-time great coach at UND.

Okay I'm thinking Chaves was bullied into giving HC to Jax by the players.

So you're saying the players of a 5th place team bullied the University into hiring the assistant of a coach who was just fired?;)  Goddammit, you just can't make it up.

I mean i guess he deserves a shot. Probably will have a short leash. At least we shouldn't risk any players choosing elsewhere with the coaching change. Let's find a good associate  coach. I don't think Karl deserves that just yet

Karl needs to go. How can you expect players to live in grand forks when you and your family don’t

That could be true. KEM could have done the same. Who knows. Something that I have been thinking about and I don’t know what the right answer is. When do you release a college hockey coach and have the time to make the best hire? It’s not right that the portal opens before the tournament is over. You don’t have the time unless you already made your decision before the end of the season who is going to be the replacement. It sucks.
