They keep saying Ben Barr The cost of firing Bob, buying out Barr, and signing him to a new contract would be very steep. Likely well over $2 million. That’s also if Barr is willing to leave Maine for Minnesota. Quote

Godsmack Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Would it be possible that the Gophers go after David Carle? Would he even be interested if courted? Edit: or Pat Ferschweiller? He’s from Rochester, MN. Quote
Popular Post brianvf Posted February 9 Popular Post Posted February 9 Carle isn’t leaving DU for another NCAA job IMO. He hasn’t even left for NHL opportunities the last few times he was offered. 6 Quote

TwamleyShuffle Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Maybe the negative of our coaching hire seemingly being a success is that UMinn follows suit and fires Bob? Bringing up Pat as a new coach would be something likely positive. Haven’t thought about it that way. Quote
atxsioux Posted February 9 Posted February 9 The success in year 1 that Dane and Co has had in my head makes me think it’s makes Bob’s seat slightly hotter. 2 2 Quote

Also, why go to minnesota when you can continue to coach your alma mater in a better conference with better facilities? 2 4 Quote

Fair point. i brought it up because I experienced it when the Gophers were able to poach Don Lucia from CC. I get it-CC’s a much smaller school and program than Western but they had an incredible run in the mid to late 90’s winning 4 McNaughton cups in a row and back to back FF appearances and I’m sure that was a very attractive draw for the gophers similar to the recent success of the Broncos. I’m sure the Gophs will go poaching if/when Motzko leaves. Just a matter of who they’ll go after. Perhaps Raboine? Quote

I just think where Fersch is at this point in his career, he'd gladly take an almost sure lifetime position in a town he loves with a brand new facility over the pressure that would come with being the HC at Minnesota. I could be wrong, but if he were 15 years younger i'd be more worried. 5 Quote

He won back to back natty’s within his first couple years as Gophers coach and then how the sentiment changed as years went by and how much Gophers fans wanted a change. Quote

I hope the clarification helped, but I also don’t want to make enemies or piss people off on a site where the aim is to simply have fun talking UND sports. Not even pissed. I just think when our crude comments involve family, we have crossed a line. I realize a fan forum usually doesn’t have limits but I feel we are better than that. 2 3 Quote
