Agreed. Why would a booster push for a former Bulldog and current head coach of SCSU with an average track record to be our head coach. That’s a booster we don’t need.
Why would Barr possibly say no? Do you even understand our place in the college hockey universe? We are Alabama in football, Duke in basketball. You need to take a breath. When was the last time someone turned down the Gopher hockey job? It hasn’t happened in my lifetime. Raboin is our next coach.
In what world would Raboin turn down this job to stay at Augustana? I truly believe a deal was pretty much done maybe even before the announcement of Motzko leaving.
Raboin is our next coach. He is currently coaching a team whose season is still going. If you think he has worked in coaching the last 15 years to finally be offered his dream job and he turned it down then you’re delusional. He has to say the right things right now as coach of Augustana.
Calm...
If that’s true then we’re better off without him and we dodged a bullet. A great coach should want the pressure of coaching at an elite program. If he wants to stay at Augustana over Minnesota then fine. I still don’t believe it though it makes no sense whatsoever.
Minneapolis is historically one of the safest large cities in America. bonin21 is just a hayseed who reads headlines. There’s a reason he was banned from GPL.
On the coaching search, I refuse to believe Raboin would turn down the chance to coach Minnesota to stay at frickin Augustana. Sorry...
You sound like an ignorant hillbilly. I live in Minneapolis and absolutely love it. I’ve never once felt unsafe in the least. Minneapolis is rated at or near the top of the best large cities to live in nationwide year after year.
Get a damn clue.
Welcome and I agree, we're not getting him.
But the bolded statement is laughable. Does Yale, Providence, Umass, Union, and Quinnipiac have a ceiling as high as Minnesota? The answer is clearly no and they've all won titles since we have.
I find it hard to believe we can't pay more than Western Michigan but I have no idea what his current salary is. Ferschweiler is probably very happy there anyways. Inquiring would make sense but I'm not getting my hopes up.
I think it will be Barr or Raboin.
