You are an idiot if you think that is an apples to apples comparison

Could be one of the dumbest posts on the Gopher Hockey Forum of all time. And that is saying something.

Name a football coach at the U who has done better since Murray Warmath.

PJ Fleck, Nico Medved, Dawn Plitzuweit.

Oh, I agree 100% I want the Gophs to swing for the fences. I want them to try big time. I was simply conceding the point that St Cloud's success when Motzko departed is not the same as WMUs or Denver's success now. Still think we should give it a shot for sure.

I agree with you. It is different.

Yes but he had some success there and the question was about D1 coaches leaving their alma mater to coach elsewhere. At the time he was looked at as a very successful coach. Left his alma mater. Not sure of your point.

Because it is apples and oranges. If you coach hockey here, you better damn well be successful. Do you really think that Fleck, or Medved, or or any other coach at the U of MN has the built in advantages that our hockey program has? I could list those advantages but we all know what they...

Look no further than Bob Motzko. Left St. Cloud to join the Gophs.

This has to be a good day for you. Enjoy. We all should.

Probably in the ballpark. But if we hire anyone other than Raboin, without first talking to Carle or Pat F, that would be unforgiveable. In other words, if Raboin is announced today or soon, then all is well. If Barr or Potulny are announced without a search where we contact the other two...

Maybe. I think you are right actually. But we have to take a BIG SWING here.

The question was "who would you want?" Not... who do you think will take the job. Also - the same attitude that you bash people for at the U is on display in your post. Why WOULDN'T you reach out to all of these guys? We need to recognize that we have what should be the best job in...

Fair question. I've included a sense of realism here or my choice #3 would be higher. Yeah, I know #3 is not likely to come here. Also - most hockey guys know who these people are but I am spelling it out in case some don't follow it that closely. 1) Garrett Raboin, HC at Augustana. Has...

I'm betting on one of two things: 1) Bob announcing his retirement, or 2) Bob being placed into a different role in the athletic dept (like they did with Doug Woog many years ago). Could go either way on a new coach being announced at the same time. My guess is that won't happen...

This is why message boards exist. Now I will be refreshing this site every 30 seconds for the next two days.

Okay, thanks. Who are those "number of people?" I have not seen that opinion on this board, nor have I heard it from any Gopher Hockey faithful. I think Slim is right in his earlier post... I think the fact that Coyle is not accepting this performance on the women's side means he is well...

I think that's more the logic I'd follow with this move too.

Not following that logic. Why would this have anything to do with the men? How would this move be an excuse? You can only change one coach per year? Sometimes people bash Coyle for not making hard decisions. I don't understand that. He fired Tracy Claeys and brought in PJ Fleck. He...

Thanks
