  • Doug Woog vs. Dave Hakstol

    For many years North Dakota fans have gone out of their way to say bad things about Doug Woog every time his name comes up in conversation, basing pretty much their entire argument on the fact that he never coached a team to a national championship victory. Funny thing about that, the same can be said of Dave Hakstol.

    Now, in my opinion those two coaches both had very successful careers at the college level. While neither one of them won a national championship, their teams were contenders pretty much year in and year out. Every year there are a handful of very good teams but only one of them can win a national championship. There is something to be said for consistently being among the top five to ten in the nation. Just thought I'd throw this out there for discussion...

    How are they similar? How are they different? How do their achievements compare to one another? Who was the better coach? I think the best way to get fair and unbiased opinions is to exclude North Dakota fans as well as Gopher fans from the discussion. I'm looking for completely objective opinions.
    National championships won by Big Ten schools : 23 (Michigan 9, Wisconsin 6, Minnesota 5, Michigan State 3, Ohio State 0, Penn State 0, Notre Dame 0)
    National championships won by NCHC schools : 21 (North Dakota 8, Denver 8, MN-Duluth 3, Colorado College 2, St. Cloud State 0, Miami 0, NE-Omaha 0, Western Michigan 0)

    23 > 21

      They both failed to win it all at the college level, but One became a head coach in the NHL and the other is cuddling with Frank Mazzacco on a beach in France.

        Similarities? Both successful college coaches who never won the national title
        Differences? After college hockey one became a joke of a broadcaster and the other became the head coach of a NHL team.

          Wooger has a personality.

          Hakstol is the least personable human to ever coach hockey at any level.

            One has more hockey knowledge (and anecdotes). The other is still in coaching.

              Ask any of Hak's former players if he's one of the least personable humans in hockey... ask people who have got to meet Hak at fundraisers... ask my friend's kid who loved seeing Hakstol every year at the UND fan experience. They would all tell you that you have no clue what you are talking about. Of course, those of us on this forum already knew that. Doug Woog was a bumbling buffoon on-air and should have taken his "personality" elsewhere.

                The question was who's the better coach. I'd rather date Woog for that personality.

                      Technically, darker is correct. It was the question. One of four, but it was one of THE questions asked.

                        And so was "how are they different". So there's that.

                        Additionally, the original poster requested that no gopher or nodak fans participate.

                        think the best way to get fair and unbiased opinions is to exclude North Dakota fans as well as Gopher fans from the discussion.

                          Let one Fawker fan post as long as it's willy - imagining him scrunching his brain coming up with his next Gophers gotcha is priceless.
