As a St Cloud State grad disappointed Bob Motzko would take a job with the enemy and not sure why the Gophers would choose a guy with a record of losing big games in the NCAA tournament. I guess it came down to money that's ok NCHC is not going any Go Huskies
Mark Hall why would Coach Bob consider the gophers the enemy? He was an assistant there, talked with Lucia regularly.. to him this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.. I'm sad he left scsu, but I don't begrudge him for leaving..
He also tried to make the team twice as a kid. He didn't make the cut but they welcomed him back as a coach. Minnesota is the Kentucky of College Hockey, top dollars, top facilities, and they always get the top prospects in the #1 hockey state in the country. Why WOULDN'T he take the job? Its a case of being made an offer you cant refuse. Coach Motzko obviously wanted to be a Gopher from day 1..Now he is going to have his chance to lead them on the ice. We cant wait to see his high energy team in maroon and gold!!!
They did give him a substantial salary boost, I wouldn't be too hard on the guy, it was a lot of money to turn down. Still I understand the pain, As n MNSU Grad, if Mike Hastings had been given the job I would be just as mad.
Excited to see how he does with a new program, What a great program he built in St Cloud
2:24. Funny they say he’s all about relationships
