Wren Blair was the first coach of the North Stars. He liked speed, and he liked pressure. Also he wanted the team to be just like him. Flamboyant. Blair was later followed by a coach named John Muckler, he had never coached in the NHL before so he was screaming all the time and intimidating. He tried to motivate the team but ended up doing the opposite. He was a horrible coach. Skipping ahead a few years Lou Nanne became the new coach of the 77-78 season. He had some experience with coaching the University of Minnesota for a few years.
