Popular Post Irish Posted March 31 Popular Post Posted March 31 So in summary - Our program is a underachieving mess and we fire the coach. Then we had a chance to go with a young up and comer to turn this program around but elected to go with a coach who has been with the program for 19 years after supposedly a bunch of players said they would leave if he wasn't hired. We hire him and then almost all of our studs promptly leave. You can't make this up. We have to be the most inbred athletic program in the country. 1 9 Quote

There's no telling that Boisvert would have stayed regardless of who was coach. Maybe he felt that what was going on with the hockey program was too much of a distraction or that his offensive skills would flourish more in a run-& gun offense in Boston. No one knows for certain his motivation for leaving. Don't want a player whose heart isn't in it. If a player doesn't want to be loyal or patient to a team in transition, then maybe it's a good thing he left. 3 1 Quote

Given that someone here posted back in February these players had already selected their team, it seems unlikely that there is any correlation between their departures and the firing of Berry, hiring of Jackson or any player input into that process. 4 Quote

At some point, if there wasn’t a back stabbing, how long would the program go on being run into the ground? Everyone else could see the program drifting into mediocrity except the administration. Something needed to be done to wake them up to that reality. Quote

Everyone else could see the program drifting into mediocrity except the administration. Something needed to be done to wake them up to that reality. As long as the players do well in the classroom and in the community, it doesn't matter. That's the attitude of the current athletic department regime. Wins and losses are irrelevant. It is quite sad. And 100% unacceptable. Quote
nascar99 Posted April 1 Posted April 1 While another step back in the Pairwise would be somewhat understandable, most fans won't accept it. Jackson and staff have to be working hard to make sure a Wisconsin esque decline does not continue. Quote

I think you've finally passed gfhockey for the most tired/overused schtick on the board. At least he misspells different words so we know he's at least not copying and pasting everything. And his comes with some originality from time to time and the occasional informational tidbit. We all get your stance (and then some). No need to continue to argue against points no one is making. And yeah, no one is telling you to be quiet or accept mediocritity, because we all know you won't do that. You've made that abundantly clear. And no one is. 5 Quote

How else can the athletic department's talking points get out to the fans? Even if I don't agree with them, they should be allowed to be heard by all. Quote
