Re: UNH Wildcats 2015-2016 (Part Two) - Managing Decreasing Expectations
Please re-read my post. I think we are talking in parallel universes. My criticism of Bomber's post is based on his statement that, if Umile had the good of the program at heart, he would have resigned 5-7 years ago. Watcher, I don't know where you work or whether or not you are the boss, but the thought that a guy in his late 50's, as successful as he has been would look in the mirror and unilaterally say, "you know, i can't do the job anymore, the guys on USCHO are right, I should quit" is beyond ludicrous. Seven years ago was 2009, the year after they were a number one seed in Colorado Springs. The following three years they made the NCAA regional final. Whether or not you think that these are all hollow accomplishments, the fact is that Umile didn't and neither did the those in a position to fire him. As I said before, Umile's biggest deficiency is his faith and confidence in others to do their job. That's why he was loyal to Borek and why seniors get the first chance on the power play. We are now at the point where the end is on the horizon. Let's be thankful for that. And btw, given Borek's track record over the past few years, two or three recruits following him to Providence does not exactly make me quake in my boots.
