    Exactly what I thought Coyle would offer - 2 years. Pressure's on!

      I realize you guys are stupid, but Scandinavia and Wisconsin are not part of Canada.

      The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.

              I fully think this is an extension that is a "wait and see" approach. Let the AD settle in, etc. A coach of tDon's stature and only a 2 yr extension? Kinda wondering about that....

                How many coaches of his stature miss the tournament four out of eight years including right before the extension offer and get a bunch of years?

                  Look no further than Pitino and his raise and contract. He has done nothing with the basketball team yet still gets a huge raise.

                      I understand it's a joke but you just have to wonder who is running the asylum over there.

                        How many coaches have to sit through an AD change? It's a big change. I think the current AD is gonna see what the overall situation is, and act accordingly. Well, I hope that's the case, anyways.

                          It's a new AD who I am sure wants to have "his guy" in place and let's face it he hasn't had enough time to settle in and analyze the full situation yet, but didn't want to do nothing so he compromised with 2 years. Those tossing around "lame duck" aren't seeing the forest for the trees.

                            Agreed.

                              Plus Coyle was at the U when Lucia's teams last won it all in 2001-02 and 2002-03, so he knows what the program under Lucia is capable of. But on the other hand he's aware that it's been 13 years since those glory years, and for a college hockey program of such history and stature he no doubt realizes that the team should be doing better. My guess is that in his mind a two year extension is an appropriate compromise. It should allow Lucia to show improvement, especially against the team's in-state rivals and in the post season...without locking the school into an expensive buy-out should the expected progress not materialize, as is obviously the case right now with Pitino. And then there's the wrestling situation that is also in the forefront, and football with their new coach....I think he also just wanted to get the hockey situation behind him so he could concentrate on more urgent priorities.

                                We Nodaks have lost track a little of how good UMTC is, though they seem to have been good to very good in recent years. The S'awks lost a lot from last year--are you guys thinking the Gophs have a good chance of giving them a rough welcome back to the old dance floor? You know the tundrabillies will be just as rude and grabazz as they ever were.
