I wouldn't be surprised if James gave TIMMAY an extension now.

This is truly mind boggling. How could such an inept and incompetent administrator be rewarded with an extension of his contract? He has mishandled so many personnel issues within the department over the last two years and alienated so many friends and alumni of the University. The collapse of the Hockey program is only one of many issues he has failed to address in a prompt and judicious manner. Obviously, the President of the University sees it much differently.

The President appears to be as much of a dooshbag as James is.

Heard an advertisement tonight on 97.1 that Oliver Wahlstrom will be at the game on Sunday to provide some entertainment during an intermission. For those not familiar this is the 9yr old who made the sick shot in a mini-one-on-one on NESN.

A once storied program and rivalry has come to this to put warm bodies in the stands & generate revenue....how sad.

My thoughts exactly. I heard the ad and thought "We can't fill the seats against BU, so we have to try to convince people to come because some 9-year-old trick-shooter will be on the ice for 10 minutes?

He is the son of a hockey alum

The Learfield Sports deal must be incredibly profitable for the school.

I think its quite obvious kennedy could give a **** less about the athletic department and doesn't want to put them time and effort into finding a replacement. Why else would you renew him? The whole thing is pretty ridiculous.

Re: The Official Maine 2009 season thread:The Revenge of TIMMAY!!!

Although, unlike most of you, I do think Whitehead has the ability to turn the team around when it comes to coaching, this is a ridiculous business decision. Blake James just publicly applied for a job in Florida to get out of here.. and he didn't get it. This is a slap in the face to donors and followers of all Maine sports, especially the hockey program.

The fact that the University isn't willing to make ANY changes to turn things around, not even looking for an AD who WANTS to be here is pathetic.

Heres to hoping Corkum keeps bringing in Adam Shemankys and that Timmay finds more Nyquists in Sweden because it looks like those are our best hopes right now.

James just got renewed by the d-bag Kennedy who himself was looking to abandon ship to Kansas last year. UMaine is being poisoned right now........maybe it is up to the Board of Trustees to do something.

With quality employees like that, you have to lock them in when you can, so you don't lose them.
