Re: UML Fires Coach MacDonald
Wow. I didn't expect that. I don't think UMass has ever fired a coach. Usually they just simply let contracts expire. Hopefully UMass-Lowell is setting a trend and we'll see some of the subpar coaches in Amherst fired (I'm not necessarily talking about Toot either).
Good luck finding a replacement.
EDIT- It looks like the link doesn't work any more. It takes you back to the College Hockey News Homepage. If you search for "MacDonald Fired," you get something, but when you click on the link, it just takes you back to the homepage.Last edited by jjmc85; 03-09-2011, 03:17 PM.#NewMass

And no idea about a new coach, but we've heard some rumors including ex-UML player Norm Bazin. And we'd been hearing for a while that he might be on the way out, but the only issue would have been buying out the last year of his contract.Monty

You have your own problems
Word is Blaise made a last ditch effort but probably to late. No buyout when you have 1 year left. Give the man his cash.

Re: UML Fires Coach MacDonald
I'll refrain from comment about the future until the official news is released either tomorrow or Friday.
Even if shown to be correct, it was a terrible oversight on CHN's part. This is something that you need to have confirmation from the University or institution before posting.- John

Re: UML Fires Coach MacDonald
It does sound like CHN jumped the gun. I'll give them a pass, though. It's not as if Wodon is getting rich off of manufactured controversy. CHN is a hobby website, and my guess is that it was an honest mistake.1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1995 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2012(!)
