Re: Northeastern 2012-2013 Season Thread: A New Hope
you are all missing the crux of the problem.
madigan inherited a program on the rise. cronin's last 2 years produced 2 year misses in bpot. 2 he final fours, 1 point from a regular season championship and several all rookies. the freshmen on his last team: oleksiak (nhl), reid (ahl), bitetto (ahl), eibler?, dongara (umass)...are all gone because the team was mismanaged by the hc. the next round of recruits included: saponari, reid, gaudreau, haar, kovacs, gillies, darcy etc....figure it out steve. they had the best talent in decaded coming to nu because cronin and staff resourced the program those first 3 years. cronin by the way, inherited an awful team and an awful program. he built it up against tough odds....and his staff enhanced the image...hence the good recruiting.
madigan and staff tore apart something that was on an upward swing...maybe there is some method to this madness, but i dont see any light at the end of the tunnel. and rossi is right, with uconn and nd entering the league, nu will get pushed further down the food chain. roby's gender equity ego pushed cronin and co out....and madigan couldnt keep it together because he never coached before, nor managed an athletic staff. why the hell did oconnell and laplante leave when they were big parts of cronin's program that was winning? hello
