Wisconsin fires Eaves and Gwoz steps in. The fit is great. George doesn't have to face his old team and he's now in the bigs with a nearly limitless budget. I see it happening.
The problem is Alvarez doesn't know who George Gwozdecky is. He probably barely knows who Mike Eaves is...

BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!
At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."
I personally thought that he had to make the NCAAs at a minimum to keep his job this year. After the poor attendance at the Dane Cty Col. and the financial bath the UW took, I figured Barry's attention was finally on the hockey program. He may have done the bare minimum by winning the conference tournament.
Interesting that DU fires Gwoz because they have higher standards than we do...

truer words have not been spoken!
as to the point of this thread,...I'm not happy with Eaves and would like to see a change but Gwoz is at the end of my list of candidates.
#1 - he wouldn't be in madison very long. he's over 60, correct?
#2 - "they had their time" - he completely dismissed the idea of coaching at Wisconsin (in print) when he went to Denver
Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!
"but you're not as confused as him are you. it's not your job to be as confused as Nigel". Tap pt 1.
"I think it's ****ing stock. What--? Which part of that is unclear to you? I think it sounds stock to my ears. I mean, do you want me to write it down?" Tap Pt. 2
so Gwoz is fired after making the NCAA's in 12 of 19 seasons, including 6 consecutive seasons and 8 of the last 10 (there should be an x for 12-13), winning 2 NCAA's...I don't know what DU is thinking...
anyway, to those wanting Gwoz in Madison, they certainly could do worse, I just worry that time is running against him

Gwoz is 59. Hell, he played on the same team as Mike Eaves at Wisconsin.
Eaves will never be fired for losing in the first round of the NCAA tournament, since there is no way that Eaves leads UW to the NCAAs 6 consecutive seasons.
