    Re: Fire Dick Umile!!!!!

    I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. Dick Umile may be the nicest guy in the world but he's a terrible coach. Stop going to games and see how quickly he gets turfed. I happen to like the UNH fans that I've met, so for your own good start agitating loudly and proudly for his immediate dismissal.

    I've seen the same excuse making over at my school when an older coach has lost his fastball. First the quality of players goes downhill. Then post season success becomes non-existent. At that point posters start playing the "oh we can't compete" card, which makes no sense. If Maine and Denver can win titles, and Ferris St, Vermont, etc can make the FF, then so too can UNH with a good facility, lots of fan support and being located not that far from civilization (the Boston metro area). Nothing Umile has done earns him a lifelong tenure at that job. Time to show him the door, politely but firmly.

Scarano, in just his second year on the job, fired previous coach Karen Kay for less, .500 & .597 in her last two years, and Kay was four years removed from a national title & three years removed from nearly notching a second (lost in OT).

        You know what will happen if (or when) Umile gets canned... he will win the NCAA championship with another team in his first or second year.

        Regardless, I think the whole program should be shaken up. If they are one of the few teams that have Olympic sized ice, you can look at it as an advantage or disadvantage because they play just as many games on NHL sized ice. Sure you can put up cones to practice but it's just not the same.

          I do agree about the general consensus... the recruiting power is just not there. Perhaps McCloskey can go back to assisting for the men's team.

            I agree.

              Holy cow, are you serious?? What D-1 school is going to hire a 65 yr. old coach to lead them to the promised land, when said same coach has just spent the last 23 yrs. trying (and failing) to do that at his alma mater?? I'm sure BU has him right at the top of their list to replace Coach Parker as we speak ...

                  I would take him as a coach.

                      The last time UMass-Amherst courted Coach Umile (at least publicly?) was back when UNH was still a rising program, Coach Umile was in his late 40's/early 50's, and those events set in motion the chain of events that saw UNH upgrade his pay, which culminated eventually with the purported "lifetime contract".

                      I don't see a relocation to another program being part of Coach Umile's exit strategy from D-1 hockey - even if he is "pushed". As others have already mentioned, for better or worse, I think he is ours until he decides he's done. Likewise, I doubt Coach Parker is going to be eyeing any vacant HE jobs anytime soon ...

                        I have been a season ticket holder since the Whit opened, and have seen significant regression in UNH's recruiting ability and talent development. These areas are clearly the coach's responsibility. The Olympic size ice gives them such an incredible home ice advantage, that a monkey behind the bench could have a significant home winning record each year!!! Umile's time should be over now, or else this program will continue to disappoint us :-( It has been 10 years since they made it to a frozen four- enough is enough!!

                          Serious question here... Do you think their NCAA violations have anything to do with the recent talent pool? I believe part of their self imposed sanctions were that they could not commit any of the kids that had recieved the inadvertant emails?

                            Greg Cronin; Former of NU, now Toronto in the NHL, considers Umile a great coach, but what does he know?
