And again, I'll bet she and her crew NEVER anticipated the backlash they've gotten this week since Monday's decision. If Peg had nuts, she couldn't count 'em twice and get the same answer.

Re: Gwoz Resigns from DU?
Brent, I'm not sure what you're talking about, Colorado Springs isn't "in the mountains" either. They're both close to the mountains. Its like, Minneapolis/St. Paul isn't in Wisconsin, it is close to Wisconsin.Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

Originally posted by UncleRay View PostI'll stand by what I said: Gwoz may be worth more to another organization. He may be worth elsewhere what he was asking for. We may believe Gwoz is worth what he was asking for (whatever that was). An independent consultant could deem him worth what he was asking for. But if DU doesn't believe he is worth it, he's not going to get it. It's really that simple...

Re: Gwoz Resigns from DU?
So am I the only one with talk radio on in his office? Kinda funny, they keep poking at the dear A-D. They could have just said, "she won't make it today," but instead, every 10 minutes they mention how she was to come on to discuss the Gwoz situation...BUT...blah blah blah. This isn't even sports radio, it's regular news radio!

Originally posted by pgb-ohio View PostClearly correct, but HarleyMC's core message is also clear and correct. He's not denying that the admins control the pursestrings. He's just saying the Denver AD used that power very unwisely in this case, and provides some nice arguments to support that conclusion. His first sentence should have started out: "True, but in this case the leadership's valuation was clearly myopic ..." The rest of his post was fine.Michigan Tech Legend, Founder of Mitch's Misfits, Co-Founder of Tech Hockey Guide, and Creator/Host of the Chasing MacNaughton Podcast covering MTU Hockey and the WCHA.

Re: Gwoz Resigns from DU?
I am really skeptical that it had anything to do with salary. Even if there was a gap there, we'd be talking a 6-figure gap at the worst...certainly money that DU could scrounge up if they wanted to.
EDIT: That is, unless all of the alumni out there react to the fundraising calls the same way I do. "I'll give when my oppressive student loan debt is paid off." Considering that's scheduled to happen shortly after my 54th birthday, it'll be a while yet.Last edited by bunt_q; 04-04-2013, 09:43 AM.

There can be little doubt that DU's A.D. didn't make this decision without the full knowledge and support of her superiors. If Gwoz had that many people above him who weren't as enamored with him as everybody else in college hockey seems to be today then he should be glad he can go find a different job where someone will allow him to reign as he chooses.

What about Gwoz makes you think he's anything less than one of the most self-important coaches in college hockey? Would you dispute the observation that this was a guy who saw himself as some sort of NHL-style GM? I'm sure there are others on this board that noticed how big the dude's head was. Does the admin set that program back with her decision? Very well may have. Get the right guy in the new position and there's no reason to think the program can't continue it's recruiting success. That's all left to see, it could go the other way as well.
