It’s almost like there are other factors besides where you last coached

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."
But then MSU went right back to the same well and this time it looks like they got a good coach!
Don’t let my pessimism Sauer the thread. I’ve seen nothing but rain clouds over Badger hockey for 27 years (except 04-06, 2009, 2010).
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

Nah man, college hockey has changed SO much. The tourney is 16 teams when back in the day it was 8. Even 4 in the 70s. The competition is SO much stronger than it used to be that if you dont have a great system and team culture in place, plus talent, youre basically screwed. You gotta hit the trifecta to win a natty.
Because perhaps (hahaha) the coaching staff also underachieved?
Given the expectations when they were hired, absolutely. Frankly, a coaching staff of a skating traffic cone, psychic who has never watched a game but has a direct line to the ghost of Badger Bob, and a random poster with a copy of “Hockey for Dummies” could have achieved the same results.
Well Granato hasn’t been let go yet. I’m still concerned they won’t make the change.
They just came out with the new OSU rink plan,so is Rohlik really looking to move? Would Strand and Bittner come back to where they got fired?
On an objective level its hard to believe they wont fire TG. But with the level of stupid of the hockey admins over the last 10 years, especially last year when they kept the current staff, who knows what they will do. I would suggest anyone who cares to email the people making hundreds of thousands of dollars to make these decisions. Who have made poor decisions. Better safe then sorry with these people.
Obvioisly this assumes Rohlik is the guy. That remains to be seen. They are only starting construcrion on the new facility in 24, scheduled for completion in 26. I dont think that will influence Rohlik one way or another. In terms of facilities, even considering OSUs new planned one, UW still has a top 5 facility/amenities in NCAA hockey for players.
