    I feel like you’re seething over something that isn’t there. They literally re-negotiated his contract last offseason so Granato has two options: 1) get better and make the tournament 2) get fired.

    You might ask, why not fire Granato mid season like they did to Chryst? Probably because 1) football has an obnoxious amount of coaches 2) Leonard had been sniffing the head coach job for at least a year or two 3) hockey doesn’t have that person good enough to take over for the rest of the season 4) hockey is only allowed a minimal number of coaches.
    McIntosh understands football and Barry’s legacy which is obvious…beyond $ of course.

    but what has he said or done to suggest he knows the importance of the legacy of Badger Bob Johnson? I said earlier Johnson’s legacy far surpasses that of Barry, or even Nick Saban because Johnson won titles in NCAA and NHL and was an innovator. No other coach has ever won titles in NCAA AND pro’s not named Johnson to my knowledge (Badger Bob and Jimmy).

    and he can make a statement now. Fire Granato and let Oseicki and Brandt take over for the remainder of the year. Then we’ll se if either has anything. I don’t trust McIntosh to make a great decision on hockey coach, he has no idea what to look for .
    Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

      my guess is he fired Granato and keeps Oseicki.

      how’s that for flipping off the 400 fans left in the fan base ?!?!

        Yeah, but Badger Bob never won a state championship the true barometer of a great playing and coaching career. It was something that bothered him all his life and friends and family teased him.

          I think this is why they need to let Jason King go and get someone who knows hockey to oversee the programs. Preferably a new ***'t AD from outside the badger circle with a hockey background. But I fully suspect that won't happen.

            In Minnesota and Massachusetts that means something and is special. In Wisconsin, not so much.

                I’m not going to be mad if he’s here the rest of the season. I will be beyond irate if he’s here next season.

                  There is ZERO chance they fire TG during the season.
                  There is ZERO chance King gets fired. After all he's also responsible for the women's team as well. He dodged a nuclear missile when MJ turned down PSU years ago. Yes MJ makes him look awesome, TG makes him look like a loser. They restructured his contract to make it easier to can him. Someone made him can MS. Presumably he's part of those moves. Sadly we all know from the end of the Eaves era that changing assistant coaches doesn't really move the needle. He should have known that. I am hoping the unconceivably bad attendance does move the needle.

                  So we let the season play out and see what happens.

I have a feeling Mac prefers stability and doesnt want to have to hire another coach in 5yrs...but that could be said about every AD in college.
                    56 isn't that old/wouldn't require a new coach in 5 years unless Hastings has made some comment about retiring soon. If he enjoys coaching, he should be good for at least 10 years (hey, standard social security retirement age is 67 right?). To me, his age shouldn't be a concern unless you're worried about relating to todays' youth - and that doesn't seem to have been an issue at Mankato.

                      That’s what I’m saying. There’s no sense getting progressively more upset that they haven’t fired him yet mid season. We all know it will come after the season ends barring some miracle run to a championship.

                      • The only benefits to Granato keeping his job:
                        • Its cheaper this way
                        • So I can razz him from the stands in Milwaukee in two weeks

                            Why? Why can’t they make a statement? It’s ridiculous to think with the legacy of Badger Bob that the U just let’s this happen, what, because if they fire Granato now they’d have just 2 coaches? Bull****. They accomplish 3 BIG things with firing Tony now.

                            1. they remove a coach who has proven he cannot win.

                            2. they tell the fan base (all 200 hundred of us) that they’re serious about upholding Bob’s championship legacy, but MORE important they tell recruits that winning is the PRIORITY and is EXPECTED..

                            3. They give Oz and Brandt a tryout for 3 months.

                            since King doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing this at least gives McIntosh a chance to see if the team improves with Oz/Brandt.

                            are we really thinking hockey is so unimportant now that a change can’t be made mid-season for the sake of the team, the fans, the U and the LEGACY?

                            • My only counter is that the legacy is dead.

                              Its gone.

                              You are lucky to see even a faint hint of the legacy that we had in 2010, which itself was just a shadow of what was there in 2006, much less the “old time” legacy of Badger Bob.

                              Badger Hockey, as we knew it, is dead.
