Coaching vacancies 2012

No, not really. Job opens (word gets around that a coach resigns/is fired), phones/email lights up, interviews are scheduled/conducted, someone gets hired. Zero point in dragging it out.

I trust your opinion Hux but I am confused by this statement of "top 3" with the job posting just a few days ago. My very limited knowledge of public universities is that they typically have administrative rules that require a job to be posted for a certain length of time and then guarantee interviews for all qualified applicants before they can make any decision. Typically, if my recollection is accurate, that the waiting period is at minimum 10 days after posting the opening but maybe the fact that this a coaching job makes it different? I would be surprised if UVM didn't have specific rules that they have to follow even for coaching positiions (because they are a public institution).

They are required to post the job publicly, which they've done, and that's about it.
 
Re: Coaching vacancies 2012

I said top 3 because I know the NU coach was in contact with UVM before the job was publicly posted. The public posting is most likey just a formality and UVM has 2-3 names that they will go with.
 
Re: Coaching vacancies 2012

So..... when the coach resigns at a D1 school like UVM and Colgate, do the recruits he/she signed up usually stay committed to the school or do they often end up elsewhere? I would think that for the 2012-2013 commits they probably stay committed due to how late in the process it is, but what about the 2013-2014 commits? I see on the NAHA website that UVM has at least 1 2013-2014 commit - wouldn't the new coach want to do their own assessment of that player (and player of the coach) especially if the old assistant coaches leave as well?

Typically, players stay committed. If they've already signed a letter of intent (applied early decision to an Ivy), a change in coaching is not viewed as a basis for undoing that commitment. However, there have been exceptions. I know of one incoming player that applied early decision to Cornell and had been accepted followed Sasner to Wisconsin when she left Cornell. It does happen, but it would be the exception not the norm.

Here's a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QTxh-UBOEQ) that was posted on the NLI website (http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/nli/nli).

Does anyone have the skinny on why Wiley resigned at Colgate? Is he taking another job? Forced out?

Have heard that he was forced out due to team's performance. They have been backsliding the last 3 years, getting progressively worse. He had soem good seasons, but this last season was the team's worst in the history of the program, winning percentage-wise.

Talked to Coach Cowan yesterday (he is in Dallas for Girls Tier II Nationals) and he is retiring. The school has had several interviews to replace him.

Thanks for the update. I'd really like to see the Marian girls make something of themselves.

A few years ago, I heard there were less than 5 scholarships funded at Colgate. It is sort of hard to compete with that type of disparity.

I can assure you that you heard incorrect information, though you are right that it would be hard to compete if it were true.
 
Re: Coaching vacancies 2012

With Troy Jutting fired...er, re-assigned?, from his position as head coach of the men's team, I can't help but wonder if his protege Eric Means will have a run at the position. Perhaps his style of demanding hits (I wonder if there was money offered like in the NFL???) on opposing players surely is more accepted in the men's game. (are there sarcasm tags on this editor?)

I saw that tidbit about Troy "The Whiner" Jutting earlier today and wondered about Means. He belongs as far away from women's hockey as he can get.

Was wondering the same exact thing. But I would prefer that Means would just go away from the college game altogether, as ordering "hits" on opposing players has no place in the college men's game either. Perhaps the Charlestown Chiefs have an opening? :rolleyes:
