New D1 coaches needed?

"Special announcement".....lol, too funny. Old news now. Announcing that Scott would not be returning, now that was special!
Re: New D1 coaches needed?
It was poor form by Adrian to say where Davis was going in their announcement (and Davis for not preventing them from doing so) before RIT made the announcement. They had the replacement lined up as someone who'd been working for them for a couple of years. I get the boost in prestige that their HC went D1, but they would not have suffered harm waiting until today if they really couldn't bring themselves to omit where he was going.

All joking aside, I agree they should have waited. I don't remember any other time where a school announced the departure of their coach for a new coaching opportunity before the school that just hired that coach made their announcement. Amateurish move by Adrian. Sadly I think Chad had a better team where he was but who can fault him for taking a D1 job even if it's a low-end one. The salary alone is enough to make the decision a no-brainer.
Re: New D1 coaches needed?
And here I thought your problem with RIT's women's team was just the coach. Apparently you just hate RIT in general?

No, without any scholarships this is a tough situation for anyone. Hopefully this new coach will treat his players better, will have better ethics on the recruiting trail (and in general), and won't get into any bar brawls. LOL. This program is in desperate need for someone with a much better reputation and who will run things the right way! Time will tell, and I wish them all the best!

I do feel bad for the OSU fans. Seems like they just can't get a break.

Re: New D1 coaches needed?
The timing on this is difficult right before the season starts, and I am sure rival fans will not actually read the story and the reasons Coach Peter is stepping down (spend more time with family and deal with health issues). The trolls will use this to continue to push their false narrative that some sort of "turmoil" is going on at OSU. LOL, yeah, turmoil, we just had a historically great season that culminated in a Frozen Four appearance and an OT loss to the eventual National Champions, but yeah, so much turmoil going on here in Columbus.
Thank you for the thoughts, though. We will be fine. Mrs. 86 and I are heading to Quinnipiac for the season opening weekend. Couldn't wait until the home opener to see our "adopted daughters." We've missed them!

Have a great trip. If you’re driving, it should be a beautiful drive by then. Looking forward to the OSU thread revival in the coming weeks. Best wishes to Peter, and good luck to the Buckeyes (when they are not playing the Lakers).
Re: New D1 coaches needed?
Thank you, Lindsay! I need to get the OSU thread going. I will probably start it in another week or two. Still thinking about the sub-title, but I think I will probably go with "The Road To Hamden" or "Destination: Hamden."
I believe the program will be fine. I am sure Coach Nadine has someone lined up. As for the trip to Quinnipiac, we are really looking forward to heading over there. I did look into air travel, but between the cost and then having to rent a car, it was cheaper to just drive the 10.5 hours over there. There will be wear and tear on the vehicle, but it's a lot cheaper to just drive it.
So, regarding the weekend vs the Lakers, any chance you will be gracing us with your presence at the OSU Ice Rink for that one?

Re: New D1 coaches needed?
Trying to be objective and not trolly, but isn't the timing of it is suspicious? Would you not do this at the end of the season to give Muzzy time to get a new coach and get them onto the recruiting trail? She's has had a revolving door with assistant coaches. I think "Health & Family Time" is code for my boss is psycho.

Unfortunately I have to agree.

Agree they will be fine. I definitely want to watch OSU at their rink some time, and have my eye on a Mercyhurst or Whitecaps game. In the event schedules/ weather align and I can make it to a game I will be sure to say hello.
Re: New D1 coaches needed?
I completely agree that the timing puts us in a spot when it happens right before the season starts, but I just do not buy into the "my boss is psycho" narrative. Maybe some of the Gopher posters who know Coach Nadine better than I do can chime in on this, but I have never got the "psycho" vibe from her. I can tell you this, the girls love her and play hard for her. I think that has been crystal clear the past couple seasons with Coach Nadine behind the bench. I sent Coach Peter a note on facebook and told him he would be sorely missed. He thanked me for my support and said the team will be great this year.

Re: New D1 coaches needed?
I hear you loud and clear on the weather, let me tell you! That drive up to Erie last season for the Friday night game was dicey, to put it mildly! I was thankful to get there without sliding off the road! I am a lifelong Ohioan who knows how to drive in that weather, but it was downright treacherous that night!

Re: New D1 coaches needed?
Seriously, that's what makes a psycho person psycho. I have worked with a couple psycho people in the past, both were purchasing agents. They were nice as pie to external people like vendors and totally raving psychotic to fellow employees. In fact, right now I work for a small company where the boss's 2nd wife started working here. We now have to lock up the toilet paper and Kleenexes because she thinks we're taking them home. I tell you what, it is illegal in 49 states to call what she buys toilet paper toilet paper. She convinced her hubby to install cameras all over the building because she thinks people are stealing from the company (guess what state this TP would be legal in!). She re-arranged the office so she could have a clean view of everyone's computer monitor to watch what they are doing down there, though the layout makes no sense from a customer standpoint and she's on facebook all the time. Her desk is by the bathroom and one day she heard me pull the hand towel down 4 or 5 times to dry my hands and she complained I used too much towel. Wipe my Arse witch! ANYWAY, I hope that things settle down for your program on the coaches front and that you get some stability that allows the young ladies to excel. A better OSU makes all the WCHA better. We must defeat the Eastern scum. Looks like we won't be seeing each other until the last series of the year.

Re: New D1 coaches needed?
Anyway, I think the Gopher players really liked her as an assistant and saw her as a big sister and the person they could go to with anything. I realize that those relationships are likely different for a head coach. I wouldn't expect that people would view her as psycho. She may not be a good fit for some people. I'd say that as a head coach, she reminds me a little of someone like Maria Lewis. She has a magnetism, and it is obvious to anyone that she cares a lot. The staff will likely miss Peter for what he brought in terms of Xs and Os and international contacts, at least in the short term.
I thought what really made her complement Frost and Johnson well on the UM staff was that they are both low key and Nadine brings both passion and a bit of fire. Ask her to tell you the story of the traveling "M" and her first weekend in Bemidji as a coach some time for an example.

Are you referring to the recruiter or the players recruited? Because the players are definitely having a positive effect. Off the top of my head, both Northeastern and Mercyhurst benefited greatly from their European players - Krizova; and Tanskanen and Nuutinen respectively.
Re: New D1 coaches needed?
Wow, that sounds like a really toxic environment, but the way you told it made me smile, so thank you! I sincerely hope you are not in that environment now! As for our program, I just want an offseason where we don't lose a player or an assistant coach! OTOH, I do appreciate where we are at, and I am sure a lot of fans would trade places with me right now. We have a great team coming back, and despite the offseason losses, our team has the personnel to have another big season. As for seeing each other, I am not 100% sure I am making the trip up to Madison this season since it is that late in the season. I really want to because you and the fans up there are great, and we always have a nice time in Madison, but honestly, I am hoping we will need to save our $$$ for the NCAA Tournament about that time. Maybe the WCHA can get back to the top of the mountain this season. Gonna be fun.
