Re: Northeastern Huskies Offseason (Discipline: let's find it)
Cronin, didnt check out mentally he kind of gave up, big differance..he did what was best for his career at this stage, with a legit shot to coach in the NHL someday. These opportunities don’t come often in life. I was never a huge fan but he was the best coach since Fern, so what can you do. NU is a tough place to coach, you have the big dogs across the Fenway and BC up in the Heights. He made the team competitive but he dint build a legacy or powerhouse he was a sub .500 coach with some good ties to recruiting and we got a few good kids during his tenure. I think he got more of his relationship with NU then we the fans or even the players he coached received. He takes some sort of credit for the rink renovation, the wheels for that were in motion under Crowder so no credit can be given their, to that extent we will just have to find someone good. I really wish the best for him, but did you really see him becoming the next Jerry, Jack or Dick..I don't think so. The problem is that it's July and skaters come back next mo. So they had better figure this thing out. Contrary to popular belief it's not like there are a million qualified coaches looking to come to NU,. Anyway, if you don’t know my touch points tell me that behind closed doors all was not well with Roby and Greg. I will go out on a limb here unless you have an AD willing to take a back seat to his coaches you will never have national caliber sports teams in any sport regardless of the candidates prior resume. I think the recruiting violations isse and the way it was handled left a bitter taste, I wont go into detail, but if NU had done exactly what UNH had done to Dicky U, I am not sure we would be without a coach today. I have to tell you I say give Sebastian a shot at it. I think he is the most logical candidate as an interim coach if they cant find one and if he can have a good transition year sign him to a short 3 year deal. I mean he did a pretty good job during the suspension. Well back to Manheim..talk to you all in October!
