Where did Carson Duggan go and when? And we think Olson is gone too?
Brad Schlossman just confirmed that Jenny Potter has been let go at Ohio State. - https://twitter.com/SchlossmanGF/status/766324793872232449
Not sure the reasoning yet as this is still developing.
Once again I give props to Schlossman.
Too bad for OSU.
I think OSU should consider someone who can relate to the players. The days of the Old School, motivate by fear types are over. If you want to steal recruits from UM and UW, you will need to create an atmosphere that players want to play in. The success of the two top programs in the WCHA shows that a respectful and fun atmosphere is not at odds with high expectations and winning championships.Timing is not great that's for sure however probably something that had to happen. Is it too bad for OSU?? Who knows, only time will tell. One thing is certain, the next hire better be there for a while and come with a strong coaching pedigree. The guessing game on potential candidates can now begin!

I feel for the girls. For the 2016-17 seniors, this will be their third coach in four years. The other classes here will have played for a different coach every single season. I am not going to point fingers because I do not have all the facts, but that's no way to build a program. At some point there has to be some continuity. The girls deserve better than this.
Some of the girls, or players on the team, continue to complain to the admin about their coach, the admin responds by firing the coach.. This has happened twice with the women's program and once with the men's program in the last 4 years...if you think it's anything else you're being naive.
I would hope and expect that this is not the case. OSU will issue their release and would imagine that they will be as forthcoming with the "why" as they were with Handrahan. I do agree with OSUALUM, the girls deserve better.
Surprising to say the least but as it has been mentioned, it does seem to be a shame for the players and especially considering the improved talent level (at least on paper) for this coming season.
