Re: Time for a change at UVM

Who takes over? I believe Mutch is available. he took a terrible BC program to the FF and recruited some great players.
 
Re: Time for a change at UVM

Might not be the best candidate for the job.
Im sure thats up for debate. What coaches are available with his coaching reputation that aren't already coaching? not many coaches would be willing to leave their curent positions for such a project Im sure.

There might be be one out there that hasnt been fired for sexting their players
 
Re: Time for a change at UVM

I hope they give Grant the program, assuming he would want it. He is certainly one of the top assistants in the game, and has been for a while.

He would be a good candidate. I have also heard the name of the Norwich coach named more than a few times. Personally the little I know about UVM makes me think that they would prefer a woman.
 
Re: Time for a change at UVM

I'd love to see Kimball get the job too...but the problem with handing the program over to Kimball or Gilligan is that even if the players "liked" those guys more than they liked Bothwell, they will still unfairly equate those guys with their former head coach and not get the fresh start that they probably need to now just get this entire situation behind them and move on.
 
Re: Time for a change at UVM

Might want to do some googling. It's pretty widely known.

It was probably the hottest topic on these boards about 4 or 5 years ago, when this scandal broke. I suspect that the original OP brought this up with a touch of sarcasm. Either way, I'm sure there are lots of good candidates available, whether they be current assistants or D3 head coaches.

I heard the same thing about the Norwich coach, Mark Bolding.....I have to tell you I think he would do a great job there. Talk to those who have played for him and you will get rave reviews.....the guy took a new team and in 5 years has won a NCAA National Championship....been runner up 1 time and to the NCAA's playoff round 3 or 4 times..........I think he would get results rather quickly and surprise a lot of people....D3 or not the guy can coach:)

I've heard good things about him too and he is just down the road from Burlington so it would seem like a natural progression. Whoever UVM chooses I hope it is someone with a good track record. I would guess that this rather public fight has taken its toll on the players and parents of players. The team needs some stability.
