I think he might have to do it, depends on this season. If they win 2 from Lowell this weekend, the pressure is off for awhile, if lose a game or even 2, folks are going to get mighty restless. Any home losses are going to tighten the vice. Road losses are a given at this point, take'em to the bankDoes anyone on this thread, whether they be parent, fan, alum, orplayer, actually feel UM AD has the stones to buy Timmy out....?
No secondary scoring is a big issue....and for every odd man goal given up, it seems the forward are rarely in the sot or are standing straght up, coasting. Leadership is there, but you have 2 captains who don'rt say much, and one who is a healthy scratch ( who knows why) about half the time....don't think it is a heart issue. have you seen their practices....Early season practices, where you should build stamina look like late season ...heard nate leaman speaking about how many of the upper classman found it hard to make it through his practices at PC.....don't see that happening at Timmy U...fitness suffers....and shows as they break down during shifts....3 points from last 2 recruiting classes.....back recruiting, neither goalie can handle the puck look like baby seals trying to eat spaghetti.....and Timmy, with his magic 8 ball approach to coaching, using mysterious statitics to fillout the line up card....is still there...and watch the bench during a game....see a lot of conversations between Tim and his associate head coaches....NOT... there I feel better now....
can someone please tell me how to ignore him?
Upper right corner of screen, Settings, click on it. Middle of screen on left after clicking, edit ignore list, I don't ignore folks as a general rule but this is beyond obnoxious.
Yes I know...he's helping out Jim Montgomery at times with Dubuque of the USHL.
Would that be a 2 yr Buyout..? What does he make with perks/etc..? $190,000 per season.?..x 2 yrs would be around $380,000,roughly...hope there are Donors willing to fork over for 2 yrs...
I'll believe it when I see it, if I even believe it then...
If a buyout is gonna happen, yes, it had d@mn-well be done with private money, because there is no way in the Great State of Maine that taxpayers are going to think that $250K is money well-spent to get rid of a mere hockey coach. We Mainers are just born too smart and too *frugal* to spend that kind of dough on something so frivolous, right?
If I'm Tim I suppose I'd continue to collect on someone else's mistake as long as possible, but the honorable thing to do would be to negotiate some kind of early-exit severance $ that wouldn't strap the athletic department any more than it already is. Don't see that happening, either, though.
Whitehead will likely never land another D-1 job in his life, so I'm thinking he's going to take the Blake James gift and keep running with it, and I can't say that I blame him. He's never been a Maine guy, really. He'd probably bleed Hamilton blue if you cut him, but Maine's blue is a different shade... And his wallet grows fatter every day, whether Maine wins or not.
Unfortunately, it's a no-brainer for him to play out the string in Orono, though, and God help us.
