Problem was they seemed to have noticed this early on, but were unable to make any adjustments to remedy.

Well, some guys that's just who they are.
I'm hopeful with more time to identify CHL prospects this year there can be more of a meeting of expectations from both sides- the coaching staff identifying the type of guy who can adapt to the college hockey grind, and CHL players knowing more of what the expectations are in the NCAAs.
It’s hard for me to believe there were better options out there than the guys Maine brought in.

Rumor has it Ben Barr is on Minnesota's short list to replace Bob Motzko who mutually agreed to step down today, any thoughts?

Speculation but he's from Minnesota.

This is what I found amkirby.
Per, The Daily Gopher:
"The names that have been discussed that immediately move to the top of the list include Minnesota native and Maine Head Coach Ben Barr, former Motzko assistant at both St. Cloud State and Minnesota and now Augustana head coach Garret Raboin, and defending NCAA Champion head coach of Western Michigan and Minnesota native Pat Ferschwiler

Great candidates!
Thanks. I guess all we can do for a bit is hope that he stays with us in Orono instead of going home.
Yes, he's from Minnesota and played prep at Shattuck-St. Mary's. But his playing and coaching background have eastern sprinkled in -- probably too "eastern" for a xenophobic program such as Minnesota's.

Not disputing the players again, my comment was geared towards the coaching staff was never able to make the necessary adjustments to remedy the problems they were reporting week after week.
Learning experience for everyone I guess.

I am worried about Barr and this Minnesota job. It’s one of the few jobs in the country that would truly be tough to turn down, especially for a guy from Minnesota. Time will tell but I’m sure he’ll be interviewed.

Do you want a real answer or are you just praying Maine loses him so you can feel better about your shit program?

I was just passing info I saw today. I could care less if he stays or leaves. Yes UNH Hockey is in the gutter but I don't dwell on it there's more important things in life.And finally go f*** yourself.

I have no idea what the bottom-line was, but football was the flagship program during the Red Era, and for a few years before that.
And even last season, Maine was one win short of an NCAA berth...
I hate to suggest shit-canning baseball, but they must spend a bunch of money going South every year and coming home 2-19..? And Orono is an awful venue for Spring baseball in the first place. I sat there in full-blown snowstorms in May!
