Already done. I beat USCHO to it.

And honestly, I am so excited I could hardly come up with anything to write.

From now on, I am going to call you Scoop. ;)

I liked Jim as a person (and am still thankful that he took the time to visit my American Studies classes), but as a coach, there was so much he could have done with these guys that didn't happen.

Bless his heart, but it's time.

Also: to add to your list of possible coaches, I would nominate Mark Osiecki from Wisconsin.

Brekke is an awful coach, don't bother interviewing him, he has no connection to the WMU program, he knows nothing about defense...... ;)

(please don't steal him)

While I think he would be a fine candidate for the job, there are several coaches I think should be ahead of him on our "wish list".

Sounds good to us Miami folk.

Wonder who is on the shortlist. Culhane seems like a first class guy, but 2 winning seasons in just over a decade needs some change.

Congratulations!


Could you guys continue to suck against NMU once your program makes a complete 180 from where Bailey and Culhane took it? :o

I would love to be reunited with my old Lunatic pals for the first game of next season. :D I'm just across the lake, now...the only thing is that it probably coincides with the big end-of-the-season Rendezvous so it may have to be another series.

I am so very happy that I was wrong. He should have been let go years ago. I hope that they will actually look for a coach this time and spend a little time evaluating the situation before they hire someone. Maybe there is hope after all:D .

Please tell me this isn't some really elaborate prank.
 
Re: Western Michigan Season Thread 2009-10

Ranking those three, in order of likelyhood:

1) Renfrew. Never underestimate the pull of a player's alma mater


2) Powers












































3) Pearson. Ain't no way he's leaving Michigan, not with Red's likely retirement within the next 2-3 years. Red is 70 and it's been known for a while that Pearson is next in line. He's been at Michigan since 1988-89. If he wanted another D-1 job he would have been gone by now.

According to USCHO's twitter account, Culhane is gone after this season, reassigned to the office of development.

I can't remember the last time I looked forward to a new Bronco hockey season. I can't remember the last time I felt excited about any aspect of Bronco hockey. I am now. I can't wait to see how this develops. :D
 
Re: Western Michigan Season Thread 2009-10

Hey Moe. When are you going to start a new thread? How about speculating on the next coach?
 
Re: Western Michigan Season Thread 2009-10

ELCAsoccer actually mentioned Pearson right off the bat. I had to remind him that Red is not a young man anymore and that Pearson is being groomed for Red's job.

I still say WMU should take a serious look at Mark Osiecki.

But not Poulin. *Definitely* not Poulin.
 
Re: Western Michigan Season Thread 2009-10

Wow, this took at least four or five years longer than I though it would.

Guess this means I can finally stop screaming: "Hey! Jim! Jim Culhane! Why do you still have a job?! If Western were to pay somebody $110,000 to lose 30 games a year, they should have hired me! At least I would have been entertaining! And I would have probably won more games, too! And your haircut looks like dogs***!"

Good on 'ya, Western. Better late than never?
