Its easy to say that when it isnt a possibility and things aren't terrible on your end. But if in a couple years this guy isn't winning enough and Hastings wants out of Sconnie and wants to come back they would not only have to consider it but likely would swallow their pride and do it.
Well...this is the same athletic department that brought back the football coach after they fired him, he got a job at a different school, criminal charges were dismissed, and to avoid a legal battle MSU hired him back. Soooo...I guess never say never.

Duluth is a train wreck. They were down 6-0 at home tonight. The Sue then got chippy and gave the Bulldogs four straight 3rd period power plays. The game ended 7-3. The Bulldogs got three power play goals and the Sue got a shorthanded goal.
@collegehockeyaddict No sugar coating it…they certainly are. Falling behind 6-0 at Amsoil this stage of the season is completely unacceptable. The coaches need to look closely in the mirror. The team has been a BUST since Fall of 2022, after being a force for over a decade. Something is fragmented that the coaches have failed to address appropriately.

hold up. Those were pretty unique circumstances around that football coach.

I don't know any specifics on this, but from the statement... Got fired because he was facing criminal charges, then the charges were flat out dropped (not going to trial and found not guilty, but simply dropped?). If that understanding is correct, then the firing might have been wrongful termination, so hiring back makes sense.
He got fired on some serious bs charges that were used by some in the AD (and parents of players i believe) to oust him cause they had issue with him. When the actual information of the charges were made public they were looking at serious lawsuits.

And IIRC the charges were without merit, but would you feel comfortable going back to place of employment that was involved in those charges? That cloud of doubt, fair or not?
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
You guys seriously don't remember any of these details?
he was charged with child porn IIRC. Turned out it was pictures of his own kids when they were young running around after a bath or something like that.
of course the school is going to fire him immediately after charges like that are filed. But then when the details came out and people realized they were family pictures, the charges were dropped and everyone was like "oh shit, sorry we didn't wait but like, you get it right?"
You don't necessarily fire someone immediately if it's something easily disprovable. All they had to do was bring him in to ask, "wtf?" and he could show them his phone. Driving drunk and plowing someone over or something like that sure.

I remember the details, but as I said, would you feel comfortable going back to work for someone who treated you like that? It'd be realllllllly awkward.

treated me like anyone else charged with child porn? Uhhhh yeah. I would kind of understand given the circumstances. My anger would be at the cops and prosecutor's office.

Sorry but no. He's fighting to remain out of prison. I'm confident his lawyer said don't talk to anyone. And I'm sure talking to employer was a hair lower on the priority list than making sure I stay out of federal prison.
I haven't been logged in for a few years, but want to provide the context here and then I'll fade back into oblivion. There are a few things that make this a no-win story for everyone and NO ONE did anything wrongoutside of the county attorney that seemed to be out to make a name for himself. In fact I'd argue everyone did everything correct.
Remember, this all happened inside a year of when the Penn state stuff happened so everyone at universities were on edge. He took his work phone to IT as he was having problems with it. IT saw he had videos of his elementary school age or younger kids getting.out of the bath, being goofy and mooning the camera. IT reported it to HR, HR reported it to the police/da. They pressed charges and used some pretty damning language including that the kid was "showing his anus" in the indictment. He was placed on administrative leave and only fired when it looked like it was the only conclusion that could be taken.
As it made it through the legal process, an interim coach was put in place and the team went undefeated during the year and to the final 4 teams. The summer/fall of the next year he took a much lesser job not knowing if he would ever get his job back. In the meantime, everyone realized it was a ridiculous case and the charges were dropped. He took his contracted right to demand his job back and and an arbitor ruled this way. The administration had no choice but to give it back to him. From everything I understand there was never any ill will between him and the athletic dept or university admin. Frustration, I'm sure, but not bad relationships.
In any case, pot shots at the college or the coach are probably a bit unwarranted in this instance. And with that, I bid you adieu for another 3 years.
BU has lost 5 of their last 7 games. In the 5 losses they have given up 27 goals (7, 5, 5, 5, and 5). It's hard to win when you can't keep the puck out of your net.
Fowler suspended for BC tonight for the punch as he well should be
Only tonight? I'd have given him two full games. Goalies get a lot of protection (understandably)... part of that deal is that goalies simply don't get to do that kind of thing
Maybe the voters bump Michigan ahead of us but that would feel like an overreaction. To me early on there feels like a clear top 4: DU, BC, MN and MSU.
I was at the MSU vs. Northern Michigan game on Saturday here in Mankato...you know, free tickets from work so why not. I had the chance to catch up with GPL's resident tall guy @viking Overall the game was meh. Neither team played overly well but MSU really didn't look like they have recently. Number 72 didn't have a great night either and his shoot out try was WTF? Overall it was a great night of watching some hockey with friends.
Here is my granddaughters reaction to the outcome of the game. 🤣
