eh he had earned the right to leave on his terms. he made the tournament last year and the -_- virus year they won the conf and were in line for a 1 seed
brown or cav would be fine. for cav to get yukon where he has given high school level facilities is pretty impressive.
Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:York isn't hockey's Coach K because he isn't a colossal douchebag and poor sport. The fact that he left with little fanfare is a further testament to his character. As for whether he hung on too long, I am reevaluating that position. The team that lost the year to Covid looked a lot like a title contender and the team that followed looked very good at times, but probably was done in by the continuing disruptions of Covid.
I do not see anyway in hell that BC hires Quinn. You simply can't hire a BU guy. They could go outside the BC family, but it would not be a BU guy. Besides which, most of the chatter around Quinn at BU was that he was a strong recruiter--aided by Albie O'Connell, who was a spectacular recruiting assistant--but a terrible X and O guy and talent developer. That was on full display during his remarkably terrible run with the Rangers.
My guess is that it is Brown. He has done an admirable job with Dubuque in the USHL. They've already clinched a first round playoff bye and are neck and neck with Chicago for 1st place in the Eastern Conference. With that said, it can't be denied that BC dropped off after Kav left and Brown became the primary assistant, which is concerning. If it isn't Brown, would BC go after Greg Carvel? He'd make sense as an outsider, plus it hurts the UMASS program which is a plus. And hockey is one sport where BC is a baby rapist and can big time other programs not named Minnesota, Wisconsin, Denver, UND, Michigan and a couple of others.

I’m hearing from sources that there was real interest between BC and Cav- he interviewed on Monday and has lots of supporters in the BC admin. UConn stepped up with an enhanced offer. Would be very, very surprised if Brown isn’t the next coach.

Maybe, but the Milbury experiment was an eye opener for a lot of the whale pants crowd. The downside with Brown is whether this is a Cedarchuk situation, where a good assistant meets the Peter Principle when it comes to running a program. His success in Dubuque alleviates that concern a bit, but is clearly not dispositive.
Also, because Elvii lacks reading comprehension, I said that Brown was the favorite, but there were other candidates being considered, including outside of the BC alum bubble. What I actually said was those candidates had better HC resumes than Cav and thus, Cav was never going to get the job whether it is Brown (the most likely occurrence) or if they go for an outsider--and they have reached out to Carvel and Army (not sure if Bazin was also contacted). He would have been the 3rd or 4th choice and since it didn't seem likely that all of those ahead of him would turn BC down, he took himself out of the process.

You realize we can read what you originally posted? Because it’s not the above. Just say you were unclear and call it a day.
