When did Thompson get removed from consideration? I must’ve missed that. Do you have a source for that or is it confidential?

It really is a terrific stadium. One thing that bothers me about dedicated lacrosse stadiums in college is usually there’s only one side so for the stands. For a 10,000 seat stadium it really is laid out well all around the field I have to think Notre Dame Syracuse will draw a very large crowd in th...

Ummm - Google

I tried google. Could not find anything. Tx to the posters providing the explanations - thompson seems to have been unfairly attacked for this.

Coaching tree is a term for a reason. Winning begets winning and winning HCs have assistant coaches who have seen nattys first hand. Doesnt always pan out but I have to think ND assistant(s) are one of the final choices (as stated above). That said jon thompson seems like a terrific candidate and it...

As to HP, can someone explain his ties to the IL?

Sounds like you or someone you know may have received a “thank you for applying but we regret to inform you…”

Premier jobs on a national level: Syracuse, Duke, UVA, Hop, ND, UNC, MD Yep. At just a notch below, I would add the other B1Gs and maybe Denver and GT. I note that Brown's last two HCs (before Daly) both left to coach at one of these. This is not a dis on Brown. Cornell has lost three HCs to the gr...

Anyone hearing anything? Rumors? Tidbits?

Sounds like somebody might have gotten laid off.

Looking for a leader / winner that the kids and alumni want to follow

(And yes I realize there are some ceo type socios out there!- dont want that version)

I think the formula is some head coach experience. Head coach needs to have charisma be able to handle the program be the face of the program most importantly recruit You could add offensive coordinators, but having the ability to have run another program is ideal Whether that candidate exists, I do...

Great Analysis. I was just going to start looking into the numbers and put the statistics together, but you did a much better job than I would have Beyond that the simple eye test supports expanding For example, Cornell could easily put together a string of games and run to the finals. There are tea...

I think with the right attitude Brown can be a destination job. I think it is important to follow how other now hall of fame coaches have built “stepping stone” jobs to destination jobs. The road maps are out there. 1. Hire someone that has ties to Brown whether directly or indirectly; 2. Need chari...

Good to hear. Amazing how due process got thrown out (and still is sometimes). Thompson has to be on and at the top of the list if he was vindicated.

Jon Thompson has the resume - he is groomed for HC. Query - does he have the charisma to recruit and be a head coach? I guess people that know him or have coached with or played for him would know

I feel like head coaches are becoming more like CEOs. Need charisma as well as coaching game skills. On the highest levels this is true m, sure who that is but if I were hiring that would be my guiding post.

I think these are the updated standings through current. What are the scenarios to play out here for IL tourney?
