Based on this presser and from what I've heard/seen about Milliman in general, he seems to be less talk, more do. Show it to us on the field. You'd think that'd be an admirable trait in the new head coach given how many people here whined about bombastic purported goals of final fours and championships only for the team to fall short of those often.
IMO this is a microcosm of why Jen Baker doesn't seem to care much about what alums think. Some will just cry and whine no matter what, and about the dumbest things. The ones who genuinely support the program and want to see it succeed will at the very least give the new staff a chance to do so. Milliman was coming off a 5-0 season in which they were ranked #2 in the country and had just beaten Penn State. My guess is he has championship aspirations.
-She laughed at lf, but many of you have lacrosse national title rings and she doesn't.
-Xanders the self proclaimed recruiting maven didn't bother to ask the ad a question about her thoughts on if early recruiting contributed to the programs demise or what latitude the coach has on aid/admissions.
-For a program that has an atrium full of titles and built a building pointedly leaving room for more, you'd think winning would be a central talking point and that hasn't been in any of the interviews she's given or anything he said today. It's clear the vision here is more of a d3 program-let's make sure we recruit academically focused kids and if they can win a few games, go team.
