"Prior to returning to Homewood, Koesterer had joined the UMBC coaching staff in July 2016 and quickly made an impact on the Retriever defense. His unit finished in the top 20 in scoring defense in 2017 (19th/9.14), 2018 (1st/7.77) and 2020 (6th/8.40)"
Yes, he made UMBC be the top scoring defense despite talent gaps. Literally #1.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
I have to say I agree with '16. The above sounds like you know or think you know something - you're dying for it to come out but it isn't 100% complimentary so you don't want it solely and directly attributed to you.
Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
Well I know this. You stated you were surprised that Crawley got snapped up and were more fearful of losing our DC. I wasn’t. Talk to anyone in coaching and everyone knew Crawley was going to be a HC. I don’t hear that about our DC.51percentcorn wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2024 7:25 amI have to say I agree with '16.

I asked you what kind of reputation you think our DC carries in the lacrosse world. You’ve didnt answer but jumped on a grand conspiracy that I have or think I have some bombshell.
I dont. What I have is one guy has a stellar rep and is a rising coaching star and one guy doesn’t have the same level of reputation.
Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
You heavily implied with the usual cryptic shenanigans that Coach K isn't HC material. Which I don't think is true. Just because he isn't Crawley the Wunderkind (few are) doesn't mean he's not on a more normal trajectory toward that end goal. He's still only in his late 30s — plenty of time, if it's even something he's interested in. Maybe it isn't. Or maybe the right moment/opportunity hasn't come along yet. The guy bleeds Hopkins lacrosse, he's probably pretty happy where he is at the moment.flalax22 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2024 8:17 amWell I know this.

Metzbower, Phipps, Wellner, Caputo, Georgalas, and several other extremely respected assistants are either the same age or older than K and have never had a head coaching gig either. Gerry Byrne was in his 50s when he took his first D1 head coaching job at Harvard. I'm sure there are tons of others, that's just who I thought of off the top of my head. Jamo is known as something of a defensive guru, passionate and hard-working — he's got total buy-in from the kids on that side of the ball. He'll lead his own program one day if that's something he wants.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
And you were doing so well up until that last line. What is this reputation? Tha's as nebulous as any personal characteristic. I hear Crawley has a better aura than Koesterer. I never claimed to know either man or their "reputation" within a community that could make hiring decisions for coaching staffs. I did say I was surprised - based upon their statistical results as coordinators. UMBC had a top ranked defense and Hopkins has one as well - 11 gpg in '23 (with a goalie at 47%) 10 gpg in 24 and playing an inarguably very strong schedule. But as Homer pointed out - there is alot more than stats in selling yourself up the ladder. Good for Crawley. If JK stays at Hopkins and we continue to have defenses that surrender 10/11 gpgs per game - good for Hopkins. BTW - we used to thave the same tiresome discussion about Benson unril that coaching staff departed.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
I'm just glad we didn't lose both coordinators at once.
JK definitely has some good pieces to work with next season.
The D was the strength of the team last year. Holding UMD to 5 goals was no easy feat.
Jamison is a great guy and a terrific coach.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
This. JK is an outstanding coach, clearly loves being at JHU, and plays a big part in creating a great culture at Homewood. I’m glad he’s here. Lots of factors go into the desire or opportunity to be a head coach. I seriously doubt that the only reason JK isn’t a HC is a problem with his “reputation” within the lacrosse community.Sagittarius A* wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2024 9:19 am I'm just glad we didn't lose both coordinators at once.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
You know people inside the program and I know people who are and have been associated with the program and to suggest it’s cryptic shenanigans is a bit disingenuous. It’s more than fair to challenge someone who says they expected the DC to go before the OC.HopFan16 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2024 8:37 amYou heavily implied with the usual cryptic shenanigans that Coach K isn't HC material.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
Of course it’s fair to challenge that idea but it’s not exactly fair to do so by insinuating the other guy doesn’t have what what it takes to be a HC.

Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
Regardless of the sentiment, I hope Coach K stays for a long time and that Hopkins hires an OC soon

Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
Is Hop just bumping everyone up and keeping the hire in house? And Milliman would be more hands on with the offense?

Re: Johns Hopkins 2025
Another shredding by the Toronto Beaches (well, actually they've had a couple close games).
11-0 with 9 regular season games to go.
Collison, one Terp, three from Cornell (Willem Firth especially doing very well).

Rutgers at home is probably the most winnable game of 2025.

Chayse Ierlan joining as DOLO
Brian Kelly promoted to OC
Jon Cohen promoted to 3rd assistant
What this almost certainly means is that PM is going to run the offense.
