I don’t think we need a novice coach (mens, I know he coached the womens team)

I think Coach Pietramala would encourage any of his former charges to accept any positions that would help further their careers and professional development, no matter how awkward for him.

As to who replaces him, lord knows.

We were all excited when Jr was hired.
This looks a lot like scapegoating to me.
A coaching change early in his tenure suggests the coach is under fire.
Spin it any way your want, PM's clock is ticking.
Intentional or not … merited or not … this latest development raises a lot of red flags.
Has Coach Milliman issued a press release about the departure? I have not seen one. The program should get one out soon.

Carrying this over from the 2022 thread:
You claim that "as far as you know," Hopkins didn't interview any of its former players. That is flatly, indeed wildly, at odds with what was reported and discussed at the time. On its face, your statement would appear to be a classic case of asserting as fact something one doesn't actually know.
The only post of yours that I can find remotely resembling what you claim to have posted is this one from April 1 of this year. This is the entirety of the post:OCanada wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 8:57 amHomer wrote: ↑Tue May 17, 2022 10:20 pmNine days and counting...
Okay, the one final shred of the benefit of the doubt that I was giving you was that maybe you couldn't respond to basic follow-up questions out of respect for persons who'd given you information in confidence.
But if all of this "is not exactly a secret," then why not give details? Why not explain what you're actually talking about, so others can grasp the basis for your claims and respond accordingly?
Well you nailed it for sure. BTW, and for your benefit, i already posted about several coaches they did not interview and one they did. Respond accordingly? Believe it or don’t believe it, the forum lets false assertions slide. I suggest you start asking for receipts when some start asserting as fact things they do not know. Gresham’s Law
Assuming Scott Marr is (a) one of the three former players and (b) someone you think should have gotten an interview, who are the other two? Or were you referring only to non-alums when you said there were coaches Hopkins should've called but didn't? (If so, then your earlier post wasn't on point at all.)

I was being a little tongue in cheek given how much that name was tossed around the last time Hopkins was searching for an OC.

Let's just say that the "novices" at Cornell are doing quite well (!) and they're considerably younger and less experienced than Steele...I'd be surprised if Steele wouldn't be an outstanding choice for this job, though, as I don't know him personally, that's merely an observation that it's likely that he has as good a tactical 'lax intelligence' as may be found out there. His skills on the field were more brain than brawn.
If I were him (and wanted to stay in coaching), I'd definitely jump at this if offered as going the HS route ain't likely to bring you back into the college coaching opportunities...on the other hand, if he wants to teach school or be an AD that's another matter.
But right now, doesn't he have a job in real estate? Maybe left full-time coaching, HS is just for fun?
I don't think 'young' needs to be an issue, just need the right guy able to grow fast.

That's a largely irrelevant skill for coaching, IMO. Being able to make good split-second decisions on the field, and getting your muscles to carry them out, does not help when you're standing on the sideline.

-He had a very hard job coming into a program, athletic department, and university in transition replacing a beloved ex superstar who was one of the best offensive recruiters in the country and was faced w/pandemic restrictions which looked awful at the time and look ridiculous now.
-The biggest loser is the professional lacrosse media who for a decade+ has been unwilling and unable to give students, alumni, parents and fans a straight story on the clustermess ongoing at the northwest end of Homewood including this latest situation where a coordinator is out after just two years with several key veterans now in limbo. Like a drunk uncle Quint wasted one game talking about a long island hs hof ceremony, a couple of the espn guys can't even pronounce johns hopkins correctly, edward lee provides hs newspaper level content, and dixon shouldn't be on the broadcasts given how compromised he is by his sons situation as well as his relationships w/current student athletes and coaches. Towson's lacrosse media sid posted during that game how there were several dozen media members credentialed for that game to show the interest in Hopkins-so where the heck has the media coverage been about this struggling offense? The offense looked dreadful for the most part all year and I think the defense would've looked a lot better if the offense had been consistent. This will now hopefully start a final exodus of benson era guys who lacked size, speed, athleticism, and dodging ability and who had grown too comfortable in a program mired in mediocrity. epstein bauer chauvette mcdermott raposo can be the first to go.
-I've done a few posts about all the different position changes, lineup changes, lack of transfers and there's just so much here that needs real reporting because this is now a riddle wrapped in an engima.
Let's start w/the obvious questions
whose decision was this
why was it made

There is so much more turnover in the assistant ranks. Guys come and go all the time. They leave for a variety of reasons. And, of course, they get paid a lot less. The thinking behind leaving one assistant gig for another is very different from taking over as the head of the program. I'm sure candidates will inquire as to what the reasons were for Junior's departure.
