who has first hand knowledge that he got a year of eligibilty back, as the change in fall ball scrimmage participation happened after his hiatus?

My own thought is it's time to rip the band aid off either way as soon as possible - extend him or get the first ticket on the coaching carousel (and maybe walk down the hall to the women's team and see what SS is up to.

I'd love to see SS as the OC next year. With a chance to work with him every day, he could take a player like Epstein to the next level. Plus I think we'd have a more pass oriented offense. Plus you'll have a great player to warm up the goalie. The goalie won't be seeing better shots in the game then he's seeing in the warm-up. Steele, IMO, would bring a lot to the table as far as getting this program back on track.
I'd also love to see Koesterer come back. Last I heard he was DC at UMBC. He could take the face-offs to the next level and work with midfielders whatever his title is. Even if Petro does come back (one year extension??), those two staff changes would be huge IMO. After a 2-4 start and an OT win against the Mount following a decade of mediocrity, staff changes of some kind would seem to be in order.

Foley? Where are you seeing that?

who are the top 5 best candidates for the new job? Who would be the best o coordinator/d coordinator? what are hires going to want from the university? how long should we expect once they start until we're back to memorial day? What should the 3rd coach be? Better to have alum or not? Who are the best/worst recruiters or does it not matter because its hopkins? What alumni have a role in this? who is the search committee? what happens to current kids on the roster, especially frosh? what returning veterans are likely to see their playing time curbed by a new regime? how important is it to have an established coach vs an assistant into first time job? power conference experience-ivy/b1g/acc vs mid major? will WOMBAT get his press credential back under a new regime?What kind of a send off does Petro get from the school?

Move on man.....Foley thing getting old. We should stop hoping to assemble some All Madden team and put our faith in the current staff.

Some would say it’s a pipe dream. But i would pursue Lars and back up the money truck. He’s a proven commodity and has shown that he can turn around a blue blood program. He’s also a guy that loves challenges and is always looking to solve the puzzle. It would also be great to steal Virginia’s coach.

You don't hire a coordinator based on how he shoots when warming up the goalie. Come on.

Steele was a fantastic player of course and I assume has a good mind for offense but where exactly is all this coming from? He has no experience coaching the men's game and the women's team hasn't exactly lit up the scoreboard with him there. In fact they've been pretty average as long as I can remember. I'm not saying he can't or shouldn't coach D1 men's but we actually have no idea whatsoever if that'd be a good idea. There's nothing to go on except for the fact that he was an excellent player himself, and we know being a good player does not always translate to being a good coach.

If you want a young guy with ties to the school then you don't need to look much further than John Crawley. Before the season was cut short Lehigh was 16th in the country in goals per game and he helped sophomore Tommy Schelling reach 11th in points per game. Has also coached at Notre Dame and Colgate (who beat Cuse the year he was there) and is currently playing in the PLL where he was caught on camera basically calling the offense for the Atlas while the head coach stood and watched:

I'd love that, but no way they spend all that money that could be better served by social justice equity programs that could improve neighbor relations, conferences on leadership development, or assistant deans for med school information systems management.

i'm talking about all the posts on this thread. including on the last page.
that foley would've/could've been back this year except for... something clandestine with hopkins/the staff. not the nc$$.
the nc$$ changed the rule on redshirt eligibility recently (last 2 years), saying off season contests no longer burned a redshirt possibility. that was after foley's situation, so i was asking who knows that he got an ex-post facto ruling for that to believe he could have played.

Crawley would be a very interesting choice. The guy clearly had no problems taking over the huddle and directing some of the best players in the world. He seemed to have the attention and respect of everyone there. I remember seeing that live and then finding it not surprising when John Paul announced stepping down from Atlas HC duties after the season was over.

Questions now are 1) who actually decides to come back and 2) Does the Ivy League waive its no graduate athlete policy for next year? Quick, someone send a care package to the Sowers, Ierlan, and Teat homes.

If Hopkins is serious about returning the program to its former status, the best person for the job is Marc Van Arsdale. Offensive genius, great recruiter, family man, Magna cum laude student.

Posted: **Fri Mar 13, 2020 3:51 pm**

So we wouldn't want Steele Stanwick but we would want Crawley? Ludicrous - Who cares about ties to the school anymore? FYI - the year before Stanwick joined the staff the Hopkins women scored 187 goals and had 92 assists - the next year 247 goals and 103 assists. Yes 3 more games played but 3 games doesn't add up to 60 goals more. The year after that - with only one more game than the year before he came - 213 goals. The Hopkins women have never failed to score less than 200 goals in his tenure (had 238 goals last year) and as we can all realize the Hopkins women are up against some real juggernauts like the Lady Terps/Cats/Heels and they are probably never going to get classes with three 5 stars. He is probably the greatest mind I have seen as a player in the last 10 years - he's young, charismatic yet old enough to possibly command respect - who worked harder and did more with his gifts than that kid? Family name probably wouldn't hurt on the recruiting trail either. I would want my players to know what that guy knows.

The Sun's original article reporting Haus's departure calls Petro "the prime candidate," doesn't mention any other names:
