Re: RPI Engineers 2017-2018
Would I be ok with it? Well, that depends on the circumstances. Given the fact (don't take into consideration how the firing happened, just look at the fact that it DID happen) that there is only a couple of months before the season starts, yes, I'm ok with it, and would be if something similar happened with the men's program. Why? Well, good question. Having the "interim" label at least gives the program some sort of continuity. It IS a bit easier to call recruits who are in danger of leaving and saying "Hi, I'm (insert name), the new coach of (program.) I am taking over the team on an interim basis, and hopefully, you and I can help right the ship and take this program to bigger heights than ever before," rather than "Hi, I'm (insert name), the (position) at (program). We are in the process of hiring a new coach, and, while we don't yet know who that will be, we hope that you will stick with us while we attempt to the right the ship."
Now, I don't know about you, but option 1 sounds much more appealing to someone coming in. Happens all of the time in other revenue-producing sports. Why does that happen if its so bad to have the interim title?
On a side note, Alot of fans here who don't normally care or follow RPI women's hockey are now talking about it, which is a good thing. So either they are now interested or just taking another opportunity to rag on the RPI leadership. So, now let me ask you this: If you are someone who normally doesn't care about the women's hockey program, what makes you any different than the administration?
