      Agreed.he used the term "indebted" intimating indebted to the program and he leaves to a great team yeah, but one with disfunction between coach and gm...not good.

      I just wish he would have stuck it out for at least the 3-year contract
      Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!


      "but you're not as confused as him are you. it's not your job to be as confused as Nigel". Tap pt 1.

      "I think it's ****ing stock. What--? Which part of that is unclear to you? I think it sounds stock to my ears. I mean, do you want me to write it down?" Tap Pt. 2

        I think the dysfunction between Quennville and Bowman on the Hawks is a bit overblown. There is no way Granato would go to Chicago if he wasn't comfortable with the situation there. You can't really blame him for seizing this opportunity either. A dynamic coach that has succeeded at every level and with a chance to go to one of the premier organizations in all professional sports. Because of the NHL Salary Cap the Blackhawks will be forced to go with many young players in the line up. Don Granato is a perfect fit for what the Hawks need. He has extensive experience coaching young players. UW will be just fine as well. Tony Granato has established himself as one of the best college coaches in the country in only one season at the helm. Top recruits are now looking at UW as the place they want to be. The Badgers will continue to thrive with the current coaches and whomever they bring in as the new assistant.

          Yeah, I'm in the kinda bitter camp. Now opposing recruiters can use that against UW....."you don't know how long those guys will be around, Junior". Gone after 1 year is a bad look, though Donnie did say UW was ahead of where they thought they would be, though I'm sure he was a big reason for the turn around. TG has some big shoes to fill.

            Agree with the recruiting scenario and like TJK said, all the bull**** of working together, rah rah, seems hollow. The NHL is so volatile; the team has a worse than expected season, you get a couple big ego guys not agreeing (coach v GM v hockey operations) and the entire coaching staff is on the street.

              Hopefully, before he signed that contract he had Charles Barkley's agent look it over.

              Go to the 1:15 mark

                Oz had a picture on Twitter the other day of he and his family eating with Kevin Patrick. I wonder if he is in the mix as a potential Assistant Coach?

                    Don has been hired by Chicago.
                    Someone better at least call the UWSP head coach to see if he wants in. Doubtful but still.

                      I don't see how they could have kept three coaches of that caliber for very long.

                            If Tony thinks Mark is moving on, maybe Strobel would be a good pick. I am sure he would be in for a pretty significant raise over Ohio St.

                              I was thinking if Strobel is the number 2 at osu this makes great sense as insurance if OZ leav s because osu recruiting has been good under Rohlik/Strobel
