Re: Providence College 2010-2011 - Things are looking up.

Things to consider:

-PC's last win this season over a Division 1 program: December 11th
-PC's last win in conference: November 5th
-PC's last road win in conference: October 31st 2009
-Outscored 13-3 by Lowell and Merrimack in their last 2 games

AND...
-Tim Army has a total of 2 total wins after January 16th in the 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 seasons COMBINED

If that's not a recipe for a coaching change, I don't know what is.

It's not happening. They're going to stay with this and the next move will probably be to drop hockey. If they pay attention at all.
This is borderline tragic.

I don't know how much the school gets from Hockey East but it must be a decent amount to be paying Army what he gets and his coaches their pay......the rink has its own income so that is a wash......I really don't think he will be fired because of the money they would have to pay him over the next two years and I don't think the school wants to drop hockey as the girls team does well and title ? would rule here, so we are stuck unless Army decides to resign or makes a ridiculously low buy out offer so his son can develop his skills under another coach

The school must be losing a bundle on hockey and probably has now for many years.

It could end up being more costly to the program -- in the long term -- to retain him and fall further behind in recruiting and turning the program around than keeping him for the sole purposes of saving money in the short-term.

Could it be possible?

UMass has come back against Maine.

Re: Providence College 2010-2011 - Things are looking up.

The bad news = UMass 4 Maine 3

The REALLY bad news = PC fans stuck with Army for at least one more year.

Maybe Army kicked over the water cooler after the 1st period...PC actually outshot them 22-5...so it's either the end of the season or a Conte Forum Slaughter next weekend. Your choice! lol.
