I'm actually on the Fire Schafer, hire Gwozdecky bandwagon. I wouldn't fire Schafer without a coach I thought of as an an improvement, but lo and behold...cbuckser
Bringing this back on topic (but at risk of breaking the united front), as I watch George Gwozdecky's press conference, I am further convinced of the inanity of firing Mike Schafer. Unrealistic expectations yield atrocious decisions.
For my money, UConn might be the best fit. They don't have a coach, he gets a year to get his ducks in a row, then rolls on to HEA with low expectations. They will throw money at him to make a splash in HEA and don't have academic constraints like Harvard or to a lesser extent RPI. And Connecticut is the new hub of college hockey apparently.
Sources say George Gwozdecky, fired by Denver after 19 years, is currently in intense discussions to become next head hockey coach at UCONN

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Give UConn credit. When they go for something, they go all in.

I don't understand why John Buccigross was the least bit surprised. It has been well known that UConn has been looking to upgrade its program as it transitions from Atlantic Hockey to Hockey East. This is an obvious way for UConn to make a splash.
