I think Amaker can hold out for better jobs, a good job in a bad league is better than a bad job in a good league

Will be interesting to see where Donahue goes

Penn would be my guess.

I could easily see Amaker going to BC. Maybe he likes living in Boston. Maybe his wife has cemented her career. Does he have kids? Maybe they are in high school and the family doesn't want to leave. Maybe BC could make him a financial offer too good to pass up. We lost a lacrosse coach because of family reasons, if "reports are to be believed":-}.

Amaker has a nice $2,000,000 second home on Cape Cod.

I doubt Amaker ever leaves Harvard unless Duke comes calling.  BC does have the advantage of not uprooting his family; from a quick internet search, it appears his wife has an impressive career going with Harvard's med school.  His record at Seton Hall and Michigan was okay, but nothing too sterling, and I think he is smart enough to realize his Harvard success is largely a function of Harvard's willingness to bend the AI to establish a good basketball team.  If he goes anywhere else, he goes back to a level playing field and likely reverts to an average basketball coach.

Cressler leaving the program. Hopefully this is the kind of move it takes to get Andy off his ass and make the move that should be made. I'm disgusted

Agreed, I wouldnt be surprised if Miller leaves next, then we are really screwed. Andy needs to call Donahue now!

Cressler averaged 17 points a game for a team that scored only 64/game, and was only a sophomore.  When you thought it couldn't get any worse...

So it's only hockey where they can't win NCAA games.

Awful news, if true, about Nolan.

The only plus side is if this forces Andy to have to fire Courtney now

Cancer, Harmon (who was a highly-regarded recruit even though he never played) and now Cressler.  You have to hope that gets Andy's attention once he gets back from OKC.  Of course, the school record for losses wasn't enough, so who knows?
