Baseless Speculation

Is it possible we could have a new coach this coming year? Schafer's youngest child is graduating from Cornell this spring and this might be the time for him to retire...

I'm NOT saying it's going to happen, but all things considered, I could see it happen.

Would be absolutely shocked if he doesn't come back next year, given that we are going to begin the season as legitimate national title contenders.

Schafer's youngest child is Michelle, who is a sophomore at Penn State.

I can't believe that this is even thought about, say nothing about posting after the team played their hearts out and could have won.

It seems every year there's discussion about Schafer, but couldn't we at least wait till the team gets back home?

From CHN article "Not the Same Bitter Defeat for Cornell",Schafer quote:

""Disappointed? I mean 25 wins. We're in the NCAA's, so I got a job for a couple more years, hopefully," he joked. "Things are good."

Sounds like he's staying

Unless A.N. decides to fire him and hire the hockey-equivalent of Matt Kerwick.

Spoke to a cornell staffer at the game who said that Schaefer is apparently looking at a trip to play ASU next Christmas time.

ASU is making strides. Next year I can see them getting to .500 or so

Oh fuck yes.

Kevin Linsey: Cornell Athletics Should Retire Schafer's Jersey

redice · May 04, 2018, 07:58:30 AM

I disagree with Mr Linsey on this one.. Retired jersey's are to honor one's accomplishments as a player. I watched all of Mike's home games and some road games... I can say that, from a fan's perspective, he was a very solid defenseman and clearly a leader on his teams. I believe they won one ECAC title during his time on The Hill. None of this is the makings of a outstanding playing career, just a very solid playing career. And, he is obviously a very solid person, off the ice!!

As a coach, I have criticized him in the not-to-distant past. But, the play of the 2017-18 team has shown that Mike is, indeed, able to change with the times and has his team playing a style that involves more skating & skill... Love it!! Couple this with his past accomplishments as coach and it's clear that Mike deserves some great honor to be bestowed by the University, just not the uniform retirement.
