bye-bye Buddy

Post by bgbill »

Francis is going home, to be an assistant coach at BU.

I don't have a subscription to USHR, apparently they broke the news.

Good luck, Buddy. You gave a lot and put up with a lot at Bowling Green.
All is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.

Next to Terry Flanagan I've always thought that Buddy was the best assistant coach we've ever had. Certainly adds another interesting twist to the BC-BU rivalry.

Wow! I guess now that their kids are out of high school, the coaching bug finally got him again. I don't think he could ever get it out of his system. It's what he is and what he does!! He'll do well there!! I wish him all the best...unless we are playing against him, of course! :-D

Good luck Buddy, you will be missed!! And like Bill said, you gave a LOT to BG!! Thanks for all you did!!!
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

All joking from the other thread aside, I was actually hoping to see Buddy behind our bench this year as an assistant. One of the great minds of the game. Good luck!

Sad to see them go, but I can't blame him.
