Fire the coach thread....

[pdt1081]

There isn't a revenue sport at BGSU I look forward to going to see anymore. Not a single program can give any reasonable assurance of being able to win on their own home turf, ice, or court.

Reading this makes me believe more and more that the problem isn't just coaching....

Brought over from a locked thread. Thank you all for your understanding.

Please don't have people writing about how there is only suppossed to be one "fire the coach thread" because in my opinion there should be thousands. There should be a point where people say enough is enough, the time is here. why can't people see? There is a severe lack in leadership on the team = coaches, no changes in line ups to create a spark = coaches, no players playing hard, its hard when you don't believe in the person you are suppossed to follow = coaches, the thought that losing is ok becuase there was some positives = coaches, ruining a players lack of imagination = coaches, taking the fun out of coming to the rink = coaches, I could go on but I dont think I need to because you fans are seeing the finished product of all these things on the ice. It is embarassing. This hockey team is becoming the joke of the nation. We gave Paluch the chance to turn it around and for whatever the reason it hasn't been done, lets give someone else a try. I am sick of hearing stupid things like players should shoot more on the PP becuase that should be a given and something the coaches should be making clear. Talk like that doesn't add to this board becuase they aren't the root problem. If we take care of the problem at the root all other worries will fall into place.

Seriously, I don't get the censorship here. RUIT, you are a moderator on the football board as well. If you are going to lock all the fire the coach threads on the hockey board, you ought to do the same thing on the football board. I just don't get the double standard.

Unlike the football forum, this is a smaller community in hockeyburg and there is no need for 534 "Fire the coach" threads.

Thank you for your consideration and effort in complying with this very simple request.

Incidentally, is Kevin Schmidt related to Paluch? He is never off the ice, any idea why?

LOL. Is he related I would say no. But i asked him anyways.....answer Nope.

The reason for locking all the threads is becuase some people have such a hard time realizing what many other people have already seen. The coach is the biggest problem with this team. Stop looking at the shots on the PP, becuase the coach is the one who makes up the PP squad and well as the formations. Stop thinking that all the players aren't working hard because it is hard for people to try their best for someone they don't believe in. Stop thinking the lines should be changed becuase the coach is the one who makes that decision. Stop asking if there is enough talent, becuase there is, even if there isn't the coaches are the ones who recruited them. Stop asking for leadership becuase the coach is the first one who has to provide it. Is there a recurring theme here. Maybe some of you might actually take a hint already or are you going to wait till we are in last place oh wait we are already there.

We get it. We hear you. Coach is bad. Understood. My question to you is this: Are players tanking it to get the coach fired?

As a former player, I'm sure you are really close with these guys. Are they still giving it their best effort under the obviously difficult circumstances? It seems like you are suggesting that they aren't.

P.S. - It's really killing me that you won't I.D. yourself, although I understand why you wouldn't.

The reason for locking the threads is because some of us actually like discussing BGSU Hockey and not constantly hearing why the coach should be fired. It gets old after awhile and there are a lot more things to discuss than just firing the coach. But lately, nothing has been discussed because a few certain posters try to turn every thread into a "Fire the Coach" thread. This is your thread so you can discuss firing the coach all you want, without bothering the rest of us who have been a part of BGSU hockey for longer than you ever were.

Get one.

No censorship. I call it "focus." They can say whatever they want, just channel it to this thread. My boss endorses this action, by the way.

No big deal, really.

Why does some guy at an insurance agency care about what you do on the internet.

As said by bigdog earlier, Pooch needs to shake up the lineup in areas other than just the 4th line all the time. The 3rd and 4th liners are the guys that come to play each and every night because they don't know when they will be in the lineup again.

I haven't been to practice to watch on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I would be willing to bet that the scout team power play, and the scout team penalty kill is taking it to the starters in practice. He just needs to take a closer look at the guys that are producing right in front of his eyes. I've witnessed him ignore this in the past.

[bigdog]

I don't know if they are giving it there all, I would assume they are because I know them and hold high respects for them. I do know first hand how hard it is to play everynight for someone you think may be the dumbest human on earth and you don't believe in.

[It's the Journey...]

I don't buy that at all. They didn't sign on to play for Pooch. They signed on to play for BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY!! Pooch is only the coach. If they are having trouble playing for the honor and pride of their school then maybe they should get the hell off the team. And that goes for all of our athletes. The name on the front is far more important than the name on the back. And the name on the front is way more important than the coach. If that is even one of the reasons why we are not reaching our potential then my whole impression of this team, coaches and players alike, has just changed drastically. I really don't give a damn who disagrees with me or is offended by what I have said. If it's a current player then look in the mirror and decide where your loyalties lie. For as much as we like to blame coaches, there are those on the court, field, ice that aren't getting it done either. So, play hard or go home!
