The thing is... this day [I]is going to come[/I]. Delaying that day is only creating a more imposing hill to climb for the next guy.

The problem with the argument "be careful what you wish for" etc. is that it ignores the inevitable. It's not a matter of If but of When. I guess the 'optimists' are dreaming of a scenario where JB coaches for a few more years and drills the current frosh into tournament winners as they mature. That sure would be a nice way to end a career. But, those people tend to be myopic and only look at the current situation: "they're so young" and not the downward hockeystick trendlines over the past 10 years. It's not about this year. JB is not becoming a better coach. "Experience" isn't the key. JB's "experience" is from a different era and he doesn't seem too invested in learning and committing effort to the new era.

Seriously, i cannot fathom wanting to retain a coach who doesn't do anything for half the practice, and half-asses it in recruiting, to boot. If we were winning at a high clip, maybe he skates on that. We're not. He shouldn't.
