I'd certainly add football to the "move on" list (Bicknell, Teevens and Ferentz), but the common denominator for those who stay for an extended period (e.g. Jack Cosgrove currently) is usually some deep UMaine roots. Perhaps upon hiring, each new UMaine coach should be duct taped to a chair and made to view Stephen King's commencement address from this year. Read it at: http://www.stephenking.com/com_address/ Caught it on C-SPAN the other day and it was a joy to hear and see (but why didn't they take down the goal judge booth behind him at the Alfond ? -- there's some hockey content for you) Dan Deron Treadwell wrote: > >With exception of hockey, Maine really is just a place for coaches and >administrators to gain some experience and move on.
