Regarding the "Len Ceglarski can't coach his way out of a paper bag" quote (most amusing) and Jeremy's subsequent questioning of the fickleness of the fans who would say such a thing: The complaint is not a new one among BC alumni. For years, BC fans have complained that Lenny could not win the big ones. Each year, the Eagles are loaded with talent yet never seem to be able to win big games. After a while, the blame can only be assigned to the coaching staff. As an example let me cite a few BC stats since the inception of Hockey East (7 seasons): 6 regular season titles / 7 years during these 7 years: 2 Hockey East Tournament championships (ok, maybe) 0 (yes, identically zero) Beanpot Championships (this doesn't sit well with alums at all) 2 visits to final four, both losing in the semifinals For a team that routinely plays through the regular season acclaimed as the best hockey team in the east, these results are just not good enough. So an ouster by Alaska-Anchorage simply revives a deep-seated feeling among BCers that Lenny, while a great recruiter, does not coach a game very well and does not prepare a team for a big game properly. So when you hear things like "he can't coach his way out of a paper bag" (I really like that one :), understand that this is not a one-time, fickle-fan complaint, but one brought out quite often in certain circles, wrought from long-suffering with teams that are supposed to be great but never seem to play as well as they can in the most important games.
