I was reading all of these "coach of the year" comments and I just thought that this COULD have been Doug Woog, coach of the Minnesota Gophers we are talking about. #1- Doug Woog does a great recruiting job. He gets the All-metro player of the year (Crowley) and the all-state player of the year (Kraft). If you cannot do something with those two, something is wrong. He also gets another offensive minded defenseman, Jason Godbout, who has not lived up to his potential. #2- I have read way too many articles on the amount of times Woog has jumbled the lines and switched players around. He can't find a combination, and when he does, it seems as though he changes it because they just didn't do what he wanted them to do. In my opinion, Woog has been given all the talent needed to win a national championship. Granted, these newcomers are only freshman, but playing in the World Junior Championships as Crowley and LaFleur did, I would expect them to be a little better. The Gophers finished up 16-11-5 (I think), and this to me is dissapointing given all of the talent and combinations he has. So, I claim that DOUG WOOG IS THE BIGGEST LETDOWN OF A COACH THIS YEAR!! Nat Malen Go Gophers! p.s- this does not mean I will leave the gopher faithful.
