A simple "I don't have the faintest clue about hockey" would've sufficed. Ron Mason finished 10th his second season at MSU. Should've fired that guy and saved ourselves the future trouble. Also that Izzo clown went to the NIT his first two years. FIZZO!!!!!!!

MSU wasn't what it is today in Ron Mason's second season. Hollis hired a league commissioner and now MSU hockey is a joke. Spin that any way you want, but it's downright embarrassing what has happened to this program.
And please don't compare this to Izzo. Izzo was an assistant coach, which made him a viable option. Anastos had no coaching experience unless you count some club team from a few decades ago.

You're right about not comparing the two. One took over for Jud Heathcote and the other for Rick fucking Comley. You clearly have no clue about hockey. You don't have the faintest idea who Lou Schmidt is or what the suburban schools are. Tell me about the Midwest elite league? How about the old MNHL? How about the talent shift from the NAHL to the USHL following the dissolution of Compuware? Did you agree with Chris Coury's "techniques" while with Little Caesars?

You may be the first person in history to not want your team to score 60 points. That's absurd. I understand where you're coming from, but to say, "Hey, we don't need to score! Let the defense do the work." is just plan stupid.
What this basically says is that you need your defense to play damn near perfect every game and hope that your offense scores enough not to look stupid. I don't want 60 points a game. I want 70.

Now, first off, I'm also a little bummed we didn't get Chip Kelly to come coach our offense. A sexy hire would have been great, and would have probably earned us this year's May Recruiting Trophy.
But let's consider something about this Bollman hire. First off, isn't our program built on defense and a steady grind-it-out offense? Does anyone here really want the next Rich Rodriguez to come to East Lansing, guns blazing on some gimmicky spread offense that will get smashed by any physical defense in the Big Ten? Yes, Bollman is a "safe" hire, and we're getting a known commodity. But do we need anything else? Do we need to ring up sixty points per game with Narduzzi's defense?
No. And Dantonio knows this. We need an offense that can maintain possession of the ball and put up a modest 20-30 points per game against Big Ten teams. That is not a tall order for anyone except Dan Roushar - and even the most stalwart of the Roushar defenders have to admit that it could not get much worse than putting up 10-16 points in every big game of the year.
So, I don't know how well this is going to work out. But I'm willing to give the guy a chance, because we don't need him to work any miracles. Besides, he's not Dan Roushar, and that already puts him in the plus column in my book.
The Holy Trinity... as I see it.

Dude, why do I have to talk about hockey recruiting or the talent shift? All I have to do is look at the standings and see how far the program has fallen. Other schools battle the same things, and aren't in last place in the league.
No one denies that Anastos isn't connected. Of course he is. He was the former head of arguably the top or 2nd most important college hockey conference.
Mason screwed up by not hiring Jackson, and Hollis made a risky choice that looks like it is going to blow up in his face. Have you seen how empty Munn has been? No one even cares like they used to because Mason and Hollis didn't put hockey as a high priority.
At least Mason's screw-up still got us a national title somehow, though...

The more I think about it, the more I like this hire. He was the OC on a team that had maybe the best 11 year run in B1G history. I don;t care if Tressell called the plays, Bollman was the OC, and did a lot more than just coach the O line.
The OSU fans don;t like him, but I bet his fellow coaches have a lot of good things to say. When you think about it, it actually is a fairly high profile hire. OSU was as good as anyone over the time Bollman was there and now he's our coach.
A good, smart hire.
Sorry to interrupt your meltdown
