Well, first....RM is a good guy. He had 2 decades at the helm which can be good and bad.
I’d sum up the change and temperament of the team/program by looking at it like a productivity bell curve.....It was time for a change, both for him personally and the program.

True but I remain curious as to who expressed a thought about "turning down a chance to attend Yale..." due to a coaching change?
Insightful. Maybe some new leadership will invigorate!
outside!

The only worry is if the new coach does not honor the previous coaches commitments or honors them only to treat the players poorly.

True. The players have advocated to the powers that be for one the assistants to fill the HC roll. But a national search is on and We’ll see how it turns out.
More importantly, Regardless who the new AD finds, the situation is a great illustration for parents to guide your kids to....A) choose a school/campus/environment they will love, enjoy & embrace....over B) success of the soccer program and/or coach.
Since Yale does not award athletic scholarships, the commitment is not financial, and they are already admitted, which is something a new coach could not take away.

Syracuse job is open.
Makes sense for Yale to hire outside if they want a change. Current players only thinking about their situation. Admin thinking about the overall program and future.

This is true for 2019 recruits. Is it the case for 2020 and younger verbal commits?

Ascending coach. Nice guy with lots of success. He will leave for a top program in a few years.

I Don’t know a thing about him other than he’s originally from Connecticut. That said, DD flew home last night and said the team is excited for what lies ahead. 1st assignment from him was for his players to come back fit/ready to roll into beep testing & assessment.....looks to me like he wants to stake his claim/win and I, more importantly my kiddo is pumped up & all about it

20+ years. The new athletic director isn't messing around. They've had multiple long-tenured coaches "resign" under the new AD after poor seasons. My guess is that the baseball coach is next to go.

Woe, time for some new blood, enjoy your Christmas with her.
Nothing warms the heart more than when your kid is pumped and motivated. Good luck and Hapoy holidays!
I met him a few years back when he was at Washington. Yale is lucky to have him. Enjoy the holidays with your dd.I Don’t know a thing about him other than he’s originally from Connecticut.
