Bloom and Viall have been taken down from the Bowdoin coaches page, although not yet replaced by quicksilver's information. This unfortunately implies that Michaeles stays.

Does anyone on here (besides colbyfootball who appears to have taken down his last post) actually know Michaels?  Or if Michaels is a good coach or knows what he is doing?  Has anyone talked to other coaches and have been told that Michaels isn't a good coach and doesn't know what he is doing?

Good point Jonny. Ive known many players and members of the coaching community who have always spoken very highly of Michaeles. We've had a bitter helicopter parent on this board who has harbored a strong hatred for Micheales because he benched his son.  This pretty much set the tone here. Looking beyond that Micheales has a very strong group of supporters especially among his former players

I will admit to have been swayed, not only by the aforementioned Colby parent but by other comments on this Board.  I didn't realize this until reading Jonny's post today that I've condemned Coach Michaeles without any personal evidence and I apologize.  It's in my rooting interest that he is a good coach.  I'll be more careful.

I personally know the Michaeles and can say  they are great people. I've been saddened by the attacks against his character and have found some statements to be only partially or completely untrue. You can argue all day about whether he made a good head coach  in a challenging environment  ( which is quite different from being an assistant coach). All I can attest to is their personal character is top notch imo.  Everybody has different experiences with different people in life so you'll never find everybody in agreement  but knowing them personally, I know some of the ins and outs of what they've gone through in the last couple of years.  Outside of politics, there are not a lot of jobs where your future is constantly uncertain and your family can be openly insulted.  It would be nice to just let them be and focus on Ws  & Ls or Xs & Os.  Or even the battle of admissions or who has the best recruits. Your board is often much more intellectual and interesting to follow than many D1 schools I've followed when the subject matter is respectful.

Interesting stat. Wish it meant W's for Colby but at least shows discipline 
Several other NESCAC teams on top too!

Colby football
They've done this before and have family on both coasts.  Their marraige will be fine. 😀
