Too bad Coach Haverty doesn't get coach of the year but, once again, it's all about
politics. 



maybe the coach from the best team in the league should get the coach of the year?

The coach with the best team should not get the coach of the year unless that team only has average players.  Look at how Maine was in the past, I would give that coach my vote since they over achieved.  Anybody can coach a bunch of ballers.  It's the guy who can make a below average bunch of players into an above average team that deserves it.

If I'm not mistaken Curry and Fitchburg both have 2 losses, and Curry plays in the weaker Boyd division. Yes, Endicott beat Fitchburg and Curry beat Endicott, but you could say the same thing in the reverse with Maine Maritime. Coach Haverty is more deserving of the Coach of the Year award, the Curry players (Charlie Gibbs) worked their way back into the second game with that punt return for a TD with 46 seconds left in the half, not because of Nelson's coaching. His players barely outplayed the Fitchburg players and he escaped that championship game by the skin of his teeth. Coach Haverty continually goes unrecognized by the conference for the complete turnaround he has made up there in Fitchburg. Maybe if he had played in the NFL the conference might be more inclined to suck up to him.

I bet the fact that nelson is an nfl guy makes many a little jelous and want to spite him a little.  All I heard is how fitchburg has all these great players and stuff and then they cant do it in the big game?


SullyMustGo

Exactly, I don't think Haverty deserves it because like Utah said they have all these "great" transfers everyone talks about and he still can't win the conference title.  Nelson doesn't deserve it because he has great talent to work with. Maine's coach or Endicott's is the most deserving.

First off all these teams ranked higher than Bridgewater in the D3 New England coaches poll are terrible! What is this all conference garbage at WR? June Jones' kid Jon Jones gets all conference over my man Mark Hull!!!!! My boy Hull got 6 more catches 75 more yards and 5 more touchdowns. that's weak.
Next Trinity and Colby play in a league with Rick Moranis and Al Bundy wannabees.  Is this Little Giants??? Who do you play??? Keanu Reeves and the replacements??? How about NO ONE!!!!!
I am not one to call out any individuals but how about Bill Grammatica kicking for Curry, you're awful!!!!
What about this"
Too bad Coach Haverty doesn't get coach of the year but, once again, it's all about
politics. "---Politics?? how about running a wannabee community college program with all the drop outs/ transfers??? What is this the D3 version of the NBA (taking stupid high schoolers with game???) What's up with the field situation??? A high school field? You afraid of losing your homecoming game?? So you reschedule your homecoming and field opening so you don't get stomped?
Oh and by the way we're coming Fitchburg....we are gonna come to your house, eat your food, have our way, and stomp our muddy feet where the sun don't shine!!!! Pull out the Kleenex little boys, dry the tears,  I know it was a fun season, time to go home to watching "remember the titans","rudy", and all those other feel good stories. Cuz we're gonna make this one hurt.

wasnt jones hurt for a few games?

bridgewater would lose by 50 to trinity, 40 to williams, amherst and colby...probably by 20 to bowdoin.....

I have to agree that Nelson does not deserve the NEFC Coach of the year.  His team was not as good this year as they were the past two years and that is because he didn't have the same caliber of players which shows that he has to have great players not that he is a good coach.  I agree with SullyMustGo that Endicott's coach Wells is a better candidate.  In 4 years he has taken a brand new program and made them contenders for the Boyd division and has improved their record every year.  If you look at the NEFC All-Conference team he has done it without superstars like Curry has.  That is coaching.  Maybe it is too tough a decision for the NEFC to choose a Coach of the Year so they just automatically give it to the conference champ.  Maybe they should not give out a Coach of the Year until an NEFC Team wins a game in the NCAA Tournament.

Frankee2time, if your going to post, make sure your facts are straight.  The field @ FSC was installed incorrectly by the contractor paid by the state.  It had to completely ripped up and reinstalled.  The field is now completely finished.  That was the reason for the change to the Lunenburg High School field.  The new "field turf" is synthetic and doesn't have "mud" anywhere. I think that you'll find the field facilities there a little bit better than those @ BSC.  As for those who comment about the "bailers" & "dropouts" at FSC, doesn't a player have the right to transfer from a program that he's unhappy with to another where he feels that he could achieve at a higher level.

Just look at how competitive this conference has become, we've got posters slinging mud from "field turf"!!!

Well, its been a while, but I am glad to return to the forum.  I must say, it seems as if my Gulls got screwed, but that is for another day.  What is this madness that is being run around this board about Coach Haverty deserving coach of the year this year.  Wow, The Maine guy or Mr Wells far outcoached Haverty (who has good talent, and should be congradulated for recruiting) with lesser players.  Maine stunk last year, granted that FB that returned was a MAN playing with boys, they still improved more than anyone else.

As for this Bridgewater player yelling and screaming about fields, wow, what would you have liked to have about the lack of a field at the time at Fitchburg, played on the area where the field was going to be?  It seems like those guys at Fitchburg did a decent job finding a field that was playable.  Did it slant to a side when Fitchburg had the ball, and then the other way when you did?  Cut those guys some slack and be happy you are playing a their new field now.

PS, how about some pictures online of the field FSC?  Seems like a good selling point to kids?

GO GULLS, oh wait, we got screwed!

i dont know exactly how the ECAC selections go, but i was under the impression that any team with a winning reord is eligible. Then every team over .500 has a choice to participate or not. I would assume that there are a fair number of teams that would not want to partipate due to teh costs.

any feed back on this idea

Gullgrad......How did the Gulls get screwed?

Well, I'm glad that Fitchburg has an opportunity to play another game.  The first time I saw them play was the Bridgewater game at the high school.  If I remember correctly FSC had a couple of their key players hurt that day.  I saw someone had Bridgewater scoring 35 points.  Only if the defense decides to take the day off.  The defense is also very healthy for this game as well as the offensive backfield.   I was at the Curry game last week.  It was a game for the ages.  FSC should be really up for this game and will not let BSC downfield.  The last game was a long pass down field by BSC that they scored on.  That won't happen this time.  Their new field is excellent and if you are going to tailgate there should be a party after the game.  FSC 28 - BSC 17
