Expectations for the men's team were very high this year. Unfortunately the guys haven't been winning like we hoped they would. It's sad to say goodbye to any Pioneer, but perhaps this is a healthy change.
Good luck, coach! Thanks for your hard work!
Munro got the program from humble beginnings to top 20-25 national program, instilled a lacrosse culture and got a stadium built. That's a nice legacy, but it's time to move on.
Du has the makings of a real revenue-producing spring sport.
Someone very good is going to want this job.
Obviously a Gwozdecky type coach is needed to get DU over the hump and win some NCAA Tournament games.
College sports is 90% recruiting, so someone with a proven track record recruiting is an absolute must.
