[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]To the people that actually matter, there is no problem with the current Prep lacrosse program. [/i]

This is a false statement. I know several prominent alums who are outraged at the state of the current lacrosse program, some of them have deep pockets too.

Not all of them are banging on the door to bring back Giblin but do feel change is needed on the current staff. [/quote]

Well, we will have to disagree on who is &quot;prominent&quot; and who is &quot;outraged&quot; and who knows what they are talking about and who doesn't.

The good news is we will see who is right based on what actually occurs.

If Urick is replaced and the school goes about a high-energy search to find a replacement, you may be right.

If they don't, than I guess you are wrong or you misread your sources, didn't know who actually mattered or just made this up.

Even those who like Giblin the most recognize there is zero chance that would ever even be considered.

Look if anyone &quot;prominent&quot; is not alarmed with the direction of the program at Prep, they are not looking after the best interests of the school and the current student athletes. This is not Sidwell Friends. Giblin is not the answer, but it is not Urick either.  There are dozens of high school coaches in this region who are 'program builders' that would be superior to the current coach in energy, relationship building and instruction. Admit the mistake and cut your losses. Once you screw up a succession plan it takes years to recover....poor on field results&gt; lack of interest from talented players who go to other programs (many in IAC/WCAC) &gt; worse on field performance &gt; repeat.

This sounds like a post from one of those "program builders" that would like to interview for the job.

When was the last time a Prep coach was fired because of a popular uprising over team performance? I'd say the answer to that is "Never".

If losing to Landon when Prep had a superior team was a mortal sin, Fagan and Paro would have been fired decades ago.

Besides, I don't think the school is all that interested in the recommendations of Landon, Bullis and Gonzaga boosters.

There is no alarm on the part of anyone who really counts. The return of the lax program to being just another sport offered is fine.

What happened with Charlie Horning?  His two year record of 25-11 is better than Urick's 23-14.  I believe he was a long time assistant coach at Prep.  Did he leave on his own, or was he let go?[/quote]
