Red isn't where he used to be but if he left we could certainly hire someone new and have them be worse than 'fading Red Berenson' next year so I'm ok with this. Hopefully he can keep a chunk of the CCM line around (or all of it if I'm really dreaming) and see where he gets in his last shot at it all

Red Berenson is fucking awesome. And he still is.

The man scored 6 goals in one 8-0 hockey game. Record still stands.

And the UM hockey players love the man. For good reason.

That's all you need to know.

The end.

The tournament will forever be a crapshoot and we just had the best offense I can remember in a long time. Stay as long as you want!

I don't follow college hockey. I do know, that not many coaches who hang on as long as red has, end up going out on a high note. If red thinks he's gonna go out with a national title, he's delusional.

How will we have better goaltending next season? I've heard this repeated in a couple of places and it's just false. Racine is graduating, Nagelvoort hasn't shown anything to make people believe that he'll be consistently good, and our incoming freshman tender is from the NAHL. He was productive there, but it's not even high US juniors. He'll need plenty of time to adjust to the compeititon level. Racine would start next year if he were coming back, our goaltending is going to be a weakness again.

I'm not a huge hockey guy, but I have always enjoyed watching his teams. He is still a great coach and I am appreciative of everything he has done for the hockey program and the university. Sometimes fans take success for granted. We've learned the hard way that consistent winners are not easy to replace in football and basketball. If Berenson thinks he can coach at a high level, then he should be able to do so. I'm disappointed with our fans lack of appreciation for anything but a NC.

But my two cents as a big Michigan hockey guy is that people aren't upset bc we arent winning National Titles, but because we're normally one of the most talented teams in the country and the defenses have just been rough the last four years with no signs of improving. I don't take for granted the success we've had with Red, but a lot of other coaches could've molded the talent we have into a top 10 unit

The tournament is not a "crapshoot"--Red won only two titles, played for only one more, and was bounced in the final four many times.

His teams were exciting, monumentally so, but he should have been able to win at least 3 more NC's with what he brings in. The team was uber-talented for 20 years, more than any other program, yet lacked the IT factor

The season that really captures that was the famous 38-2 (or so) season. I believe it was sometime around '92-95 (the Steve Shields teams)--they lost to LSSU in the conference final--and I thought RUH ROH.

Yep. Doinked in the NCAA's without eaven getting to the Frozen Four. I know everyone wants to yell, "HEY IT'S MICHIGAN THE REFS CALLED 42,000 PENALTIES AGAINST US AND SHOT THREE OF OUR PLAYERS IN THE BACK WITH MACHINE GUNS!!!"

But, good teams don't whine about refs, and Red, while bringing UM back from the dead, fielded teams that were easily pushed around as the pyramid of playoff hockey got smaller at the top.

He do need to go.

Do you even know what the "IT" factor is...? If Red doesn't have it then exactly who does? Red has had more championship level consistency in his career than any other coach out there besides maybe York. If Red didn't have John Gibson and Jack Campbell decomitt last minute he would have had the goaltending to go along with some of these super talented offensive teams. Plug in Campbell instead of Billy Sauer in the Frozen Four against ND or Gibson instead of Racine over the last couple years...there is your mythical missing "IT" factor.

Hockey is a crapshoot, you could have the most talented team in the world and lose a single game even on the biggest of stages. Hell you can even lose a best of seven series thanks to a combination of puck luck and facing a hot goalie. When a national championship is decided on neutral ice in single elimination hockey it is most definitely a crap shoot.

I'm okay with this.  Actually, selfishly I'm really happy. He's a legend and I'm not ready for someone else to take the reigns.  Let's hope he can go out on top next year.
