Message: [QUOTE="JellyBean, post: 4105081, member: 1997"] Coach Stollings did well here in Minnesota. It was odd not seeing her come back but that is the nature of the business. Coach Whalen has some pieces in place and they are getting better each year, which is the goal of any program. I do know that with Stollings players Whalen had a pretty good run. Those players left and Coach Whalen had to move on. As for missing out on some of the state's great talent. LOL. Must have miss the part about how she (Whalen) has the programs best recruiting class in history coming in next year. Anyway not sure who comes up with those terms but all I do know is, not all talent stays at home. Some kids want to get out and go see other places. Some kids have goals of playing elsewhere. That is not Coach Whalen's fault. Kids either have a desire to stay home and play for the home team or they go elsewhere. Nothing wrong with that. How many years should she get compared to the previous coach? Who knows. That is up the AD and the boosters. If they see a steady progression, all is good. If there is a huge drop off and things look awkward and the program is a hot mess, then the AD will probably hear from the boosters and then make the call. But for the most part, Coach Whalen, in this case, is safe. [/QUOTE]
