Did Nero handpick someone to be left in charge to make sure that when he left to be the commish, they wouldn't let it get this bad? Or did the school find someone themselves that clearly didn't know what to do?

I'm glad that you posted this ccd......I was going to, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. It has been one disgusting year up in Orono......unfortunately, no one seems to care or do anything about it (although they did just fire the softball coach).

Good choice. Softball was the only sport that counts wins and losses in which the Bears even sniffed .500 in the conference.

Fire Cosgrove. Maine was flagged for 4 personal fouls as I typed this post.
Fire Whitehead. I'm actually not in the "Fire Whitehead" camp. I think he's done fine.
Fire Woodward. Technically, I'm in the "One more year to prove himself" camp.
Fire Blodgett. I think this was an indefensibly bad hire, but I don't think you can fire her yet.
Fire Trimper. I stand full heartedly behind this. Baseball in America East should begin and end with the Maine Black Bears. This team should NEVER have a losing record in conference

I think that Maine's biggest problem at this point is that they have absolutely burned bridges in the New England coaching community and most likely have a reputation as one of those places that "you don't want to go" (and I'm not even talking about the financial, facilities, or recruiting difficulties). James has fostered an atmosphere of irreparable damage.......he needs to go so that Maine can start the long slow process of rebuilding the entire athletic program.
