On Friday afternoon, the UW Athletic Board met to discuss the contract situations of all of the winter sports coaches. Typically this results in each coach adding an additional year to their contract, which keeps it on a five-year rolling plan. There has been speculation among fans since the hockey season ended that Wisconsin should search for a new men’s hockey head coach after Tony Granato presided over one of the worst seasons in program history in 2021-22.
Hell, I called for Granato’s job back in November and the rest of the season did nothing to change my mind.
