Colorado Mammoth Message Board

Hey steve,
I am very happy with your drafting this year. I am a big fan of andrew spack. I am wondering how you came upon Bob McMahon as our new coach. I was just wondering because if i remember correctly he previously coached the Albany Attack and i don't remember them being very good. However it was the game we played them here at home on our opening season that got me hooked on lacrosse. And oone more thing. If you could talk to Kronke about playing "The Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stephani after the Mammoth goals it would be great. At Rockies games it gets the crowd roaring.

Thank you for your post and great question!

Bob McMahon and I have known each other in the NLL for a very long time but have never had the opportunity to work with each other. I have always admired his style and coaching from a distance. He is extremely well liked by his colleagues and players, they all can't say enough about him.

We began talking a few weeks ago and hit it off right away. His style is very similar to what our players have been used to in the last two years. His approach and passion for the game are something that I took an instant admiration to.

Our players were all consulted in the process and were excited because of all the things that they have heard from his current and former players. Those guys all love him. He is a great tactition of the game while being a great movitator.

The Albany Attack were a very good team and went 14-2 one year on their way to a berth in the Champions Cup. The following year in Albany, i beleive the team succumbed to a dissappointing turn of events in their ownership which may have cost them several games.

In Arizona, Bob has been instumental in leading that team to 4 straight Western Division Final appearances and 2 Championship Game appearances.

With our team and his leadership we could be poised for a very long run at the top of the division. We are very excited to have Bob and hope that the team will continue to entertain our fantastic supporters!!!!

As for the music, Mr. Kroenke doesn't spend a lot of time playing songs, but we have been pretty sucessful with the current goal song and I don't think we plan on changing it any time soon.

Let's hope we here it plenty of times at Rockies games in the next few weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for a quick response and that really helped me understand things better. I loved the first season goal song if thats worth anything.
