    Here's the thing. It has been said he wasn't interested in taking over the reigns when Joe Marsh stepped aside, so is it fair to say he was "overlooked" then?

    There's no saying that he is interested or not this go around. Time will tell.

      The Sports Management program at UMASS, from which it's been reported that Carvel got a graduate degree, is a highly regarded program. Many of its most influential alumni are in professional sports. Moreover, a great many, if not most UMASS athletes are Sports Management Majors. Both the Chancellor and the President have made, in the past, comments around sports being the "front door" to the university. This may turn out to be a good fit and great career move for Carvel if he can build a support base outside of the athletic department into both faculty and alumni. They have got some good talent but may need some discipline. I would bet he makes his presence felt immediately and he knocks off some of the leagues primadonnas in his first year.

        Mike Hurlbut is a terrific coach and he will almost certainly stay loyal to SLU. If he doesn't end up as HC, he'll be a great asset to whoever does, and he'll offer stability to present and committed players. We were obviously wrong about Greg, but the next great SLU coach is out there somewhere.
        So much for, in Greg's words, SLU being his dream job. Just show me the money and dreams vanish quickly.

        Enough is enough.............between helmet goals and SLU unable to keep its coaches (see Mark Raymond as well), I need to stop being a sports fan. My heart doctor says so!

          Brian, I hope you rethink this when the shock wears off. Just because SLU might be his dream job doesn't mean that another job that provides different opportunities and more money and financial security isn't the right decision for him. I've always had a good amount of respect for Coach Marsh and the junior college program over there in Far West Potsdam and I think Greg continued where he left off. I'm sure the athletic director will look for someone in the same mold to keep a proud program going. I just hope he doesn't look to a successful women's coach to the east.

            I met Greg when he was with Anaheim and we had a long talk at Bright during a Saints-Crimson game. I really enjoyed his perspective on hockey, scouting players, talent evaluation, schemes, etc... . He's intelligent and the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and talk hockey. Big gain for UMass and I'm sorry you guys are losing him. But let's face it, the exposure in Hockey East is significant and while recruiting will be tough (going against BC, BU, UNH, Providence, etc..), it's a small price to pay.

            We're going to lose Paul Pearl very soon as well - perhaps when Norm Bazin accepts a pro job which is coming soon.

                My choice right now would be Matt Desrosiers as new head coach. I like his system that he teaches and he can get his team up for the big games. He is also a great recruiter and I believe he and Mike would fit well together

                  There are many valid reasons for Greg to be attracted to tha UMASS job. I think the issue some people have is that he did lead everyone to believe he had found his dream job in Canton only to jump ship very suddenly and unexpectedly. He didn't just leave SLU, he left SLU in the lurch. He certainly has every right to pursue opportunities that he thinks are best for his family. But he really has hurt his St. Lawrence family: this was his program and he has damaged it.

                  None of this means he's an evil person or that Bob Durocher won't find the person who will make St. Lawrence a championship program. There are a lot of great people who might want to coach SLU, at least one of whom is already here. But that doesn't change the feeling that Greg misled a lot of people and dealt a blow to the program people were counting on him to carry into a better future.
