Re: Maine Off Season 2011
Bucky Badger is right. The Abbott hire makes a lot of sense.
The first thing it means is that Whitehead is not going anywhere for 2 more years. But who didn't know that, already?
The more important thing about the Abbott hire is that it's only for 2 years. I think that means that Abbott and Whitehead just got married.
What UMaine has really done here is to give itself the flexibility to coordinate national searches for a hockey coach and AD. They've aligned those contracts pretty well.
Not much to do for the next 2 years except to sit back and (try to) enjoy the ride. In a couple years, when it's more realistic to think about the future of Maine hockey, we can only hope that UMaine makes the most of the opportunity it's given itself with the short-term Abbott hire. Don't blow it, guys.
