If a decision really was made this quickly, I have a pretty strong feeling that it's Pearson.

I guess we'll know Monday morning if the paint store got the right info.

Pearson it is.

Pearson it is.

do you mean, "Pearson it is", or "Pearson it is"?

I'm a bit surprised if Mel is actually coming to Tech if the rumors are true.

Red must have told him that he is planning on coaching even longer than his current two years remaining on his contract.

I'm just wondering if the BTHC soured on Mel.
Now all of Michigan's recruits will be heading North

All signs are pointing towards Pearson, how many people does everyone think Suzanne interviewed?

It seems like a good hire, I just hope she did her due diligence.

This hire will define Suzanne's tenure as AD. I'm sure she didn't take it lightly.

Unlike Yeo a half-dozen or so times.

unlikely it's training. KA 90's are old but they hold what is needed, it could be a charter, and if he was doing training it would be way cheaper to do it less than 400 nm form GFK.

Not training...weather mod.

So from multiple sources, KFAN wasn't completely wrong...Michigan Tech did throw big money at Dean Blais, and he said no...so MTU brought in Mel Pearson and he will be announced as Michigan Tech's 22nd Head Coach. It will be interesting to see who ends up as Mel's assistants and whether or not Ben Johnson decides to commit to Tech based this hire. Expect an announcement next week, probably Monday.

Blais was allegedly offered $300,000

I almost guarantee it was because they knew Blais wouldn't accept, and then MTU could say they tried getting the best. Blais is grooming Guentzel or Hastings to be the next coach at UNO, guaranteed. He's retiring after his contract is up.

I highly doubt that...It is a raise from his UNO salary and getting Mel Pearson is still a hell of a job.

Not knocking Mel. But from the get-go the rumor was that the UNO thing was Blais' last run, and he got to groom the next coach. That's all I'm saying. Blais wasn't and isn't going anywhere but the old folks' home when his contract is up.

I'm not going to say it wasn't a waste of time trying, its not like MTU is bragging about trying, I highly doubt MTU ever admits that Blais was offered anything. I'm sure "officially" Mel was the guy they wanted from the moment Russell resigned. Why would MTU even want to admit that they tried to get Dean and he said no even though they offered him a 20% raise?
