All you might have to drink for one or two months before a coach is introduced.

If this isn't done in the next 30 days...I'll "eat my hat" (I really don't know what to bet). The announcement will probably happen within a week of the end of the AHCA Conference.

The only reason for the Penn State "shoe to have to fall" is if MTU's administration let's it. The talk of having to start over, or wait three weeks, is beyond belief. If it's that disorganized maybe you should just bury it.

There is no correlation between the candidates at PSU and MTU. Totally different pool.

So you swung and missed with Mel ~ get over it and move on. The lists on the site are ripe with good candidates, but if one or two haven't been in Houghton by the time the coaches meet in Naples, they'll at be laughing at Amateur Hour in the UP. Once you start the process, you better be willing to see it through or it appears confused and unplanned. Precisely what no coaching candidates want to see from a prospective employer whose support they will need to right the MTU program.

I'm about 99% sure that Mel is completely out of the picture now....

Cue the Dumb & Dumber pic

I'm not sure I agree...Mel was the guy they wanted...they swung and missed...now they have to figure out what direction they want to go...nothing about this process is really known...maybe other candidates have been contacted, I'm not hearing anything but I didn't hear much about Mel until Friday of last week. It certainly is better for Tech to keep things quiet. Annoying to us but better for the process. Hopefully guys like Eades and Guentzel have been contacted and interviews have been scheduled, etc.

Nice vintage picture. May require a frame in a few weeks. If you can pry Gino from $15,000/month at SCSU, maybe they come as a package deal!

Does anyone think Newell Brown would be interested??? You figure if he was gonna get a NHL HC job he would have gotten it by now and maybe the Tech job would be a nice fit to ride out into retirement. Guess maybe it is just wishful thinking....

I'm pretty sure Tech isn't looking for a guy looking for a job to ride out inot retirement...

Re: Michigan Tech needs a new coach, what do you say Cary Eades?

Well Brown is 4 years younger than Pearson ... so I guess I was hoping he'd be at Tech for a while....

I am keeping my fingers crossed that coaches will or have been in prior to the Naples coaches meeting.

Rumors now swirling that Mike Hastings was in Houghton today.

Edit: They aren't just based on USCHO posts.

Well to respond to the dirty one.

Been a lot of places, but hiking is one of my passions and I'd put U.P. hiking up against anyplace. I like Zion NP or Arches as great places to hike, but really right near Houghton is wonderful rock climbing, mountain biking, and terrific hiking, and it's not a 6 hour drive, it's 10 minutes. there are so many hiking trails you could do a different one every week all summer for 10 years and not repeat.
The fishing is great, as you can go for the stream trout like brookies, or the big lake fish, not to mention the smelt. The hunting is great too, and the back packing and the camping are a lot of fun with good facilities.
If you are into boating Lake Superior or the lakes around Houghton are totally beautiful.
In the winter people drive 10 to 12 hours to snowmobile up there. Its not 40 below like it is daily in Grand Forks during the winter, and it's not 95 like it is often in Grand Forks in August.
Plus Isle Royale is really special as well.

I'm sure North Dakota is nice, but The Keweenaw is just much nicer if you like the out of doors. But you are right, it can be pretty dumpy in places if all you look at are the buildings.
