I'll bet he is. We are not.

I'll bet he is. We are not.

You'd bet a Stanley Cup Winning Coach who's known throughout the U.S. and Canada (likely the entire hockey world) is interested in coaching at MTU? And you're not interested? Didn't know you were on the search committee.

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

He hasn't. That's why I said waiting for a big time opening is risky; many qualified coaches looking for a job; and that's why I said (other), because most other big time schools are going to hire someone who's proven. Not sure what MSU was thinking.

Maybe Cole now becomes a candidate. My personal choice would still be Eades; probably because I have a preference to NO DAK. It would be interesting to see Eades list of successful recruits.

This has to rank among the best incoming recruiting classes of all time if not the best.

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

As long as the hockey program is profitable. Profitability is more important than winning,.

I think more important than being profitable and winning is being competative.

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

Tell me how Anastos has proven anything?

Anastos hasnt proven anything this hiring proves that MSU is trying to protect him from the fall out of the CCHA in the next two seasons. I am sure the Big Ten wants him to be Commish in a few years. Somebody is under contract so Tom is there for the short run just like Sertich was at tech.

This maybe a long shot but Danton Cole a MSU alum worked with Finlandia head coach at UAH a couple of seasons ago.

May they reunite at tech. And Pat Mikesch gets the Finlandia job.

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

If you're looking to raid assistants, how about Brent Brekke from Miami? Seems like he'd be in line for a head coaching job soon. I mean, come on, he's helped build that Miami DYNASTY, and before that he was an assistant on the Cornell team that made the Frozen Four in 2003.

Then again, after Russell, you guys might be tired of former Cornell assistants

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

As long as the hockey program is profitable, it will remain. Profitability is more important than winning, however, the two are not mutually exclusive. If the program was deep in the red like MSU and Notre Dame, it would be doomed...

Thats why no one seems to care about tech hockey locally , season ticket holders arent renewing and community people saying tech should go to division three.

I wouldn't say they don't care. They just don't want to pay for tickets if the team isn't competitive. Winning solves most of these issues. Ticket sales, recruiting, etc.

It cant be too hard to recruit for NO DAK. Great tradition, rink and winning games.

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

Smart move by SCSU. Tech isn't that smart. As you said they should've hired Blais when he was available. Eades is also a Gasparini protege.

This statement assumes that Blais would have said yes if we asked. It also assumes we didn't ask. I've said it before. You can't just dictate who your next coach is or make blanket statements about who should have been hired. You have to put your best foot forward and then see who's interested. You could argue we haven't put competitive packages out there, but at the same time the salary we paid Russell isn't necessarily the top salary that would have been paid to others. You see who is interested and then you pay the person you pick (among the interested parties) what they are worth and no more. Just because we might have paid Barry Melrose $500K a year, that doesn't become the salary for any other hire. This isn't the New York Knicks who think that if you pay an average player superstar salary, he becomes a superstar. Sorry, I couldn't think of a good NHL example of that approach.

I have seen fans that wont even go to the game even for free tickets. What kind of product are you selling?
