    OK yeah, I could see that. Gotta have more than five at least, right?

      The word is he's the next coach. Official statement to come likely Monday.

      During his 23 years at UofM.

      21 straight NCAA appearances.
      10 Final Fours.
      2 NCAA Championships.

      I would say Tech got it right this time.

          Ahhh...it's just Mel's bio. Thanks Flashy. Anyone have any credible sources that say Mel is coming to Tech or that Blais was made that $300,000 offer? If such an offer was indeed made to Blais, it sounds like enough to be able to say they made him a good offer, but not enough to entice him to leave Omaha, where his base salary was $250K is likely more than that with the extension he signed last year.

            We've had some good sources, we can't just name them.

                    What is a "thrown?" I really am hoping Tech gets someone who can bring their program back to national prominence. I'd love to see the Huskies do well, and was likely rooting for them long before you. It's a program with great history and a proud tradition. It would be great if that can be returned.

                      I hope they pick the right asst. Coach because if Mel bails when Red leaves he might be considered. But a great choice hopefully Mel can bring some wins for tech hockey.

                      Who is the assistant coaches being considered? Any coaches from the CCHA or WCHA? Or what about Rud with green bay?

                        I would be very surprised if Rud wasn't on MTU's short list. And he will likely be on many more.

                          A formality, I'm sure.

                            To try to offer you some brighter silver lining, Billy Powers has been an assistant down here for about 20 years now, too. One could call it a toss up between Mel and Billy, with Mel getting the edge. But if Mel takes this job, well...

                            Not that it means much, but could be a different version of reality if Mel becomes the new Tech head coach.

                              The certainty of this rumor makes me nervous that Bruce McLeod is going to be named coach.
                              Plus, Chuck Schwartz told us that Pearson is a pipe dream.
                              Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

                                It is scary thought that Mel might bolt. Hopefully, Mel will be signed for at least five years and tech will not have to worry about this?
