Re: Mel Pearson-Michigan Tech's new Coach

His wife could be a bigger factor than some people think too. If she doesn't want to move north, and they aren't willing to spend more time apart... *shrug*

One of a few reasons he left in the first place is my understanding.

I think he as the top Assistant Candidate from Tech's perspective (I think he's #2 behind Eades), is worth an offer of $175k, if they have the money and $$$ were the hang up I could see Suzanne pushing it to $200k but who knows.

I think you wealthy alumni should be calling in your pledges right now.

I have far less a clue than you. I just remembered someone posting about the 150-175 range. baseless speculation - it's what we do.

winner!

Somebody leaked that Blais was offered $300K. True or not, how did that make Mel feel when he was asked to sign his name to $150K?

Hell, they'd be willing to rename Lake Linden after him.

Well unfortunately information in advance gets people at home all riled up. Fade, you, jsr, and flashy need to keep your mouths shut next time please. I think the people in a2 talked him out of it. this is really unfortunate.

You're gonna blame us for the crap we spew on a message board?

All Pearson needs to know is if he brings glory back to Tech, they'll name a street after him.

And Michigan can't even name their hockey rink after a hockey coach

Re: Mel Pearson-Michigan Tech's new Coach

Been a long time since there were any Jeffers Jets in program!

Did you just link to another message board, in which the most recent post links to this thread?

BTW, I give ZERO credibility to a message board poster who within a couple posts of saying the Tech-Pearson deal is off, mentions that Mike Babcock will be Red's successor.
