If Grant Potulny can be a second assistant for the Gophers, there's no reason Cam Ellsworth can't be a second assistant for Tech. He saved a man's life!

Good choice for second.

Ron Fogarty will not be an assistant coach at Michigan Tech at any point in the near future.

Who is on your list?

Re: Michigan Tech Coach Search, Part II: Only We Would Need a Second Thread

I could see Fogarty being interested, as well as Aiken. There's no chance that it'll be Rud. He was already a WCHA assistant, and left for the Green Bay job. Unlikely that Powers will come along and Mel can certainly do better than Renfrew.

Fogarty or Coghlin? Yeah, not going to happen.

Really, why do you say that!!?!?!?!?!

edit: sorry, that was supposed to be sarcasm. As in, I agree with you.

But, LSSU has a smaller and less affluent donor/alumni base.

And they are not winning many games.

But they also have students that were alive the last time they won it all.

I love this quote :

“Mel's staying with us,” said Michigan coach Red Berenson, who has been Pearson's boss the last 23 years."

He knows LSSU is in almost similar situation as tech. Both have to win.

Interesting, he's a LSSU donor.

MTU hires Pearson at 250k plus.........Hockey Alums kick into coaching endowment to make it happen (rumor has it at about 2 million dollars pledged from hockey Alums).

Major step by the Huskies......Mel will need to win soon, but first recruit his rear off.
Congrats to Pearson and MTU for stepping UP.

Interesting, he's a LSSU donor.

Re: Michigan Tech Coach Search, Part II: Only We Would Need a Second Thread

that's what I said. But the story didn't make clear why Powers was speaking for Mel.

Re: Michigan Tech Coach Search, Part II: Only We Would Need a Second Thread

Good questions Ryan but the biggest one to me is who is he going to get to be his assistants (will Damon stay)?
The recruit question is an interesting one as well...Ben Johnson is likely to commit to Michigan Tech now but will anyone actually on the Michigan's long list actually follow Mel up to Tech?
