Anyone hearing anything on the assistant front?

All I can remember is DC saying he'd take no more than a week. So I'm expecting that PDQ .


Hey it's nice to use new acronymics for the HC (imho )

I forgot about assistant coaches. Hopefully Cole did not also forget.

I do sort of hope he cleans house. Newton is a fine Spartan but this program needs a reboot. Maybe they can get him some sort of Director of Operations type job, or something.

According to a tweet last night from Fred Heumann, niether Newton nor Miller will be kept on.

MSU looks like the host school for the 2020 Frozen Four at Little Ceasar's. The arena, that is.

$5 says Chris Luongo comes home, too.

I'm not taking that bet. That's a savvy choice.

And Mel was in East Lansing yesterday.

What, if true, does that have to do with anything?

Chris is a solid recruiter, a really good guy, and knows his stuff.

Two weeks tomorrow and no news yet on assistants. Maybe it's too much to follow his words literally when he said it in a general sense, but after the way the last regime followed timelines I'd like the new one to be in the ballpark.

Not everything happens on fans desires timelines. Would you prefer he rushed the situation and made a less than stellar choice so your times is mer? It's possible there is a USHL assistant involved that's still in playoff mode.

I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't Luongo and an up-and-coming USHL/NAHL guy.

Cole mentioned he wants an assistant that primarily focuses on recruiting and one that spends most of his time coaching. Did Luongo fill one of these roles at UAH?

He held both roles, each in different seasons. John McCabe did more of the recruiting for us, but Lou went out and got a lot of guys. Then he obviously was HC here, a situation that ... well, Lou got screwed really hard.
