This ain't a complicated calculus; the faster and more skilled team tends to win every night out, unless their coach installs a "system" that bites it in the a**. Walsh knew this.
Having said that, coaching goalies helps, and I'm glad that Alfie was invited back. I have to wonder if he still talks to Grant.

That's a great article. I'm frankly impressed with how the author portrays your AD (Ralph).

I'm very impressed with Ralph. Seems like a very sharp guy to me just from listening to him once in an interview. He obviously has what it take to be successful.$90(more) for a drink holding ledge and a Maine blanket, but the views still great.
Just win.....

Good question. Maybe he finds a success in rebuilding, which may be more satisfying then maintaining? Same with Barr, which one looks better on a resume down the road? Or, Ralph just wants to ride into the sunset on a horse named Mediocrity….doubtful.Originally posted by BobbyBrady

Back in Grad school one of my classmates went to Maine for undergrad and so did her BF that actually came with her to Ann Arbor. I was hanging out with him at a function one night and we started talking college hockey. He mentioned that he went to Maine and that Alfond was awesome. He added that Yost was a bucket list thing for him, so I took him to a game over Thanksgiving break. Unfortunately he was unimpressed, probably because there weren't many students there (it was Thanksgiving break). He spoke glowingly about Alfond, my question for everyone here is how is it? This was back in 2003 though so I'm sure things have changed. Was he just blowing smoke up my a** or was Alfond the real deal back then?

This. And maybe he knew that the Alfond Foundation was close to writing a check as well?
His hockey connections and experience probably completed the deal.
For Ralph, why not take the job, great opportunity with a big project to work on, and obviously a hockey program to rebuild. Good stuff.
