Given what people have said here with Keefe and Grillo still being in the hunt and their connections to St. Louis feels like maybe he has a sway over the committee? I definitely prefer Keefe because he's been in college coaching and has been through a complete rebuild of a team that outside like one year where that team with Brad Theissen as goalie did really well they completely stunk and if it's to be believed the level of impact Keefe has had along with Madigan to help them build to 3 NCAAs and 3 Beanpots after being completely irrelveant at the start of the 2010s I want some of that. If it's Grillo and Perrin I really hope they're bringing in someone in the other spot who could be the Jerry Keefe role for that coaching staff to bring UVM back because the nostalgia will wear off if the wins don't start coming.
Also for Martin's kid if he wants to come that's great but I also would understand the pressure if he didn't want to be here either. I definitely got the sense too that St. Louis had a frosty relationship with Sneddon and even if it was his son's choice to go where he wanted to go to school I do think Marty knew Sneddon toward the end really wasn't going to be the best fit from a developmental sense. I read an article on the Arizona State kid who just signed with the Sharks who initially committed to UVM and decided against it and had a great career down there. Seems that was a pattern toward the end and whether or not it was some cutthroat recruiting the fact that lots of talented kids jumped ship after the results got bad says a lot. The next coach really needs to do a lot to repair some bridges that I think might have been burned or just to get UVM back in the conversation with new blood.
