I tried, I failed, so I leave it to someone far more tech talented than myself to dig that nugget up.

Not sure about that, BoSox. Utah plays in the Mountain West.
I don't believe that anyone can win at Maine right now, given the roster. Even Belichick fell on his face last year, "genius" or whatever. You need to have at least some talent to work with, and Red left the cupboard bare.
Sadly, I expect that Maine will hire another also-ran, and continue to suck.
Maine Hockey: I want to believe
43-21-4 (.662) in games I attended over 4 years as a student
104-47-14 (.669) in that time
3x FROZEN FOUR
11-20-2 in games I've attended since. (2-2-1 under Red)

Anyone with second thoughts about the crap Timmy and the boosters cry about isnt the guy.

The search began March 28th with four finalists: Mike Adessa (future NCAA champ), Walsh (future 2x NCAA champ), David Conte (multiple NHL championships) and UNH's Dave O'Connor (recruiter for the UNH 1984-1988 teams).I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

Yeah, he sucked. In fairness I don't think Winkin handled relief pitchers all that well. Sure was cool to watch some of those great teams though. One of favorite memories was Billy Swift playing centerfield in a regional in Orono. I think it was Navy they were playing. Third base coach sent a runner on 2nd on a single to Swifty in center, Maine Catcher had ball in glove before runner was halfway down the 3rd baseline. Swifty threw a line drive right to the catcher.

I checked and you are right. Definitely a red flag. Hopefully there is nothing dodgy in Barr’s background. As we found out with what happened with Monty last time it doesn’t take very much. Maybe the fact Ralph has known him for a while helps.
Benny is a good guy who excelled as a player and now as an AC. He's an elite recruiter -- I hope he gets the gig in Orono.""Ralph is the Chuck Norris of this board. Ralph doesnt sleep he just waits." - fishcore12

He wouldn't be at UMass with Carvel if there was anything amiss with Barr....that guy runs a tight ship. As an RPI fan, I can tell you that Barr was one of two finalists for the RPI job that ultimately went to Dave Smith (Canisius). I had it told to me that Barr fully believed he would be offered the job. Word was that RPI did not want to hire another first time head coach after Appert - who was hired by Ken Ralph . I wouldn't read too much into ANY RPI admin decisions.....as they are not be understood often times.
