Wisconsin Hockey 22-23 Empty Dreams & Empty Seats

[WiscTJK]

in order... Miller, Blasi, Dumais. Knott

Steve Miller? not for head coach. No on Blasi (not sure what happened at Miami but they were bad his last 3-4 years). Dumais is out east so that's a tough one for a midwest team recruiting wise. Todd Knott is interesting. Considered one of the better recruiters around and been super successful with Mankato and Hastings. He's in his 40's or so. Is he head coach material?

Coached the Sioux City Musketeers when he was very young. He was in over his head. But several years have passed since then, and Coach Hastings has made him his Associate Head Coach and has tremendous faith in him. He's kinda caught in the middle right now. We pay him well enough that he's not going to take an Atlantic Hockey-type job, but his lack of head coaching experience keeps him out of the big name discussions. You might hire him as an Associate Head Coach, give him a pay bump, and it could work out for both sides.

From a hockey fan over at B5Q:

”. I hope the first call is to Todd Knott who would be awesome, call two to Travis Macmillion, the next call to Steve Miller.

It's highly unlikely Miller would be interested. He's been approached for many years and always turned down head coaching jobs.
His daughter told me several years ago her dad has no interest in being a head coach. He doesn't want the full weight of the responsibilities that goes with it and wants the flexibility being an assistant so he can continue to help with international competition.
