Kevin has certainly been a good soldier ...but its anyone's guess what Marty plans for the search.Originally posted by Ralph Baer View Post
One wild card I'd throw out is BU's Drew Marrachello who folks may not know, married and raised his kids locally. He was AD at HVCC before joining BU and he coached football at RPI years ago. Obviously it's not as glamorous a job as BU, but If he had any interest in getting back home at this stage of his career, then Marty needs to give him a call !
That's my shoot from the hip candidate !! HA HA

Appert leading his Amerks into the AHL Eastern Conference finals tonight vs. Hershey. Great to see him having another deep run with the squad. Rochester adds 1st round pick Matt Savoie to the lineup following his WHL season.

Zach Metsa from QPac is also up with the Amerks for the playoffs after signing.Originally posted by Wicked Slappaahs View PostComment

Interesting possibility, but his bio says he's a native of Arlington, MA (less than 10 miles from BU) so that job may have been his chance to return home. My guess is that Dr. Schmidt is going to be looking for someone that knows how to raise funds because it's definitely time either for a new arena or another major renovation of HFH (probably more like the '82 renovation than the less ambitious one during the ECAV era).Originally posted by Wicked Slappaahs View Post

In either case best wishes to Dr. McElroy in retirement. This played out pretty much as I expected. I figured they'd cut a deal that he'd stay on for a year after Shirley's departure by which time the new guy would have figured out what he wanted to do with athletics. Let's hope it's a good plan.Comment

Its a total wild--- guess on my part. But if RPI is serious about restoring the hockey program, he'd be my first call. He's done a ton at BU including overseeing the hiring of guys named Quinn and Pandalfo, helping create Frozen Fenway, etc. etc. RPI could afford him -- if the desire was there to elevate BOTH ice hockey programs. Lest we forget, the women's team has been scraping bottom in the ECAC the last few seasons, despite having some VERY good talented ladies on the squad. They need new blood at the helm I'm afraid.Originally posted by rpi82 View Post
This is a guy who knows what it takes to engage alumni, fans and corporate sponsors...gotta at least pick up the phone and the question !""Ralph is the Chuck Norris of this board. Ralph doesnt sleep he just waits." - fishcore12Comment

Slappaah, you and your family have been RPI fans for a long time. What it takes to win? Most importantly, commitment from the top and resources for the student athletes, which RPI is 0 for 2.Originally posted by Wicked Slappaahs View Post
Heck, look at the floor at Houston Field House for example. However, I deeply admire a loyal fan that continues to dream.I've been lost since 1989. I got a breakaway on a frozen river and have been skating ever since.Comment

I think both of those are coming in time based on things Marty has said. I hope they are at least!Originally posted by sk8tronthepond View PostComment

Cannot disagree with any of this. I can only draw glimmer of hope from folks I know who have interacted with the new Prez ---- and each have separately related that he "gets it".... I actually had a conversation just the other day with some one who's a major backer of the school and the hockey team.Originally posted by sk8tronthepond View Post
Of course only time will tell. This isn't rocket science we're talking about -- but you said it, it's only be possible with a commitment from the top and resources to back it up.
That's really why the next AD hire will be pivotal in determining which path both the men's and women's programs take. This person will be charged with leading the future vision. I've long ago given up on expectations...but I can dream ! HA HA""Ralph is the Chuck Norris of this board. Ralph doesnt sleep he just waits." - fishcore12Comment

FWIW, he must have been an AC at RPI. See https://sports-chronicles.com/rpif/pages/head_coaches.Originally posted by Wicked Slappaahs View Post

I have a hard time believing a successful D-I Athletic Director would want to go to a D-III school. One who has baggage -- yes.Comment
