This was mentioned in the Transfer Portal thread so just putting it here for completeness: Shelley Looney is out as head coach at Lindenwood after 4 years. I'm not aware of any other head coach openings besides BU and Lindenwood.

What’s the scuttlebutt out there surrounding this? Any idea who could/would be a good fit? I imagine it’s a highly coveted position for any one in the game! Intrigued to hear people’s thoughts on this one!!

So is Matthews the favorite to succeed Durocher? She has over a decade of head coaching experience under her belt at St. Anselm. Could we see the return of Keady-Norton?

Been the same four coaches in Boston for a long time, with 18 for Durocher, 14 for Crowley, 13 for Flint, and Stone ... well, maybe too long.

I suspect his police pension may have played a role in his decision to move on (in addition to the desire to lead as Lindsay called it). In NY public employee retirees are only allowed to make X amount of money working for any other public agency after claiming their pension. The University of MN would be a state employer and there's a strong chance that his continuing to work there would affect his ability to collect his pension. Though if that were the impetus I would think he would have found something else sooner...Either way, he's going to have a pretty good setup: coaching a perpetually successful team with dual income in a fairly cheap place to live...

I suspect the desire to lead plays a role as well whether it’s about getting to d1 or not. Appreciate the context Scott... a pension might make it make more sense from a financial perspective, not that I know how a d3 head coach salary compares to D1 assistant.Last edited by Lindsay; 09-03-2022, 07:35 AM.

He went from the second assistant at a D1 to a head coach at D3, the same kind of move Mollie Fitzpatrick did when she went to Plymouth State this offseason. Bobrowski has a pension from his career with the St. Paul Police Dept (it appears he left the force in '21) so if the worst does happen to Elmira and he's still there he would still have one income stream. All three of his predecessors at Elmira went on to D1 coaching gigs so it's not exactly a dead end. Elmira can make the NCAA tourney seemingly on autopilot so his work with Hamline and Elmira alone will open pretty much any door in DIII later even if he never makes it back to D1.

Wow, I guess I'm really surprised by this because this seems like a huge step down, going from D1 at the U to a D3 school that is apparently in big financial trouble. Going from the WCHA in your home town practically, to a small town in NY and a weak conference where only Norwich is a challenge just seems like a bad decision. Would he make similar money of less? I would think less. Maybe he's using this opportunity as a stepping stone to a D1 head coaching job down the road. In that case I guess I understand why he would make this type of sacrifice.
