Coaching Carousel

Re: Coaching Carousel

St. Mary's University in Winona, MN is looking for a new head coach. Terry Mannor steps down after a long career as a student, then a coach there.
 
Red Berenson resigned from coaching at Michigan yesterday. I wonder if that creates some optimism that women's hockey might now have a chance of getting started at some D1 schools in that state in the near future. Many believe he was dead against women's hockey at Michigan but now he's no longer in a position to stand in the way.

I doubt it, they are pouring money into FB and BB and now will be to upgrade Hockey. MSU is in a world of hurt with several things and Munn needs a big upgrade. i don't see another school with possible funding to do it. Further thoughts?

I don't doubt that Berenson was against women's hockey at Michigan, but his role in preventing a women's team from forming is overstated. Michigan looked seriously at adding a team in 2011, but decided that they could add both men's and women's lacrosse for less money than adding just women's hockey. I wouldn't expect that there will be another serious look at it any time soon.

The way hiring requirements are, especially at public universities, it could be they are required to do a national search before formally naming him the head coach.

I hope that's the case. I'd like to see at least one full season out of Dean Jackson as head coach, instead of him having to just play cleanup with Brandwene's system like he did for the end of 2016-17. In any case, I hope Penn State learned something from having used the good ol' boy network to find a coach the first time, and does it right this time.

Yes I'm almost 100% sure you are right about that. This is really a formality of paperwork to satisfy all necessary parties in order to officially hire Dean as the new head coach. Very interesting path for him to have been put on there but I'm sure he isn't complaining.

Look at Jackson's replacement at Elmira and Tyng at Colby. Both rode the whole season on interim tags before being confirmed recently as permanent. Colby even went as far as posting the job to the AHCA job board a few weeks ago before announcing Tyng would remain as the permanent HC.


As for Jackson, I imagine he's having the time of his life, especially getting to play with a D1 budget and facilities...

....um, and salary too! No question that he's a lucky guy.
 
Re: Coaching Carousel

I don't know anything about ND's Brian Idalski and his coaching style, but I think Penn State is happy to have Dean Jackson's style behind the bench, and from the chatter at the games the players have really responded to Jackson, too. Penn State is probably just happy to officially have Brandwene's off-ice issues fade away with him now. I guess Penn State will run the required "search for a coach" process and then sign Jackson to a contract at the end of it all.

A pretty good news week for Penn State women's hockey - hosting the 2022 Frozen Four at Pegula Ice Arena, and a fresh start with a new head coach next season.

But why wouldnt a school with top 5 resources in all of college athletics not do a real search. top 5 pay, top 5 budget, easy auto bis every year assuming the CHA keeps 6 teams. The place ooooozes potential. Why settle for a d3 coach when you could easily steal a proven d1 coach? if he ends up the best option, hire him but in the meantime try to steal a great coach.

Jackson has a national championship to his credit and he's very likeable. Idalski is not as likeable of a person or coach and he's never really won anything. Winning is winning no matter if it's at the D1 or D3 level. Jackson wins this head to head contest hands down.

Wasn't comparing those two head to head at all.... I was thinking more why can't a school like Penn State go out and get a current D1 HC/Assoc/Asst that wins? There's a lot of names that come to mind and women's hockey isnt exactly a springboard to the nhl so if these coaches want whats best for their families, why not take the pay day? Big ten schools are going to have money they need to spend on female sports with the new tv deal. Title nine works great in that way!
