D1 Coaching Changes

Out of the available candidates, he probably has the potential for the highest immediate return on investment. It will be interesting to see what sort of physicality he will allow/encourage against opposing teams.

"Fighting Huskies" does have kind of a nice ring to it...

Yes, it was a no brainer from this perspective. The Sue were a team to be reckoned with when he was there. I wonder if his buddy Elander joins him. The WCHA just got a lot harder folks. His first 4 games.....at OSU, WI at home. Welcome back LOL.
 
I agree the WCHA did just get more interesting. Once again, I give credit to Flowers for getting the streaming the sorted out. While NEWHA made a coaching change the other day, their games aren’t easily viewed so does it mean anything to an out of market fan? Probably not.

About a year ago I asked why folks thought the bottom WCHA teams were always at the bottom, when men’s teams at those schools were good. Coaching was not the reason suggested for a weak St Cloud team, so it will be interesting to see what Idalski can do.

Anyone heard anything about who the new Syracuse coach will be. Looked at a few sites where the listing was posted and those now say the listing is no longer active. Either they have their coach or they are not accepting anymore applications??

interesting. You are probably aware, but assoc head coach Brendan Knight was named interim head coach at time of Flanagan’s retiring, and also got a pretty good endorsement from Flanagan when Flanagan retired. I don’t know anything but had assumed Knight will eventually be named head coach.

Thanks for that info. I was not aware of that.

Congrats to her. A well deserved chance.

Very well deserved. I think they made a great choice but I can't deny being surprised they passed over their own associate head coach who was publicly endorsed by their inaugural and long time head coach.

Anyone know if Knight will be sticking around after this snub, or does he go (either of his own volition or Smith bringing in her own people)?
 
Lindsay said:
Yes congrats to Smith and well deserved like you say. VicB did you have an inkling about this?

I had no idea that she would get the job but after 8 years as an assistant to Matt D. there was some talk between some CCT fans as to why she had not gotten her own program. Now the question is who do they bring in to replace her? I would love to see Shannon D back behind the bench but I doubt that will happen.

I see. Very astute of the CCT fans. So there are now two highly successful programs in need of an assistant coach or 2, Clarkson and OSU.

As Scott indicated it will be interesting to see where Brendon Knight moves, if at all. The same is true of the assistant and assoc head coach at SCSU.
