(I don't think Christian and Metro had meet and greet sessions with faculty and staff since they were already known by the locals.)
My gut feeling is that they likely will go with someone from outside, which would rule out Christian and Metro. Then it probably depends upon which of the other three guys sold themselves the best during interviews and meet and greet. All three of those guys have pretty good qualifications. Since I don't have the benefit of knowing that (sales job) for sure, my guess is that Fogarty or perhaps even Whitten has the best shot at the job. Barr might be too much of an unknown quantity unless he was really convincing in his interview.
All I've heard is that the new coach will make more than Roque did. I didn't hear how much more, or anything about assistants.So Bill, since you seem to be in the know, will the Lakers have 2 FULL TIME assistants for the new coach? And a paid video guy?
I would agree, if the Lakers are looking at a 180 turn around the whole staff should be new.
Fogarty would my choice out of the finalist that are known at this time.
As far as so many hockey players not going to the athletic banquet is not that big of a deal to me. I am curious though as to which two were the ones that attended it?

I still think ignoring Shawhan will end up being a Borek moment . Go with a guy who never should have been made head coach and ignore others that should .
That's a tough question since we don't have the benefit of hearing what these guys said in their interviews or the meet and greet sessions with faculty/staff. So my answer is going to be geared more towards what I think might happen rather than who I think they should go with.

So that is what I think. Others might have differing opinions. If there are more interviews, then I would have to reassess. And I have no idea of what Kris Dunbar and Tony McLain are thinking about these candidates, so their thinking may or may not be in line with my thinking.
sm2pk i think you are being a little unfair, Shawhan may very well have been a good choice and been very successful but that doesn't mean that some of the other candidates wouldn't be successful also.

I think we'll have a decision from Dunbar by Friday.
Just want to point out that only seniors and award winners are invited to the banquet. Are people seriously concerned about the athletic banquet? 2 seniors attended and the freshman who won an award attended. Multiple other seniors are not on campus due to professional contracts.
Also, there were many athletes that have class and were unable to attend. I don't think a few of the seniors not attending is in anyway a "protest".
Move on
I think at this stage where the program is ,head coaching with success is what the Lakers need to be interviewing as well.
