From the looks of Seans salary list, Maine needs to get north if 500k.
THanks Sean!

Im actually ok with getting someone who can turn it around and leave if they must for more cash. Once turned around cash flows change and all sorts of options are in play.

In looking at Seans salary list, Leahman makes almost a mil, seriously, is it fiscally responsible to pay that much for a D1 hockey coach? Can a school recoup that cost in revenue from a successful program? Or are there other not so direct benefits for a school that they could realize with a top tier hockey program?

FYI Nate Leaman is not making $1 million per season base pay, by base pay what he is getting paid before perks kick in.
 
Now on a different note Colorado College has made announcement that they have filled their Head Coaching job with a News Conference on Monday to bring in Kris Mayotte a assistant at Michigan the last 2 years and previous was at Providence under Nate Leaman for 5 years and with St.Lawrence for 2 years when Greg Carvel now with UMass was their Head Coach. With that all said CC didn't make big waves during the Frozen 4, they went on thou with Business at hand and MOVING FORWARD with the program...while Maine...can you hear the crickets??? Is there a PLAN...the days of Silence is Golden are over{IMO}...time for Ralph to makes his moves, either keep Gendron for another roller coaster year or move on and get this Mess of a Program going in a positive direction. Lame Duck status, wait wait wait...next year, next year....time to be a AD with a plan, get this ball rolling as everyone is passing them by each day they do nothing....sad hole we are in.

Michigan Tech is an excellent example of what happens when a successfully coach turns around a program and then leaves. After John MacInnes stepped down MTU had only three winning seasons (one the first season after) in thirty years before they hired Mel Pearson. In six short seasons he turned that program around and it was looking very good when he then left for Michigan. In the four seasons since Joe Shawnan has had three winning seasons, but the program has had to tighten its belt (total expenses have decreased for two of the three seasons I have financials for and were flat of the other) and overall attendance dropped from the last three seasons under Pearson. So far Tech is doing much better than the thirty years before Pearson, but they have fallen back some from the last three seasons under Pearson and I think they could go either way.

Very sad news. Sorry to hear this and my thoughts are passed along to the family and the black bear family.
Some very heart felt words came in from the hockey world and community on this loss, Red was a real pillar in the hockey family. RIP Red.
