Yes or No, it is time to move foward and put the puzzle pieces together and play hockey.

It's not even noon yet. No one does a press conference until at least 3.
And I saw them Friday night at PR (I don't know who they were with, but it might have been Mel). If it was Mel, maybe he just came back up because the food was good.

I'm sitting in the lobby of the SDC right now and it seems pretty quiet. But I'm here for the long haul.

Was the '03 coach search this speculative? If this goes on for another week or two, my head might explode.

I haven't seen Dick Storm anywhere, so no. At least not right now.

Take it for what it's worth, but Bob Miller at The Wolverine, who I know is very well connected, says he's hearing Mel to Tech is a done deal.

Re: Mel Pearson-Michigan Tech's new Coach
It wasn't so much on the internets. This instant information age is weird. But there are a lot of yoopers who are still upset about Mel being turned away, I was just recalling a conversation I had this February after the Carnival loss where my friend was saying, "just think... we could have hired Mel Pearson". If this works out I expect a surge in season ticket sales.

I've been on a tennis court working all morning and just got an email from a very good source that the deal with MTU is off. No details yet.

I am sick that this may not happen. With no press conference annouced at this time makes me feel something has gone wrong.

Re: Mel Pearson-Michigan Tech's new Coach
I don't feel that is was, but I think the current lack of success puts more focus on this search and coaching change. Sertich was a retirement so they just needed to find someone to "continue the growth". This is a situation where a lot of people are displeased and thus the search is more critically viewed in my opinion. Not that the hiring of Jamie wasn't a big deal, but people were not threating to jump off bridges at that time based on who was hired or not hired.
Aside - I'm really suprised that we have not heard of Jamie either being a cantidate or hired for someone else's staff yet.

Re: Mel Pearson-Michigan Tech's new Coach
Here is another thought - You have to imagine that Tech wants to sign a coach for a minimum of a 5 year deal. If Red told Mel "I'm outta here in 3 years..." and Mel asked that as part of his contract he could resign at any time, knowing he was taking the Tech job only to gain experiance until Michigan is available, do you think MTU would turn Mel down under those circumstances.
If Mel thinks he wants to return to Michigan when that job opens, then I think it is in MTU's best interest not to hire him for our coach. I think you have to assume that whoever you hire will do a great job and based on that, you don't want someone with happy feet who wants to bolt when their initial contract is up (or sooner) for greener pastures. This is why Dean would have also been a questionable cantidate in my opinion as well. He no longer has 10-20 years left in front of him as a coach. The Reds and Jo-Pas of the world are the exception, not the rule.
