Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

One of the 30+ you originally listed?

We just published. It's Jason Herter, the other UMD Assistant coach. I said it wasn't that surprising because we chose not to profile both assistants at any one school. Herter does appear more likely to leave UMD than Larson bc he isn't an alum there...

I didn't answer the question about him being on the 30+ person list because we added him to the list yesterday.

Many thanks for the insightful and well written analyses of the candidates. The suspense is good for all of us. It's been very helpful in getting past our previous coach's departure. Now we just have to wait for the white chimney smoke...

Rolston is doing his due diligence. The job is his if he wants it. 300k starting point
 
Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

I don't know why, but the one person I most want involved with the team whether as HC or an assistant is Cam Ellsworth, just seems like the kind of guy you want around your program and I have tons of respect for him and what he went through at Tech as a player.

I think many of us can agree with that. Depending on what happens, I would have to think he'd be a front runner next time if he doesn't get this job. I also think depending on who gets hired that there is a decent chance that he's on the staff.

Hmmm...interviewees in no particular order:


1 Ron Rolston
2 Bill Muckalt
3 Gary Shuchuk
4 Joe Shawhan
5 Pat Mikesch
6 Jason Herter
7
8

Any ideas or confirmations on the other two.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

I'll concur that Herter is not quite what we were all hoping would be the "OMG, he's the one!" candidate. :p However, I like seeing outside candidates that aren't quite so tied to other programs (The F'in Hawks notwithstanding)

True, it almost feels like NMU got more applicants than we did, I think Potulny outshines everyone but Rolston and Muckalt on that list.

I'm sure there's far more applicants. The eight slots are those who get interviews.

you might be underwhelmed but I think all of them are at least close or past Potulny as a coach. Potulny might be a bigger name but his resume isn't any stronger than any of them. Potulny had never been a HC. Not to mention it makes sense that 5+ of them would have ties to MTU that help them get this far...

To be very honest I really like our present assistants. I know there is a lot that others might bring to the table, but I like our guys.

True, none of them are bad candidates, but not big names other than Rolston and Muckalt at this point.
