Red Berenson Retirement Watch
- Thread starter MGoBlueHockey
- Start date
Early? He's got 3 of 5 years behind him. And if UM really wants him, that buyout won't make anyone in Ann Arbor bat an eyelash. As for Tech. I wouldn't be surprised if UM were just as interested in Billy Muckalt.

Early being a relative term. I'd guess that if MTU could've gotten him for longer on an initial contract, they would've.

From what I know of Mel's deal, it seems to be pretty good for both sides and has Tech pretty well protected financially should he opt out early. Give MTU a ton of credit for the hire and for the agreement.
I can also say that if any talks were to arise between Mel & UM, it would certainly be all above board. Mel has as much integrity as any coach in the game.

No. This is where other B1G hockey fans express their gratitude the Maize and Blue are still stuck with Red.

Re: Red Berenson Retirement Watch
I wouldn't say "still stuck with Red" but yes it might be coming close to time. The man sneezes more hockey knowledge than everyone here has combined. Still, his age is cause for concern. When I was in school all of the players respected him an absolute ton and basically idolized him (granted, it wasn't that long ago that I was in school there). Now however kids have different attitudes and that "may" be affecting things? I couldn't tell you for sure as I do not personally know any of the current players.
Both Mel and Coach Berenson have contracts expiring at the same time (unless Mel extended his again) and that has always struck me as not so "coincidental". Does anyone know for sure? I also believe that Mel left originally to get some Head Coaching experience before Coach Berenson retired (Mel had always planned on coming "home" but they may have changed).
Tech isn't a destination....

So did Barry Melrose, but if my school hired BM I'd gouge out my own eyes with a rusty corkscrew.

I would dispute about half of this, but you can believe whatever you want.

Re: Red Berenson Retirement Watch
IMO, Mel Pearson is "the leader in the clubhouse" or the guy to beat to replace Red, when that time comes. He's served a long time as an assistant and now has a couple of seasons as the Head Coach at Tech.......
he's ready. Too bad Red didn't take the opportunity to go out on top and retire before signing his current contract....................missing the nationals two years in a row is a good "early indicater".

Does Michigan want a 58 year old head coach when the job changes hands? Wasn't Danton Cole the leader in the clubhouse at State?

It is very hard to make the top 16 year in and year out,the coaches age is not the problem.
