Re: RPI 2010 Off-Season Thread II -- We Can Rebuild Them. We Have the Technology!
Agreed. I'm sure if Gwoz left Denver, SA has written into contract that he could talk to Denver. I'm sure his alma mater (Ferris State) is also on the list, Miami, etc. Bottom line, although I'm a Seth guy he has to win more than he has. Granted Fridge left the cupboard bare for SA (bulk of losing), he would need to build resume more than present. ECAC title, a couple of at large bids, etc to land one of those jobs IMO. We need to remember that RPI is one of only 20 or so schools that spend 1 million dollars on hockey program, so this is a top job. Again, great news. I think we have Seth for awhile. Probably almost as long as Wicked Slappahs has been argumentative on these threads. And yes WS, you are right, Knowlton was the guy who put it together, not Shirley. A long way from the years when Ducatte was sabotaging Adessa.
It all depends what was woven into the contract. If Seth asked that "dream job" schools X & Y be included in the contract language, then he could conceivably break the contract to leave for a post at those schools, should an offer come his way.
Generally speaking, I believe schools need permission to talk to coaches who are under contract....but others may well have better understanding of this.
