Well, we lost one the last time.
Or maybe whoever the new coach is will bring in someone who he already recruited for his old school.

No but considering he gets paid for 3 more years (or is it four?) I don't think you need to feel too bad.
Now... let the speculation begin... Alum? D1 assistant? D3 head that looks promising? I for one would like to see someone with ties to the Northeast. It's absurd that Troy is 30 minutes from Mass and yet we can't seem to get any recruits from New England. We should average 1 recruit a season from one of CT, RI or MA in my opinion.
Anything is possible but I wouldn't expect that.
We've engaged Parker Executive Search to find a coach? ??? How about picking a few alums... maybe even Fridge and letting them figure it out. You can't tell me that there is some type of consulting service that actually knows something about coaching hockey!
Here's a D3 suggestion: Gary Heenan (Utica College). He put that program on the map, went to an academically challenging school, and is from NY. We need someone that can rebuild the program and also build community interest. That is exactly what Heenan did there.
Ben Barr?

USCHO story says "Appert guided the Engineers to a 10-18-8 record in 2016-17."
I thought we finished 8-28-1 this season (I'd gladly take the 2 extra wins, 10 fewer losses and 7 additional ties, but it probably wouldn't have saved Appert's job).
Twitter is alive with this as well.![]()
Like I said... they all went to college in Georgia and none of them have a background in hockey from what I can see. The sports recruiter, who appears to be the son of the founder, specifically mentions football, basketball and baseball. And prior to doing this he worked for Nissan.https://www.parkersearch.com/our-clients click on Sports
Here's my list of possible candidates although the search should start and end with Ben Barr:

RPI must have some generous donors. Didn't Appert have a contract through the 20-21 season?
I can't see Oates being interested.
