I was about to post that here myself, thanks Ralph! Everyone McMahon named was already on our list, so it felt good that we're in the right ballpark. I like Greg Moore as a secondary option, surprised that no one else has brought him up. Another one I found was Chris Lazary at Saginaw, would be a homerun if they somehow landed him. Tapp and Chris Brooks also solid secondary options as top ECAC assistants

So, are you officially back to posting here?
 
BTW, Reading these lists and discussions about what it would take to get an up and coming HC, hot assistant or junior coach to lead the program in Troy, I'm reminded of the importance of staff. The required commitment from the administration is not just in facilities and head coach salaries, but in the budget for staff. I don't know what our assistants make, but my guess is we aren't very high on the salary totem pole. I believe Weber was here because of family. Lange is an alum. Zirnis was rescued from the wilderness. Not to demean those guys because I really don't know the ins and outs of their performance (and I really do like being able to recruit Latvians), but if we are going to return to the upper reaches of the ECAC we'll need a skilled and aggressive staff both teaching and recruiting to complement the skills of our new head coach.

Riley quote from article :

"We were on a ventilator when he came here," Army coach Brian Riley said about Lang's tenure as an assistant in West Point. "The first year he got us three players out of the USHL. We had never gotten anybody out of the USHL. He's a great recruiter, a brilliant hockey mind. And he's a relationship-type guy."

As you know WS, he also set up a showcase for players hitting the portal this year. If they can't get Kirk ( which I doubt) he is a good option.

I am not positive ;) what you meant by the double negative "If they can't get Kirk ( which I doubt)". Could you explain?

I remember McMahon from literally decades ago, when he was the only one pushing Merrimack from the wilderness of North Andover. He knows a lot of people and he's credible. But that list and comments look an awful lot like they were sourced from here.
