Decent counter-offer. Not seeing it as safety, though, since the same was done by Leaman.

Conceivably that is correct, but if he still leaves, he was lying through his teeth:

“I am thrilled to be at RPI, where we continue to build our program the right way,” Appert said. “I am humbled by the support and belief that Dr. Jackson, Dr. Sams and Jim Knowlton, as well as the alumni and fans, have shown. I am proud of our young men and look forward to leading them in pursuit of championships at RPI."

I prefer to believe that he means it.

I prefer to do so, too. He is a great guy, and I would be absolutely thrilled to see him continue here. As much as Fridge was entertaining (at least from 33), Appert's style has brought a renewed excitement to RPI hockey, and makes me happy to support it.

"I'm excited as heck," Appert said about stay with the Engineers. "I appreciate the support (the school has) shown me through my career, in hard times in the early years and now as we've been contending."

RPI, coming off a second-place finish in the ECAC, is returning a team that should be able to contend for a title. That, plus the excitement surrounding the league's impending national champion team, makes staying with RPI attractive.

"It shows you can win anywhere," Appert said. "I believe that, I believed it when I got here. But now we have two teams playing for a national championship, and we finished in second place in that league. The way college hockey has shifted, you see our league's commitment to playing for championships."

I hope that the administration at the Tute takes this opportunity to make an offer to Our Great Coach to try and keep him here. Whether its more years and some more $$$$, I think showing OGC a further committment is approppriate.

I want to thank Dr. Jackson for taking my advice...and yes, I'm right again.

I would like to thank AspyDad for his tireless effort in keeping Our Great Coach in Troy. Also thanks to Dr.D and Ralph Baer for the extra donation they gave to the hockey program. :)

I probably covered an hour of his salary. ;)


Edit: Oops, you said "extra". :D
