SCSU Head Coach Bob Motzko leaving to take Minnesota job

Re: SCSU Head Coach Bob Motzko leaving to take Minnesota job

Minnesota makes it official. Bob Motzko is the Head Coach of the state’s most hated team. :)
 
Re: SCSU Head Coach Bob Motzko leaving to take Minnesota job

I think this is a temp fix to bridge gap for recruiting and the real story is who in on staff as that will tell you the longer term plans at U.

Then you are an idiot. You think Motzko leaves his alma mater for a 3-4 year stint at the U of M? Absurd.

Depends on how long he wants to coach. Don is 59 and had been thinking of being done for a while. Bob is 57.

Don was also the Gophers coach for 19 years. I would expect Bob to be excited at the new challenge and want to do it for at least a decade.

Depends on how fast he climbs the mountain. And which mountain he wants to climb.

I’ll be even more sick if a certain Husky alum leaves the WCHA for the NCHC...

Watch and learn a few a things as not like Matzko been raking in the big salary all his life so here's a way to double salary last 3-5 years of career and hand off to successor with perhaps a severance package funding retirement as did you notice what Don gets on way out the door? didn't Matzko leave SCSU once before?

Don was forced out. I don't take everything he said at the press conference as gospel.

Been in the works for years. RIP SCSU hockey. Even with him they could barely muster a .500 NCAA record

Well, this is interesting news.

Front-runners to replace Motzko?

Dick Umile is available if they want to continue the tradition of postseason chokes.

Whatever axe you want to grind. I think Lucia has thought about being done for a while and could never feel like he was leaving the program in a state he was happy about. I think it was tearing at him.

That's a nice little trick you have there. Accuse the other person of having an axe to grind, when your source is a wet dream you had about Don deciding to hang it up.

Anyone but Mike Hastings works for me. :)

Unfortunately, he has yet to crack the NCAA postseason win column yet, the only knock on what Mike has done in Mankato.

If Don doesn't want to hang it up than why does he sound like he's done with coaching? Why not go take another job somewhere? Or does he just want to cash the 6 figure paycheck he'll get from the U next year and then act like he got an itch and seek a job opening next offseason?

If Don wanted to hang it up, why did he text Frank Serratore: "I have accepted the terms of surrender"? Who submitted the terms for him to accept? How is it surrendering if it is on your terms?

What's your source for this garbage?

I agree, Don left on own terms as no way Coyle wanted to fire him, just was looking for a game plan to make a change so terms of surrender meant Lucia sticks around for duration of contract gets full severance payout to retirement and help choose his replacement. He wasn't planing to stay beyond one more year regardless.

Gallows humor. It's like when we're given an early release from work the day before a major holiday. Many of us call it early parole.
