St. Cloud State University HUSKIES!!

Maybe an institution that wants a respectable hockey team rather than an English teacher.

you've been listening and reading the self proclaimed experts too much. Those rules only apply to jobs that just about any pin head can do, the purpose of the rule is to winnow down the number of acceptable applicants, not find the best. Since anybody can do those jobs, you don't really need the best, in fact you don't want the best because then you'll have to pay them accordingly.

Mark Johnson never coached women before, he seems to have done alright, in fact he obsoleted just about every existing coach at the time.

Mark Johnson has done well, I wonder how many have come over and failed? Either way women's hockey is still a new sport growing compared to other sports. There is not a abundance of 40 or 50 year old something hockey people who have been in the women's game a long time. I think in any business having a clean resume is important.

lemme guess, CLA grad?

the coach isn't going to hand out resumes to potential recruits, it will be his personal connection. Obviously he was successful in selling himself to the first and most important person, the AD. (BTW, a woman)

and isn't differentiating between coaching males and females kinda sexist? The Utopians keep claiming there is no difference.

What do you believe are the differences if any in recruiting a males vs females for a coach?

If you can't be bothered to make sure that your resume is correct, I don't want to hire you for any detail oriented position. That includes coaching. You are not hired for just your direct qualifications.

As soon as schools start hiring women to coach men's teams I'll start believing that they think having athletes coached by the same gender isn't critically important.
 
Re: St. Cloud State University HUSKIES!!

I don't if it sexist. Do a lot of women get interviews for men's jobs?

I don't know of a single instance of a woman getting an interview for a men's job. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened; just that if it does, it's rare. This is not just true of hockey. (It's also not just true of coaching; look around for women officiating men's games, too.) Yes, it's sexist. Either it's unimportant that coaches be of the same gender, in which case women should be taken be taken seriously and get hired to coach men's teams, or it is important, in which case men shouldn't be coaching women's teams.

a coach is a detail orientated position? I bet that isn't on the SCSU or BSU job posting and furthermore odds are high for a job like that they didn't have some pin head in HR or a machine checking the resumes, they all went straight to the AD.

oh, I'm sure the majority of schools WANT to hire women to coach women (go back in time to the year 2000 for hockey), but the ones that want to win , which is about 99% of them, will hire the best coach regardless of gender or sex.

As a follow up to this, Andy Murray just hired Amelie Mauresmo as his new coach, so at least one male athlete is willing to hire a woman.

I have heard of cases of females coaching males in team sports as well, but it is obviously very rare.
 
Re: St. Cloud State University HUSKIES!!

Now that the Fetters have landed at OHA, (Penticton) what type Of assistants would be best suited for SCWH , someone with NCAA experience, or do you look at the high school level of coaches pool?
Maybe one of each ?

Off the coaching topic so I apologize but I figured that this was the thread to ask for recommendations for decent hotels and things to do in the St. Cloud area in the summer? Difficult to figure out from the interwebs. Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Re: St. Cloud State University HUSKIES!!

Let the useless speculation begin. Any idea who gets the assistant spots?

I think the Holiday Inn downtown is an OK hotel, reasonably modern, a restaurant, located on the banks of the Mississippi within easy walking distance of the Saint Cloud campus. Things to do? Geez, that's a little harder. If you are a geologist maybe. There has been extensive quarrying of granite in the area. Saint Cloud sometimes referred to as the Granite City, abandoned quarry outside town is a county park, very pretty spot. Huge active quarry still operating in town mostly for crushed granite for railroad ballast and road construction. In nearby Cold Spring they are still quarrying granite for slabs for building material, granite tile, building facades, counter tops and like that. There is fishing nearby that is excellent, I think bicycling in the area is pretty good with connections to multi-use trails maintained by the state.

Saint Cloud and nearby areas are really, really pretty but it is a not a very large city.
