UNH 2025 Offseason: Where in the World is MS7?

I remain fascinated by all the posters that view $240K or $270K as being rich. It's simply amazing. New Hampshire really is a cross between Central Massachusetts and Mississippi. It's a good salary but not that good relative to comparable institutions. East of Rte 128 in Massachusetts, it doesn't position a person to purchase a home that doesn't need a complete renovation or rebuild.

Only 7% of American households earn $250,000 or more.

Oops ... not for the first time, and undoubtedly not for the final time, our elitist blowhard Ma$$hole friend has gotten caught overplaying his hand ...

Also ... I never described folks earning "$240K or $270K" as being rich, as usual, that's just you straining in vain to advance another poorly supported thesis. Let's cut to the chase and call a spade a spade ... $240,000 annually may not make you rich, but if you're someone who spent the early part of your adult years chasing around the minor leagues and Europe in an unsuccessful attempt at making big bucks in The Show, then followed that up with modest wages schlepping around the Northeast as an assistant D-1 coach, and finally "hit paydirt" at the $240,000 per annum level, where you have proven to be the living breathing example of The Peter Principle, that $240K figure has gotta look pretty durned good, especially for a phys ed major who hasn't exactly displayed an outward ability to sell a product - not even his own D-1 hockey program - to buyers where the competition for his services are greatly diluted. The only way the subject of our discussion is gonna beat that threshold in the open market is if one of his "sugar daddies" has an opening for an overpaid security director.

It's not a hard point to understand, really. But you swing and miss, continually, nevertheless. Figuring that his charm has now finally gotten him over the 10 year threshold for a USNH pension etc. he's at least smart enough to know this is likely the best he's ever gonna do, and with his kids now of age to make their own way in the world soon, a lot of the pressure is off our hero. Even if he were to become an NHL scout in the future - and I know of no connections he's got to enter into that world with a chance - it would take the rest of his working years to even approach the money he is now making at UNH.

I would be very interested in getting your detailed vocational analysis on the myriad of high paying jobs available inside Route 128 to a 47 year old phys ed major with no employment history in the private sector to date. Being a teacher's assistant to Senator Pocahontas at Harvard doesn't count ... :LOL: :ROFLMAO: 🤪

Perhaps you should compare his situation with other UNH faculty and administrators. The State of NH does not prioritize higher education. The entire institution suffers. Any future head hockey coach likely will run into a similar situation

The institution is doing just fine, and if a D-1 head coach shows an ability to fill a building regularly with a winning team that earns some post-season revenue, they too can earn at least twice as much, if not more, than the current batch of .500 or below HC's. Just like Coach Umile did, starting a full generation ago.

As shown in the prior post, the State of NH is doing just fine educationally (and economically), it seems the folks in Concord have struck a pretty good balance in their "priorities". We know we have you city slickers licked when it comes to quality of life issues, and without the 5%+ state income tax, educators in this state are not exactly leaving the state in droves - if at all - for the lure of bigger bucks, more crime, more traffic, and (yes) much more taxes, in your Blue heaven. :ROFLMAO:

Public records as of 30 June 2024 indicate that 45 employees at UNH make $200+k/year, including 11 Faculty, all full professors but one associate professor. All the rest other than the three head coaches noted above are admin, with Rick Santos ranked 15th, Allison Rich 17th, Nathan Davis 19th, and MS7 20th. So, those 45 with salaries over $200k make up about 1.4% of the 3150 employees at UNH.

How many employees does UNH have?

He'll only get the $1.9M if he spends most/all of his time with the parent club. If not, he'll be lucky to make half of what MS7 makes.

Agreed. Here is his competition for time on the blue line with the Avs this coming season, with 2024/25 stats: Cale Makar (80 gm, 30 G, 92 pts), Devon Toews (76, 10, 44), Sam Girard (73, 3, 24), Sam Malinski (76, 5, 15), Josh Manson (48, 1, 15), and Keaton Middleton (41, 0, 2). Before you suggest that maybe Alex can replace Keaton, consider that the Avs also added Brent Burns this off season. Burns will be beginning his 22nd NHL season, with 1497 games played, 261 goals, 910 points, and 855 pen mins; has not missed a game in his last four seasons; and is a +45 his past three seasons with the Canes. So, unless multiple Avs D-men find themselves on the IL for long stretches, I doubt that Alex Gagne will see much ice time on the parent club this coming season, and likely far fewer than the 20 games that Angus Crookshank has logged with the Senators parent club in Ottawa the past two seasons. But, will be fun to follow, as we have so few alums to track in the NHL.

He should get a fair shot with the Colorado Eagles (AHL), looking at last year's roster, they are short on youth prospects, so if he plays well in preseason camp, he should at least get an AHL assignment out of it.

Buford: Please don't compare the NH educational system with Massachusetts. Mass has the best public high schools in the country while NH is, well, a joke. NH is running neck and neck with West Virginia. So you have more than poor dentistry in common with West Virginia now.

www.bostonglobe.com

These are the 40 best public high schools in Mass., according to US News & World Report - The Boston Globe

Among all the Massachusetts schools eligible for the list, 43 percent earned a spot in the top quarter of schools nationwide.
