Yep. Open records request will have to tell you all of the people that applied for the job. There were a some interesting applications (Bronco Mendenhall) when the Badgers opened up the position the last time for football (even though they had the candidate picked already.)

Come on Mr. Baggott, earn you pay on this one......If only one of us would have took Chuck's job, we'd have the list already. (edit...I just emailed abaggot@madison.com to prod him along)

Can he still add to the list or was that 2 week window the only window to apply?

I don't suppose any of the hockey writers left behind at B5Q are lurkers here, are they?

I can barely put together a coherent board post, so I felt that I wasn't fit to apply for Chuck's job.

I'm pretty sure that in a case like this they would only release the information after the positions have been offered and accepted.

An open records request would require a Wisconsin state school to release the full list of applicant names. A school can charge a bit for copies, time spent to compile, whatever, but would have to disclose it. Often a simple email to the SID will take care of it, especially if you're on familiar terms with the SID and/or mention you'll file a FOIA request if you must.

Wisconsin won't release the names until after the coaches are hired. At least the way it's always been handled in the past. I'm sure Baggot has already submitted a request.

Andy did respond to me and he did indeed file an application last week. He said he was still waiting.

We may very well be disappointed in the end but despite the negativity surrounding the program at the moment, I'm not sure the assistant's job isn't a pretty good opportunity for a lot of candidates. First, there aren't a lot of $130k-$150k coaching jobs in hockey. Which alone is a big thing. Second, if successful in contributing to a turn around, the assistants will receive a good deal of the credit. And if unsuccessful and the whole staff gets axed, the blame isn't going to fall on the assistants at all.
UW seems willing to offer a multi-year contract that would come with a buyout should things go awry. Hard to pocket a year or two of salary all at once for most guys even at the top assistant level. For someone ambitious and confident in their abilities, it seems to me it can be a pretty good opportunity when the worst case is a pretty good payout with little/no risk to reputation, and the best case is you look like a saviour/genius and everybody throws offers at you.

It will be interesting to see who applied. I gotta believe a decision will be coming down pretty soon. At least I hope so. Eaves is in a real bind with needing to fill scholarships and having no staff to sell.

Mike's "recruiting" trip to Canada a few weeks ago may not have been for players.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXXIII: A Fanbase Gets Smarter When All The Idiots Jump Shi

That report of him attending a game with Butters gets more ominous by the day...

I'll take Mario Lemieux and Ray Borque as assistant coaches, with Cujo volunteering as goalie coach. All 3 are bored just sitting around doing nothing.

Per Baggot "Badgers men's hockey: Mike Eaves to speak to Mark Osiecki about open assistant job"

"It remains to be seen if those amenities are enough to sway Osiecki, who sought to return to the staff in 2013 — only to see Eaves hire Walsh."

Eaves hired Walsh over bringing Osiecki back??:eek:

If this is true, this is just shows what a crazy idiot Eaves is. Did he not give Oz any credit for the recruiting that paid big dividends to his team? Did he actually think Schuey was recruiting at the level Oz was? OMG this is just ridiculous.

I don't know what's worse, eaves hiring Walsh over Oz, or the good ole boys in the athletic department that knew this and didn't fire the clown this year. A guy doing coaching seminars or a great recruiter with head coaching experience. Tough call there (rolling eyes).

I just want to scream.....
