Mel is coming back to Michigan as long as Coach Berenson decides to leave. I personally don't think that AD Manuel has the stones to fire/not offer Coach Berenson another contract.
Pretty sure that Mel, his wife, and family would much rather live in civilization down here than with the coyotes up there where it's winter 8 months out of the year.Originally posted by alfablueStill bitter, eh?

Originally posted by UMICH View PostOK, correction. Cole is out, unbelievably Mel is coming back. The Techies say that it isn't possible but from what I heard today (same source as the Cole rumor) is that Cole got cold feet AND that Mel is coming back. He didn't guarantee it but that's what he guessed. He used the "Mel still has his house in Saline" factor to confirm it. I want to believe it but it sounds too good to be true. Coach Berenson still needs to retire though. That announcement will come Monday, if it happens.
It's quite possible Cole heads to sparty now.

Susie loves Houghton. She's an alum too. Mel has now coached or played at Tech for 16 years, and unlike Skunkville they never have screwed him over. He loves the community, and it's fun to be the top dog instead of an after thought.
If SUNY-Ann Arbor was so great, why should it matter who coaches? Everybody should just be genuflecting in front of them from the other bench. And I would be awfully suspicious if people kept telling me I was the guy they wanted all along...But only AFTER Danton Cole said he wasn't interested.

Re: Michigan Wolverines 2016-2017 Season
Well it will be tough if Tech loses him, no doubt, but i'm pretty sure the house is not an issue, just put that part out of your mind for now. otherwise, can't we all just wait a few more weeks? I'm getting tired of thinking about it.
And Houghton is not as bad as you all make it out, especially now we have global warming.MTU: Three time NCAA champions.

If you ask my dad, he thinks Tech did screw Mel years ago when they didn't hire him for HC.
So they made it up, just late.
Not so say he's coming to Ann Arbor, but don't pretend that Tech has always been on the high end.

Now, Mel may or may not want to step in at Michigan and try to salvage something of his early-career legacy there considering the program is in shambles and he no doubt feels some personal responsibility for letting everyone believe Red knew what he was doing for 20 years. But whether or not Mel agrees to step down and semi-retire to salvage things at Michigan, we couldn't possibly have a better example of "arrogance." Just take another look at what you wrote. Michigan is a has-been, would-be football school that can't even keep up with "Ohio State" in that department.Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

Re: Michigan Wolverines 2016-2017 Season
Lol. You claim that Michigan screwed him, but not Tech for the exact same reason.
And "other" reasons that somehow don't apply anymore.
We know that you desperately don't want to lose him, but be realistic that Tech and Michigan are closer than you think.

Mel was ready to be anointed as the next head coach when Red hung it up. David Brandon arrives, tells Mel he has no such right as the successor. Mel finally leaves after fulfilling the promise to his kids.
And you're telling me that's the same as Tech?
