UNH Wildcats 2017 Off-season: The Clash Question

UNH
Umile, Richard C
HEAD HOCKEY COACH
1.00
248,240

This is from UNH salary. I do not think he makes the difference from hockey camps etc to get to 457000+.

Deferred comp, mandatory retirement withdrawals and probably Social Security given his age. He's been flooded by AARP mailers for years.

He had deferred comp on his post U-Mass contract when he received large sum to be highest paid at UNH one year (5 years deferred comp), but I do not believe he has deferred comp as it would show up on the schedule as it is paid.

UNH will host the Northeast Regionals in Manchester 2019 (and I hope we will be there!!!)

Mike Souza will not be the youngest NCAA Head Coach when hired next year. Northern Michigan just hired Ryan Potunly, born in 1980, a year and a half younger than Souza.

Potulny has been an assistant at Minnesota for 8 years, and served as USA's assistant at 2 WJC championships. He recruited two Minnesota teams that went to the Final Four. As Northern Michigan has a somewhat similar footprint to UNH (former hockey power, not in a major city, recruit from BCHL) I will be interested to see how Potulny does.

This is what I have always seen reported as his salary. Until recently he had been the highest paid State employee. Hard to imagine that he has 200,000+ in camp and endorsement fees. also, he would be a fool to take his SS before age 70 and certainly his adviser told him that. I'm not questioning the authenticity, but can't imagine where the extra is coming from.

And, arguably Potulny's goal in the 2002 NC game was more important than any of Souza's post-season goals.

I left out playing career, which is pretty irrelvant to coaching ability -- otherwise Shawn Walsh would be the worst coach ever.

I'd put Souza's 99 Final goal up there, along with his assist on Mowers' 98 shortie vs. BU.

Oh, I realize that. But, having some of one's own highlight film as a player should help with recruiting, at least if your name is not Shawn Walsh.

I'm afraid to ask what the "1.00" stands for. Hopefully it's not his old UNH GPA.

Yeah, but Walshy had lots of innovative recruiting *ideas* that covered for his lack of a personal highlight reel.

1.00 = one full year, I think, as in 12 months, no vacations.

So, two more seasons, 2017-2018 and 2018-2019? How does Souza feel about this revelation?

Durham is 90 minutes from Boston. Where do you land 90 minutes from Marquette on the UP? The Soo?
