Re: MICHIGAN TECH 2017 OFF-SEASON - We're Adding to the Trophy Case & Keeping Pearson

Ooops sorry, I accidentally stumbled into the "Who will be Michigan's next coach?" thread. I was looking for Huskies hockey. Seriously, who cares who Michigan hires? It isn't going to be Pearson so it is of no concern to us until the GLI rolls round next season and we have to play Michigan.

If you played at Tech, graduated from Tech, then coached at Tech for a few years, followed by 20+ years working at another rival university that never gave you the opportunity you really wanted, then were able to come back to Tech for the opportunity you really wanted, and are pretty much universally loved by everyone at Tech including the administration... Other than Michigan offering Pearson $1M per season plus incentives I see zero chance he makes a change and as you get older you'll realize that money isn't everything.

What is the greater accomplishment - Taking over a program someone else built, or building your own dynasty from nothing? In summary:
A) Michigan head coaching position is not better than the Tech head coaching position for Mel
B) I'm not even convinced that Pearson would be Michigan's #1 coaching prospect, even if they had their pick of anyone they wanted
Hoppy Easter,

I have a funny feeling Muckalt is going to get the NMU job.
Michigan will hire a coach with head coaching experience at the div 1 level or higher.
Mel wants to win a NCAA title before retiring and he will decide where he wants to be.

I can see all the announcements waiting until all the dominoes fall.

Davyd83, is it decided yet?

I'm just guessing that he either knows or is very confident that Muckalt is not a finalist for the NMU job and that NMU will not be waiting for any other decisions likely because their 5 finalists aren't really involved in Michigan or replacing Mel if he does go to Michigan.

Nope

Correct

I don't think it's realistic for Mel to "just say no" to Michigan right out of the gate. He was there 22 years and has a lot of close ties. Even if his mind was completely made up to stay in Houghton, it makes sense that he might still sit for an interview and hear them out. I think it would be a little politically incorrect and might even offend some people at UMich if Mel immediately said "No, I won't even consider it." If he goes down for an interview, I wouldn't read too much into it.

You almost never give an outright NO. Polite or not you want to know where the market is and where they are going.

All I know is Coach Pearson has made Tech hockey so entertaining, I have been rooting for Tech since I was 5 years old. It is my favorite team for my favorite sport. It started with a GLI, then the Cup returned to Houghton, then the Broadmoor. National success awaits, I just hope heart wins out. As was mentioned, Coach Pearson and staff have put Tech hockey back on the map. I am hoping I can stop holding my breath soon for my alma mater.

Apparently twitter is showing we have two new recruits who signed NLI's. I view this as a positive in more ways than one.

Justin Misiak and Seamus Donohue, two previous verbals. Seamus' document is in full view and shows that he's receiving a 3/4 scholarship.

Now that you mention it, you can read Misiak's when you zoom in...he's a full ride.
