    Yeah, about $150k would be my guess for an AHL coach.

I'll try and invest some time this week in going deeper into many of them.

        I would be comfortable with Muckalt, Rolston, Shawhan, or Eades. Time for me to fly, more thoughts later.

            Technically the title is now quite misleading.

              The most important question - what's the word out of the paint store? Do you still have them as a source?

                  Chris Bergeron? Really? Is Tech that much more of a destination coaching job than BG or are you trying to make the list longer/more impressive?

                    It's a risk you take when he's underpaid at $170k salary. Tech would have the $250k to buy him out as a result of Mel's buyout.

                      Sure, we have whiners. So does everyone else, and in spades. You've been to REA and possibly Yost - you know what it's like.
                      Stepping stone programs can succeed long-term. I don't know if there is a great example in college hockey but Xavier/Dayton come to mind in college hoops. I could understand being ****ed if Michigan hired him after one blah season at Tech. The guy leaves your program in as good of shape since when exactly? When was the last time Michigan Tech was as good a program as they have been the last 5 years or so? If you have competent administrators, you find the next guy to build on what Pearson has done. Mel Pearson did the hardest work. If the next guy is any good, he has it much easier.

                        I actually agree with all of this, but that doesn't mean our fans have to happy about it, or "wish Mel luck" at Michigan, or aren't entitled to give him hell at the next GLI.

                          Even with the "he's underpaid" risk, he's going to uproot his school age kids for cashola and land at Tech? I get the first part, but the second? I guess stranger things have happened...

                            It won't be Bergeron, don't worry. I doubt he even applies.

                              This figures are a bit outdated. Bergeron has a base of about $185,000 now with some makes life. Bonuses that put over $200,000. It's also spelled out in his contract that he will get around $170-175,000 with which to pay his assistants. And then there are other bonuses and perks.He also has attendance bonuses that have paid him quite handsomely. No disrespect to Tech, but it would be a lateral move at best for Bergeron.

                                We put it in there as a possibility, but no real expectation. Maybe we'll get him a raise.
