There are many other needs the university has and if we can't compete no matter what, and we have almost no shot, I say pull the plug.

Re: MICHIGAN TECH 2017 OFF-SEASON - We're Adding to the Trophy Case & Keeping Pearson
I was born in Hancock and grew up in the UP. I won't even start with how a lot of Yoopers feel about the nether regions of the state. If that's where Mel wants to be, then I wish him well, onward and upward with someone new. i hope he stays because he loves the UP and values the lifestyle and the people who have supported him. Then again, he probably has career aspirations that are harder to realize at Tech. I also assume that it is a decision that his wife would have a say in too.Last edited by Scrum Bucket; 04-21-2017, 02:06 AM.

I don't want anything to do with Gwoz or Eaves. Neither of those 2 bring anything to the table at this point. Eaves coaches the ****tiest most boring style of hockey that exists, I don't want to watch that trash.
I still am not convinced that Mel is leaving. I still think Michigan wants a coach that is a bit younger, that will be there for 20 years.Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

I think the talk about Mel leaving is premature. It's a possibility, but I'm not going to worry until there's something definitive. As I said, I fully expect Mel to go through the interview process even if he's made up his mind to stay. I think the main things Mel brought to the table for Tech were his leadership style, his strategy for success and his recruiting skills/connections. It will be difficult to match his recruiting power, but if we did need to find a replacement, we would want to look for someone with a very positive style of leadership and a great reputation for motivating and inspiring young people. That shortens the list fairly quickly as many of the coaches people have bandied about have mediocre to terrible track records as leaders/mentors. His outburst with Muckalt aside, I think NMU made an amazingly good hire in Potulny. To be frank, I think he and Muckalt have a lot of the same positive qualities. It would be great for the rivalry to see those two square off as NCAA coaches, but as people have noted, Billy seems more interested in the pro ranks.

Trying to just wait and see. UM job just mentioned on the Toronto Washington game by Pierre MacGuire in the context of talking with Zach Hyman.
Mel was first mentioned, then John Madden, or a combination of both. Then, a shout to Brian Wiseman. I really think Wiseman is a great choice for you UMers.
Will this all wait until after the coaches conference in Florida or will there be an announcement prior to the event????

I'll be really glad when it is all over. I also hope that we can get to a point soon, that our program is not considered by anyone else a stepping stone job, but rather a destination job.MTU: Three time NCAA champions.

I'm guessing most noticed the new NMU HC got a nice bump.
