Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward
Shawhan the Coach needs to draw talent to Houghton, Ellsworth fills the recruiting strength and gets on the job familiarity before taking over down the road.
It seems like connecting the dots is clear otherwise I think Muckalt or Ellsworth would have got the job after Rolston was out.
I think we have a solid coach, but the worry is matching/replacing the recruiting draw that Mel had.
Maybe over thinking or just wishful thinking....Last edited by Huskiefan906; 05-29-2017, 10:38 PM.

I don't think there's anything worth seriously dwelling on though. We hired a good coach, IMO. One that, should he put successful teams on ice, is fairly likely to stick around for the duration.
Originally posted by giwan View PostWhat was the recruiting draw Mel had? Even he said when he started he was getting guys saying no way or not answering the phone. So the real key is development to show they can go to the next level.
How do you think UML gets the recruits they do? It isn't because folks outside the Northeast have ever heard of the school. I won't pretend that most people outside of the Midwest have ever heard of MTU either, even casual college hockey fans (as proven to me by our Connecticut sales guy who is a Yale fan).

I can't wait to see the looks on people's faces in about 20 minutes when Scotty Bowman is announced as the next Tech head coach.

Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward
"Dr." Suzanne Sanregret mentioned a list of names to thank, so you can infer from that who could have possibly been on the committee:
Brian Brewster
Tyler Shelast
Mike Stevens
Bill Sproule
Joel Isaccson
Calvin Larson
Gary Kruzich
Darcy Way
Kevin Luke
Alane Isaacson
Brent Baltus
Mike Neville
Les Cook and Glenn Mroz were part of the search but I don't think they were part of the committee.
Suzanne was crying at the end of her introduction of Joe. His off-mic remark - "I hope those are tears of joy."
