Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

I wonder if Mikesch got hired if he still keeps in touch with or would try to bring Cam in as an assistant.

Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

IIRC, Mikesch left before Jamie was let go, did he leave on his own or was he let go as to try and right the sinking ship?

Mikesch coached with Russellbin 2010-11

I thought Whitten replaced Mikesch, guess my memory was wrong. I forgot about Chris Tok.

yup, Whitten replaced Tok who replaced Kallay...while Muckalt (after Pearson was hired) replaced Mikesch who replaced Maroste

Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

Based on a study I was working using data for the last 20 years of college hockey. I compared the final three seasons of the predecessor with the first three seasons of the successor. Only six program who had a .500+ record promoted an assistant.

1. Minnesota State - Troy Jutting
2. Niagara - Dave Burkholder
3. Princeton - Len Quesnelle
4. Alaska-Fairbanks -Tavis MacMillan
5. North Dakota - Dave Hakstol
6. Union - Rick Bennett

Only Rick Bennett improved on his predecessor's record, improving +0.101. Len Quesnelle had a net change of -0.239 sinking the program below .500. Tavis MacMillan also dropped UAF below .500 in his first 3 years.

FYI, from the Soo Lakers and apologies for trolling your thread. Full disclosure, we are huge Joe Shawhan supporters, maybe because he is one of us, (like T. Kero to Houghton). Maybe because we just know he is good. Your thread is more interesting than ours right now.

Some clarification on the study.
You state “Only” six programs in the last 20 years with a .500 record for the 3 years prior, promoted an asst. to HC when the opening became available.

The way this is presented makes one think that the vast majority seem to choose to hire outside. That seems odd for many reasons.

More than 20 years ago LSSU met your profile and hired twice from within that led to 3 NCAA titles, Frank Anzalone (1) and Jeff Jackson (2). Additionally, as your study shows, Union hired within and immediately won an NCAA title.
For some reason North Dakota was not included in your study after promoting their AC and winning the NCAA title a year ago?

A couple of us chugged at this for a few minutes and we can only find 3 additional programs that met your standards. Yes they hired outside, DU-Montgomery, BU-Quinn, MSU-Comley but no others jumped out at us and if we’re accurate that means less than 10 schools meet the criteria of the study and six promoted from within. That makes more sense to us. Can you correct us if we’re wrong?

22 programs replaced a coach that had +0.500 record over three seasons prior. Only six promoted from within.

North Dakota doesn't have three years of history past a coaching change.

Edit: 12 were alumni of the school they were hired to.

Got it. Combined three year record verses three consecutive years at .500.
Thanks

I think we're all hoping North Dakota continues to tank.

Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

We're hoping Michigan tanks when they are playing Tech. I frankly don't care beyond that. I'm apparently not as obsessed as some folks here.

THG has confirmed that we missed someone in our 16 profiles. There should be a new profile article up tomorrow morning if we get pictures...

Did Red Berenson change his mind and come out of retirement?

I will say that if we were going to miss someone this guy makes complete sense. I'll say more after its released.
