Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

[bose301s]

I certainly hope MTU gets BC on day 1

And win.

And win.

I believe Arizona State has both Tech and BC on the schedule this year. So my guess, like yours, would be NMU/ASU & Tech/BC, hopefully with an all UP Final!

It's been only one week since the University of Michigan formally introduced Mel Pearson as their new head coach. The search for his replacement began immediately. Today we review all the candidates we've profiled that so far, discuss how the process went last time in 2011 and bring up some of the rumors and other news items related to the most likely candidates to be the next Head Coach of Michigan Tech. Read the rest on THG.

It's only 2 nights, and there is hockey involved. It's the weekend after the New Year, which means a decent hotel will be relatively affordable (and kitschy old crashpads like Excalibur and Luxor will be at Super 8-level pricing), while crowds on the Strip should be minimal.

Oh I want to go, but I'm not sure family considerations will allow it.

Didn't specifically mean you, just thinking in general.

My sources tell me: Ron Rolston is the frontrunner. Job is his if he wants it.

Hmmm...buffer side...you joined the Forum on 4-10-11 and have only posted twice in six years?!? Based on your first post, I'm guessing you're either Glenn or Suzanne...or Ron...

I asked Dirk via email if he thought the last MP show would be the "last" one. He responded "Had a very good idea it might be the last."

Not much insight, but that was nice he answered. He seemed to sense it coming. Daver has a column in today's DMG, worth a read.

By the sound of his tweet,"proud we left our mark on the Copper Country" sounds like he left the program for someplace else...an assistant coach at Michigan maybe? Just a wild guess.

Granted, after the last few weeks, I don't know how much I trust Mel but I believe it was confirmed that neither Shuchuk or Shawhan would be going with Mel to Michigan.

I believe Mel is a straight shooter if it came from him. I trust that he wouldn't purposely lie about something like that if it came from Mel.

I hope Joe S stays. I really like him. Same for Shuchuk. Both are quality guys.

Hope they stay too. I like the style of play that Mel brought here and both of these guys know the system and how to run it.
If they can stay we may be able to keep some of it.

Do we have another Matt Roy, Shane Hanna, Reid Sturos,and Angus Redmond heading in this year?

So refreshing to hear the comments about keeping good assistants and continuing the path they are on.

Sure beats the last few coaching changes when we were asking whether we could find the right guy to turn the program around.

I've been enjoying the heck out of the THG articles. Virtually all of the options presented sound appealing (maybe not Whitten...)

I think my opinion hinges a lot on if we maintain continuity with Shawhan and/or Shuchuk. If that is the case, I have zero problem with going after a first timer/ outsider. If both of those guys stay, Payne is very appealing. Strong coaching background backed up by two guys that have been around the college game for a long time.

If those two leave (maybe just Shawhan) I would lean towards one of the guys with more college experience. The Ellsworth idea in this case works for me.
