    How ambitious is Pearl? He is not young and hungry. He quit as head coach at Holy Cross to become an assistant at Harvard. At best, he might be similar to Dennehy.

    Pearl was living much closer to Harvard when he quit at HC if I remember correctly. Plus the pay was likely more at Harvard.

      As others have said, the NHL talent Albie had lined up to come to NU and got to come to Harvard was impressive. For my money, he's one of the top recruiters in the sport, but I'm not sure he'd take the job. I'm not sure Keefe would either. If the booster rumor is real, why would a highly thought-of Hockey East coach want to work for that administration, after they blindsided a widely respected coach because a donor threw a hissy-fit?

          No. They want big or go home. Timmy is not that, we know that.

            there are a whole lotta answers why teams consistently finish in the bottom 1/3rd in this post.

              IF... a booster can get a coach fired, will probably also be naming the replacement hired.
              If you're not his boy... fohgeddaboudit. Just sayin'.

                Tim would be a great candidate. However, I don't think he will be leaving Kimball Union just yet. He is having way too much fun coaching his son and winning championships. The day will come when he leaves, but not yet.

                  If I am Whitehead I would want a better job than Merrimack considering this would probably be his last college gig if he failed. He needs to go to a place that is seriously committed to winning.

                    Couldn't agree more. His next stop will be at a University with resources and commitment to hockey.

                        It is good to have ambition. But it needs to be realistic.
                        It seems like a lot of people are swinging thru this thread for the first time in 7 years and bringing out the "facilities" crap. Child please. The locker rooms, weight rooms, etc are first-class by any measure after the recent renovations:

                        The brand new football stadium is pretty impressive too.

                        And, for the time being at least, the hockey players are absolutely the big fish in the small pond on campus. A lot of young men like that idea. Did you see the stands at the Schneider on Friday while the PC hoops game was on?

                          I think you need to get out a little more often.
                          Compared to BU, BC, Lowell, UNH, Providence and even Northeastern - the closest HE schools - the facilities at Merrimack would still rank last.

                            Spring Break. Attendance at all 4 playoff locations on Friday and Saturday were under 3000.

                              in a contest between bentley and mack, mack would rank last.
