RPI Off-Season 2013 Part I: We Will Get Our Title Next Season

Re: RPI Off-Season 2013 Part I: We Will Get Our Title Next Season

Assuming this is not an April 1st thing, I think it would be entirely possible.

Its real -- DU press release is out. Presser tomorrow at 11AM. Some speculation that a contract extension had been in the works, but that a meeting with brass did not go well today, leading to Gwoz's exit. I don't think Seth will be on any short list - Blasi and Motzko (just to name two) both have DU ties, have done far more in their leagues, and the post season. If he's interested, I gotta think Rico is a short lister. They'll certainly move fast -- in order to try to stem any possible recruit defections. Even though the rumors surrounding him have been re; the AHL, I gotta think Monty would be a contender, if he wanted to throw his hat in.

Do you think that SAJ would counter with either a hefty raise or contract extension from our side of the aisle?

Will Appert be considered for Denver job? Would he consider leaving RPI?

I have to imagine that this would be one of only two jobs he would consider leaving for, at this point.

I have no idea what the DU salary range is, but assuming its roughly double that of RPI, I'd say probably not. She'd probably wish him luck and shake his hand.

Already got the contract extension. Probably wouldn't offer same money as Denver. Coaching in the NCHC would probably be the main motivator for wanting to leave. I'm guessing Seth would be on the short list but also at the bottom of that list.

True. It's possible he has an exit clause for Denver or Ferris.

However, one possible glimmer of hope: Denver supposedly sacked Gwoz for lack of success in the national picture. I hate to give the right-handed reassurance, but we might be safe.

An extension beyond the 2016-17 offered the last time we made the tournament? Or are you referring to that one?

I asked the question on the DU thread, but its possible that his salary was low by "big boy" program standards -- that might've led to what sounds like a blow-up during the meeting with A.D. Given his recent extension, Seth may not be making that much less than Gwoz was making....probably all wrong, but just a thought.

I could almost live on that-but we might have to give up a couple of our cars and sell some of the jewelry.

Would you end up buying it back?

Personally I don't think that SA would be offered the DU job under these circumstances. FlagDUDE is a more likely choice.
