Re: Michigan Tech needs a new coach, what do you say Cary Eades?

Here is the list of names I've heard mentioned for the MTU Job:

College Assistant Coaches:
Cary Eades - Associate Head Coach - North Dakota
Mel Pearson - Associate Head Coach - Michigan
Steve Rohlik - Top Assitant - Ohio State
Steve Miller - Top Assitant - Denver
Mike Guentzel - Assistant - Nebraska-Omaha
Brent Brekke - Top Assistant - Miami-Ohio

USHL Head Coaches:
Ron Rolston - Head Coach - USNDPT U-18
Danton Cole - Head Coach - USNDPT U-17
Eric Rud - Green Bay
Mark Carlson - Cedar Rapids
Jim Montgomery - Dubuque
Kevin Hartzell - Sioux Falls

DIII Head Coaches:
Scott Bell - Hamline University
Ron Fogarty - Adrian College
Tim Coghlin - St Norberts College

Others:
Cory Laylin - Head Coach - Buffalo (Minnesota)
Jim Johnson - Associate Head Coach - Norfolk (AHL)

Retreads:
John Markell - Former Head Coach - Ohio State
Rick Comley - Former Head Coach - Michigan State
Craig Dahl - Former Head Coach - St Cloud State
Doug Woog - Former Head Coach - Minnesota
Frank Anzalone - Former Head Coach - Lake Superior State

Pretty comprehensive list. There are five or six names I see that I think are likely to be in the mix. Rohlik, Miller and Brekke among the assistants. Rud and Montgomery from the Juniors and Markell from the retreads.

Its Eades first then everyone else. Eades would be the best hire, by far.

Besides he's a Tech alum, what's wrong with Pearson? And speaking of Tech alums, Rolston and Payne aren't doing to bad, so they can't all be bad even though the ones who've coached at Tech have been.

I think the WCHA experience is way more important than Tech Alumni status.

Maybe Tech can go with an interim for a year then hire Lucia. He's won two NCs and will be too young to retire. Unless things are stranger than they seem up in Wobegon, he'll need a job.

Might even come with an assistant for free.

I realize the WCHA has been good, but UofM hasn't exactly been a slouch. If you look at their list of players thru the past 10-15 years, it's probably top five in the country as well. Also maybe I'm just getting used of the idea because like it or not (and I don't like it), Tech's way is to hire alumni, so if Pearson wants the job,my guess is it's his to lose.

Someone told me today U of M has made the NCAA's 21 straight years. Mel Pearson has been there for 23. How do you argue with that? How is Eades a frontrunner by far?

I believe he just signed another three year deal.

Also Berenson signed another three year deal so it makes it more likely that Pearson may not want to continue waiting around.

You don't like Pearson, or you don't think any alumni should be interviewed?

I like Pearson; I don't like the fact that MTU views being an alumni as part of their criteria for hiring someone.

Re: Michigan Tech needs a new coach, what do you say Cary Eades?

I don't think an alumni should be given the position. Tech has been down that road many times and often you are blinded by it. The last time I believe Tech had some signs of real success was with Brown and he was quickly hired by the pros.

Mel left because his wife didn't care for it at Tech and he really thought Red would be gone in a few years. OOPS

Ronnie would seem to be a great choice but that goes against the alumni rule. I would expect Susan is consulting with several people that have ties. I know Comley had inquired at Tech in the past, though might have been to get the AD and Head Coaching job. He did seem to make it work at NMU. His frustration with MSU seemed due to players leaving early and he liked to build a team over time instead of recruiting one constantly. I would at least use Comley as a consultant.

Are you watching the Sioux game right now? Yeah, argument over.

I hear you. I don't think we should rule out anyone at this point, even if they are alumni. What I like about Pearson is that he has close contacts where we are likely to have more success recruiting than in MN, where Eades' might have more influence. I do think either one would be a great hire for Tech though.

Don't get too excited. UND played an engineering school that is worse than Tech at hockey today.

Don't under estimate this win; it is big. It makes your assisant coach the most qualified candidate for an open coaching position.
