Re: Penn st. Job?????

Now that Sandy has won a national championship I wonder if he will be on the short list to replace Lucia? Wouldn't that be funny if he replaced Lucia next year?

Almost as funny as being told that you have smallpox.

It would be hilarious to hear 4four4 had smallpox.

Then you should give him a blanket.

Um, if Sandy leaves, he's leaving for Penn State. If he doesn't, then he'll have a long contract with tUMD. So your dreams will have to wait.

Because we all know it is unheard of for college head coaches to leave for other college head coaching jobs.

But I do agree with you on his options. Personally, I'll be surprised if it isn't Penn State.

It is going to be more hilarious when the UND administration announces their new school mascot.

Bah, contracts in college sports don't mean anything. For Minnesota to hire him he would need to have a winning record before they would ever consider him for an interview. Two coaches to watch are Seth Appert and Enrico Blasi.

Wow, Hammy, is that because of your inside info? Because this is the first I've heard of this! I live under a rock!

Sandelin isn't going to sign some piddly little 2 year contract at tUMD if he stays. So breaking a 5-7 year contract (which tUMD will HAVE to offer him as that's what PS will/has already offered) NEXT YEAR is ridiculous. Wherever he decides to go next (PS), the Gophers aren't going to lure him away. And as I said last year, he is SO not the right coach for UMTC.

Oh, Blasi? The guy who makes 300k at Miami through 2017? Miami has already shown they will do anything to keep him. They DOUBLED his pay. And where are we watching for Seth Appert to go? tUMD? He's not going to UMTC either.

I know you realize that. Such tension...

Even if he stayed at UMD, I don't think he would have ever been looked at to replace Lucia. I think the next guy will be an alum.

Indeed. I articulated that on GPL last year, sort of. He does not have the right demeanor for what the job demands. He could be successful there, if it was just about letting a coach do the best he can his own way, but the politics get in the way.

I agree Hammy, but tough call for Sandelin as both options are favorable.

It is so cute that you think contracts are set in stone. If the coach wants to leave at anytime in their contract they can do so. For example, the University of Minnesota has the ability to buy out any current opposing coaches contract. Do the currently have the ability? No, because they are paying off Monson, Mason and Brewster.

It would not suprise me but if Lucia does well next year he probably stays for a while longer. Next year imo is a make or break year for Coach Lucia.
