    Assuming he takes our job, buying him out would be pocket change for U of M if they really wanted him back.

        Not that it means much, but could be a different version of reality if Mel becomes the new Tech head coach.
        No offense, but I can't see Michigan being turned over to Billy Powers especially in the the new conference. MY bet is Red is now planning on coaching well into the new leagues start and this finally gave Mel the number of years he was no longer willing to wait to coach his own program. I see Tech advancing rapidly with Mel at the helm.

          I can see UM turning the helm to Ron Rolston.

            Whitten may go back to MSU. I bet.

              That actually seems like a pretty decent idea. I wouldn't be shocked if Rolston were on the list as a replacement if Pearson is indeed packing for Houghton.

                I'm somewhat surprised on Whitten, I just talked to him last week. He had just gotten back from a recruiting trip. I think he was well liked by the players though I'm sure he will catch on somewhere quite quickly. Sorry to see him go.
                Maybe Powers is coming as well... wouldn't that be cool!.

                  I should've said my sources say he has been. No official word yet. But, my guess is Pearson wants full control, top to bottom.

                    Pearson would have had the majority of the bargaining power in negotiating for the Tech job. Like I said in the other thread, I expect that he would get near-complete control over his staff if he's the guy.

                      I wouldn't be surprised if the hockey team doesn't get a new conditioning coach.

                        You know if they are going to announce a new coach on Monday, wouldn't you at least have a press release out regarding a press conference on Monday? Or maybe Monday they will be announcing a future press conference? Maybe Mel will control the program right down through the SID. We could use some more PR as well since we're turning over the program.

                          Michigan State didn't announce their press conference until about 2 hours before it actually occurred.

                              Kinda disappointing for Damon. He was a good assistant for Shyiak at UAA, I was disappointed to see him leave. Hopefully he lands somewhere.

                                If I'm not mistaken, Mel has turned down the coaching jo at Tech before. If the rumor is true, I'm sure that Red
                                has given Mel some idea how many more seasons he'll coach the Wolverines. That way, Mel can get a few years
                                as a head coach, while gaining experience building a solid D-1 program at a school that is a hard place to recruit
                                to (location & academics. I also think it would be a good time for Billy Powers to move, maybe to a school back East
                                where he comes from. I also agree that Ron Rolston could be a good candidate to replace Red. Both Ron & Mel shoulda/
                                coulda been head coaches years ago!!!
