Houghton would seem like a garden spot compared to most cities in the Great White North.

Open the flood gates look at other coaches.

If that is correct, and I do think it's a very plausible scenario, it shows the thought that funding was not to be an issue to be false.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$------Dean Blais ----$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ should have followed the money trail from Omaha to Hoton.

Did anyone honestly believe that the sky was the limit when it came to money? The indication was that money would be much LESS of an issue this time around, NOT that it would be a non-issue.

He was met in St. Paul. There was an offer to visit because they got close to an agreement, but then he pulled back. He has been to Houghton numerous times over the past 30 years, and was well aware of what the school offered and didn't offer.

Word is he was looking at the possibility of a coach-in-waiting situation, where his top assistant would be the next coach when he retired. There was an issue over the length and amount of funding it would take to get that done.

Hence his current UNO situation, which is why the urban legend of an out-clause to MN makes some of us laugh hysterically.
