Maybe recruiting dollars are down :wink:

Are you saying H-M is in the market for a new coach as well?

Never offer a job, unless you know the answer you will receive. It just deteriorates credibility. 8)

What is this guy's coaching path?

No offense to Tonka types. I can't see coaching at Minnetonka as a stepping stone to greater levels of coaching.

Remember: Pat Quinn is still un-signed. Up the high school coaching pay by $2,996,000 and you might get him.

Don't put it past Tonka to pay someone big money. There are some deep pockets over there. :roll:

He's already been a Division I coach at Alaska-Fairbanks, so not necessarily a stepping stone. It is reasonable to assume that in addition to a teaching/coaching salary, that there are some incentives that will be added to the deal. In total, it could easily be as good as a mid to lower level DI program.

Plus, he has small children, so there would be some attraction to not being on the road 24/7. 8)

I heard last night that a.d. also offered job to Jim Hillman recently and he also rejected it. Maybe macmillan is the guy now? It sounds as if the "inner circle" is getting restless more and more everyday.
