Any word on who is next in line, DannyCal?

no word yet, although i did hear the tonka a.d. has turned the process into a mess in the eyes of some "tonka inner circle parents"

Maybe recruiting dollars are down

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

J.H.

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

there is talk that Tavis Macmillan the former head coach for the Alaska Nanooks of the CCHA who suddenly resigned this spring could be the new head hockey coach at Minnetonka...anyone else hearing this?

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.

Pat Quinn has been seen in the area

They're also interviewing the ghost of Herb Brooks

What is this guy's coaching path?

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.

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.
