Next St Cloud State Coach ??
Is it possible for a UMD staffer to become the next Huskies coach?
Re: Next St Cloud State Coach ??
I could see Brett Larson being considered. Brett has been an assistant twice with the Bulldogs. He was present for both National Championship seasons. He was an associate head coach with Ohio State, and was also the head coach/GM with the Sioux City in the USHL from 2011/12 through 2012/13.Northernlakes wrote:Is it possible for a UMD staffer to become the next Huskies coach?
He is a great coach, and has extensive recruiting experience. That along side his age, mid-40's, he can be around for a while if things work out. He is a Duluth native, and being "close-to-home" could be a benefit.
As a UMD fan, I would hate to see him leave again, but I believe he deserves the chance, and would be a good move for the Huskie program.

Possible St Cloud Hire
Agree 100 %. Great recruiter, family guy.

Agree 100% Schotzy on Brett Larson as a GREAT candidate for the SCSU job! He certainly has the resume (for it)Schotzy wrote:I could see Brett Larson being considered.

Duluth News Tribune now reporting it's Larson:

Where? Why? I’m sure Sandelin already turned down the Minnesota job, and he has things pretty good in Duluth. Perhaps his alma mater, North Dakota, might hold some interest, but Berry still has a few years of goodwill left there after winning the 2016 title. Sandelin is very much a northern MN guy, and it would be hard to see him take other prestige college jobs like BC, or even try his luck in the NHL at this point (he is 53).WestMetro wrote:Now, what comes next? Sandelin move?

UMD next asistant coach?
Who may Sandy look at.......I am sure he must have a list in his drawer.
The only other two D1 spots open right now.....that I am aware of....is Alaska-Fairbanks and Alaska-Anchorage. Seems like all the initial candidates for Anchorage, aside from one, have backed out. Fairbanks is not looking that attractive to many either.WestMetro wrote:Stay tuned?
Others?
I don't necessarily see a whole lot of Head Coach movement at this time, but some assistants will certainly be on the move.
No way Sandy leaves the Bulldogs. Not right now anyway.
I heard he applied to be Motzko's assistant.Schotzy wrote:The only other two D1 spots open right now.....that I am aware of....is Alaska-Fairbanks and Alaska-Anchorage.

That sounds like a trick question... so you’re saying that Sandelin is angling to become the next coach at Arizona State?hockey59 wrote:As we’ve touched on & joked about before...where would you rather coach (and more to the point LIVE) Duluth or Grand Forks? Ahh, as Paul Harvey would say “the answer to that question is too obvious to require elaboration”WestMetro wrote:Now, what comes next? Sandelin move?

Rumor has Kevin Smalley joining Larson at St Cloud,look for Cloquet job to open againSchotzy wrote:The only other two D1 spots open right now.....that I am aware of....is Alaska-Fairbanks and Alaska-Anchorage.

That would be a good move for Smalley. Sounds like Gibbons will follow Motzko to the U, but that Raboin is likely to stay in St. Cloud. Nick Oliver is another name that comes to mind.SpOilerfan wrote:Rumor has Kevin Smalley joining Larson at St Cloud,look for Cloquet job to open againSchotzy wrote:The only other two D1 spots open right now.....that I am aware of....is Alaska-Fairbanks and Alaska-Anchorage.

Believe you may have this reversed, Gibbons staying, Raboin moving on is the scenario with the Oliver thing in the works.Puckguy19 wrote:That would be a good move for Smalley.
