I disagree with your last sentence. Coyle hired Fleck, Medved, Plitzuweit, and Motzko. 4 damn good hires. He’s got plenty of credibility.

With our resources Larson could excel here. He did great at SCSU prior to NIL and he's had a pathetic budget to work with since then. I think it will be hard for anyone to do well at SCSU. Let's not forget he took them to the national title game. I know it was Bob's players but it's still a...

Call me crazy, but I still think Raboin will be the hire.

Fair.

I honestly think Larson could excel here. He’s not half as bad a candidate as people here think. He wasn’t even on my radar initially but it wouldn’t be a bad hire.

Never claimed he was Jesus. But you know he’s better than Monson, Pitino, and Johnson. I only said he’s our best coach since Haskins which I know is true. Actually I guess we could argue Tubby, I somehow forgot about him. But the bottom line is that Medved was a great hire by Coyle.

UCONN lost to Merrimack. I think that knocks Augustana out of the tournament but not positive. If Raboin is truly no longer a candidate we’ll know for sure soon.

They have more money than Coyle does.

All those schools emphasize football and basketball over hockey. Every one.

Hockey, wrestling, and volleyball take a backseat when we’re talking about the job performance of an AD at a Big Ten school. And I’ve had hockey season tickets since the ‘80’s.

He hired the best football coach we’ve had since Lou Holtz. He recently hired the best men’s basketball coach we’ve had since Haskins. A couple years ago he hired the best women’s basketball coach we’ve had in over twenty years. He hired Motzko which was the right decision. Yes he’s had some...

We’re still early in the search process. There are more candidates than Larson and Potulny. On Coyle, he’s a good AD and our athletic department would miss him if he left.

Agreed. The tweet and statement were both very vague and would be exactly what you would say as a potential candidate while your current team is on the verge of their first tournament appearance.

NMU was terrible prior to Potulny and have won 8 games total in two years since he left. Maybe we’re being to hard on his qualifications.

Hearing a lot of Potulny steam. He’s way down my list but who knows maybe he’d thrive here. Can’t deny his passion for Gopher hockey.

I know it wasn’t an interview. Raboin left Minnesota as an assistant 3 years ago for this exact moment. To get head coaching experience and then succeed Motzko as our head coach.

Raboin was asked. Not the AD.

He was asked by the Strib. He had to answer with something.

Raboin said, “I’m excited to lead Augustana hockey into the future.” What’s he supposed to say when he’s flat out asked by the Strib about the job opening? It was a very vague statement clearly leaving the door open. His team’s season isn’t over yet.
