As has been rumored…
He'd be an excellent hire.Bring in Albie
I do think Albie would be interested. In a previous newsletter, Mike McMahon insinuated there'd been at least informal talks between Cav and Albie. Dennehy is highly unlikely, he'd want to be a head coach somewhere.Would he come? What about Mark Dennehy
No clue if top choice but he does check the prep school coaching experience, the Collegiate/Hockey East playing experience and the professional playing experience boxes from the UConn job posting.I don't subscribe to it, but Jeff Cox reported in a paywall article that UConn is apparently targeting Joe's brother Michael Pereira as a replacement hire.
Played at AOF and Umass. Been a 5 year asst and director of admissions at AOF, according to his profile:What exactly has his coaching experience been?
Yep, and it does seem that Uconn writes the job postings to fit the candidates rather than the other way around. I sat in at Uconn's request to the FB coach hiring think tank with some other donors and the Parker Agency before Mora was hired. Though there was alot tossed around it seems like Benedict narrowed in on Mora ( rightly so) on his own outside of what Parker assisted with. After that the posting(s) seems to be just a formality.No clue if top choice but he does check the prep school coaching experience, the Collegiate/Hockey East playing experience and the professional playing experience boxes from the UConn job posting.
UConn wants coaches with HE experience? Darn it, I wanted them to hire Ron Francis .Drechsel doesn’t have Hockey East experience unless I’m missing something so he’s not a candidate.
It's that they've already picked out the candidate and he has HE experience. They're written to the candidatesUConn wants coaches with HE experience? Darn it, I wanted them to hire Ron Francis .
Now in all seriousness, why only HE experience? Nobody from a team like Michigan, Wisconsin or Minnesota could apply? Just wondering...
True, or I was hoping it was Dave Tippett or Kevin Dineen since they both at least have D-1 playing experience...UConn wants coaches with HE experience? Darn it, I wanted them to hire Ron Francis .
