Adam talks to Dave Smith about RPI and the process of the search. Nice discussion and if it's all true, it looks like the RPI search process was fine. They talk about the hockey alumni "issue".

Nice read.

Nice read.

I would not expect him to give a negative opinion about the search process in his position. If other schools hire the same company in the next couple of years, it would mean it was a good idea.

It is good to hear that he ahs contacted some alumni who were dissatisfied.

Of course I don't ever expect any kind of negative in this type of interview. However it seemed like he was being very descriptive about why he thought they were good. He could have just said, "I thought they were very thorough in the way they researched me.'

But I think you're sort of correct that if we see other schools doing the same, it might show that this is a good idea. Following along doesn't always mean it's a good idea.

I agree. Maybe I should have said "If other schools hire the same company in the next couple of years, it would mean it wasn't a completely asinine idea." :-)

CHN has a very nice feature: coaching changes going back to the beginning of the NC$$ era, 1948.

You too can now win a bar bet: who was the coach who replaced God when he left RPI for Cornell?

Answer: Rube Bjorkman.  The fuck is Rube Bjorkman?

RichH

WHO the fuck is he? Well, I just learned he's the only North Dakota coach to never win a title or make the tournament in the modern era. Minnesota grad. Hmmm.

He's no Cliff (Fido) Purpur, that's for sure.

Note the USCHO coaching history for North Dakota shows the team nickname at the time, not as it stands now. Including years when it officially had none. http://www.uscho.com/stats/history/north-dakota/mens-hockey/2016-2017/

I also noted on the UND team page on CHN that the old Sioux jerseys are marked down from $160 to $30 on the Amazon ad.

I'm shocked it's not the other way.  Not only because it's a GREAT sweater, but for the general Middle Finger attitude of the Sioux fanbase.

Plus the inevitable "collector's item" caché.
