The gist of this is to find out which current college hockey coaches (Shawn
Walsh included) are, in the minds of hockey-l'ers, the best at plying their
trade.
 
Let's say you're the AD at Mankato State.  You're about to go D-I.  For
whatever reason, you are NOT fiscally constrained.  So if you want to offer
a coach $200,000/yr, you can do it.  Name your top 5, in order, current
college coaches (Shawn Walsh included) who you would try to hire away from
their current school to lead your program.
 
You want to win the NCAA tournament as soon as possible.  Top 5 -- in order
-- who're your dream coaches?
 
Reply to me, unless you want the whole list to see.

p.s. I'll start the debate by naming my 5:  Jackson of LSSU, Lucia of CC,
Berenson of Mich, Woog of Minn, and Gwozdecky of DU
