With the retirement of Olympia Snowe from the US Senate, a name that has circulated in GOP circles is Steve Abbott. Should he decide to throw his hat in the ring, Maine will need to find a new AD. It would be near impossible for a new AD to make any changes to the coaching staff at Maine. I'm not convinced Abbott is inclined to make a change anyway, but it may not be his call to make. Just something to keep an eye on down the stretch...
