It is no secret that Corkum and Whitehead didn't exactly see eye to eye and I think that shined through in Corkum's "campaign post".

I'm with Wayne on Cronin, no thank you.

I'm willing to give someone a fair shake, but since we've gone this far to oust the coach, I'd rather start with whole new staff and give them a shot.  Corkum may not be Whitehead, but he still represents the "old regime" to me.  (Kerluke needs to go too!!!)

What John said!

Also, while Pellerin years ago wanted to return to UMaine to coach someday, I've heard his interest is NHL now.  If Cronin was to get an interview, I'd be very disappointed ... probably enough to not want to be seen as a fan of the team.  While some Maine fans have praised Corkum for his Facebook post (via the SID!), I found it ... outrageous for a candidate to say and very disappointing since it was via the Athletic office.  Bad show all around.

Gwozdecky may be limited to the states of Alaska and Maine if he's looking for a college head coaching job.  I suspect DU let him go because his retirement payments would have been a huge increase going forward.  So even if Gwozdecky's base salary requirements weren't that great, I suspect they'll be impossible for UMaine to swallow.

So, barring other good candidates appearing, we'll be left with one that has not appeared to fill in the weaker points of Whiteheads coaching, and when Whitehead was fired, hasn't acted in a classy manner.    Boy, am I pessimistic :-(

Cheers, Wayne

I don't feel the list is legit.  If the school, or someone close to the committee, leaked this list, I assume Tremblay (and perhaps Gendron) is a head fake while the committee takes a closer look at Gwozdecky.  In the end, I think the job is still Corkum's.

Why is Gwozdecky not on this list?

I hear Tremblay is out.

Also hear another Maine kid has gone elsewhere, Winkler to Northeastern.

There was talk on the Maine Hockey Facebook group of Red Gendron, Sean Tremblay, Pellerin and Corkum being the search committees "final four". Not sure if there is any truth to that but seems like a good bunch to choose from.

Subject: Coach search

Hi all,
Is there any word on the search process?  Anyone know of people that have applied or being looked at besides Corkum?
At least some think we'll have an interim head coach for some time.
Anyone want to start a petition to hire Whitehead?  ;-)   (Sorry, inside joke)
Cheers, Wayne
