We’re trying to confirm things on this end, but we do know that a team meeting has already been scheduled for tomorrow morning.
9:55
Still looking to confirm things, but here’s some names to consider for the next coach. We’ll have something more long form this weekend: Eigner/Schutte, Dennis Williams, Wayne Wilson, Brian Hills, Doug Schueller, Steve Miller, and Peter Mannino.
And a wildcard: Dan Bylsma

Chris, Ty, and Barry came to BG when it was the absolute worst job in D1 hockey. There’s probably a lot of frustration tonight, but don’t forget what that trio accomplished in their nine seasons.
11:58
This is our final tweet since it is midnight, but in a twist of irony you’ll never guess who BG opens their season with in October:
Yep. A home-and-home with Miami.

ICYMI: Chris Bergeron has accepted the offer from Miami University to be their next hockey coach.

We’ve put in a request for the contract that BG offered Bergeron. Will share the details once we receive it.
Chris Bergeron’s new deal at Miami is 6 years for $305,000 per year plus bonuses.
I can confirm that BGSU offered him a new deal with a raise plus raises for all of his assistants & bonuses. BG didn’t match the money Miami gave him.

No one has been officially designated to run the team’s day-to-day operations during the search process. But, assumption is that probably falls to Ty Eigner (who is also a presumed candidate for the open position).
12:44
During this coaching search we’ll be throwing out names and discussing candidates. These are not endorsements nor will we, as a site, be “pulling” for one candidate over another.

Make more room on the wall: Mark Friedman has been called up the @NHLFlyers.

We’ll have a short post on candidates for the Falcons’ vacant coaching position later today. While Bylsma seems to be a preferable choice for many, there’s talk he’s in the mix for the @NHLFlyers’ open job.

Welcome to the NHL, Mark Friedman. Take the lonely lap. 
12:45
BG will have a little more financial leeway with their hire. The university is due a one-time $150,000 payment for Bergeron terminating his contract early.

Per @bemoose the coaching search could take upwards of a month and a half to complete. The job hasn’t officially been posted, but communication is occurring.
5:18
.@bemoose has been in contact with Rob Blake, Nelson Emerson, and George McPhee to “bounce things off of.”
6:54
Hopefully the month and a half timeline is conservative. You’d imagine BG will want to have someone in place for the AHCA Convention in Naples from May 1-4. WCHA meetings will be occurring during that time as well.

This opens the door for some of BG’s staff to join Bergeron at Miami.
Sources tell CHN that Miami associate head coach Peter Mannino and assistant coach Joel Beal will not be retained by Chris Bergeron, who was introduced as the new head coach last week.

Just a reminder that we’ve got nothing to do with the coach search and won’t be advocating or endorsing anyone for the position either. We’ll report anything we receive in the meantime.

This will change the timeline for communication with recruits.

Next the NCAA needs to take on over recruiting. That’s not a hockey-only issue though.
