Dartmouth HC Position Opens Up

Dartmouth went 6-6 this year -- best in ages -- with an upset of Gerry Byrne's Harvard squad for their first Ivy regular-season win in years.
Most top scorers are back, but Big Green brass decided to find someone else to build on this .500 squad.

The only other D1 lax program in need of a head coach is Queens (Charlotte, NC), which went 2-13, playing in the ASUN. (For reference, they lost to Cleveland State 13-12, but got shellacked by Utah, 18-6).

So, would either of ND's assistant coaches be interested/be of interest to either of these programs?

OC Chris Wojcik has extensive experience in the Ivies, having been an assistant at Penn and Harvard, before being head coach for nine years in Cambridge. He's a northeast guy (from New Jersey, with all that New England experience) and might want to head "back" east. One would think he'd know the terriory, recruiting-wise, even though Wellner heads that up. However, this doesn't appear to be a tear-down job ...


...On the other hand, Queens looks like a nearly start from scratch job. Would Wellner be interested in a rebuild? Maybe ASUn wasn't first choice, but with his recruiting background, he could redirect some kids down "south" and his defensive approach could serve as a groundrock start.

Any ideas?
