Seth Appert Faces Mile High Dilemma

(above) Seth Appert is a finalist for the DU ice hockey coaching position
by Ed Weaver

Seth Appert has long considered the head hockey coaching position at the University of Denver a “dream job.” Same could be said about the same position at Ferris State, Appert’s alma mater, it should be added.

Appert, though, interviewed for the open job at Denver earlier this week.

Being named head coach at Denver to replace his mentor, George Gwozdecky, after Gwozdecky retired is one thing. Replacing Gwozdecky after he was summarily fired by Denver’s athletic director Peg Bradley-Doppes could be quite another matter [read entire article].

Vegas Odds On Next DU Coach:

Greg Brown 6-5
Seth Appert 6-5
Derek Lalonde 3-1
Jim Montgomery 4-1
George Gwozdecky 12-1
Coombe Gets Fired 15-1
Peg Bradley-Doppes 19-1
Don Cherry 100-1
Scotty Bowman 200-1
Barry Melrose 300-1
Margaret Thatcher 400-1
Don Lucia 1000-1
David Carle 2000-1
Denver Boone 3000-1
Mike Shanahan 4000-1
Scotty Owens 5000-1

Gwozdecky softened in the odds to 12-1 from 11-1 yesterday.

Margaret Thatcher getting some action at 400-1 down from 500-1 yesterday. Clearly speculation of her death being a hoax is driving the action.

An interesting parlay is Coombe getting fired over the weekend and the Board naming Gwozdecky coach. It pays 180-1.

Peg Bradley-Doppes naming herself coach is getting action from Badger fans who think that she might try and pull a "Barry Alvarez and coach the Rose Bowl" angle at 19-1.

GO BROWN GO.

Replacing a legend like York would be a TALL order. George is a stallion, but NO Jerry. If it is true that Jerry York is looking for an extension then.

he would come in and turn this ship into a winner. Plus, all of the players and commits favor him as they have worked with him at various USA hockey camps.

Have you seen his record as a player, recruiter and Coach. These other guys are the "B' Team.

Odds on retaining Boone have been diving hour by hour. Gone from 100 to 1 down to 10 to 1 and still heading south. The new petition is the driver.
