Dickenson Not Our Next Head Coach

Well, we sure as hell don't want somebody who puts things in perspective. Fuck that! We need swagger!
Pretty sure this will be the 15th thread about Hauck.
This is something that I have thought about as far as Dave Dickinson being the Head Coach at the UM.
In his playing days, he earned a legacy, and is revered as one of the greatest to have ever played here.
Imagine the expectations that would be on his shoulders as the HC for the UM.
Dave Dickinson walk on water here once, I don’t know if anybody including Dave Dickinson could live up to the expectations that would be levied upon him as HC at the UM.
I would think that DD has given this some thought also, and may be the reason he is comfortable in the position that he is in.
A job that appears he loves, home in Canada with his lovely Canadian wife and children, and not having to meet unattainable expectations for the second time.
These are just my thoughts, and if I were in DD shoes I would have them.

He is a smart man. He would be in a potentially lose-lose situation here.
If he took over the Griz job he would:
Probably lose the crown of "Super Dave." We would lose a few games and the crowd could turn on him. He could go from hero to goat in one short year.
Probably lose a better salary than the one he is getting in Calgary.
Probably lose lots of the family connections--new place to live, new work hours, recruiting and film study hours eats family hours.
He would lose many of his Calgary friends, neighbors, etc.
He is pretty darn smart to stay where he currently coaches.
