College Hockey:
Holy Cross’ Pearl turns down Massachusetts head coaching job

USCHO Staff Report • July 7, 2012

First, Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold turned down the head coaching job at Massachusetts.

Then Friday, Holy Cross head coach Paul Pearl reportedly rejected a job offer from UMass, according to the Worcester Telagram and Gazette.

The report states Pearl was offered the position earlier this week.

Massachusetts is still in search of a replacement for Don “Toot” Cahoon, who stepped down last month.

Pearl would have been a good fit at UMass. He has done a solid job with a limited scholarship League. Unfortunately he would give up a life time position at HC to go to a team that will constantly be at the bottom of HE

UMass has no money to support a HE program.
