Kevin Patrick or Dallas Ferguson, you decide

OK Nanooks fans here's a forum for your voice to be heard. Which one of these two hockey coaching finalists do you want to see guiding your team?
Why?

No doubt Wisconsin is a great program. Kevin Patrick has been there (3) years, he shoulders the recruiting in terms of being out scouting and spends less time with the team. Finding talent is not difficult, getting talent to produce is another story.
This is not Mike Eaves. If it was Kevin would be my vote.
From what was said at the two different public forums, its clear Ferguson bleeds blue and gold, has community support, player support and has the passion to lead the team into the future.
The man that can keep his family here, and get the best out of the community, players and University is my choice.
This is a no brainer, Ferguson is the leader for this program.
I think almost every game I saw Wisconsin play on TV Kevin Patrick was on the bench coaching. He certainly wasn't 'just' recruiting. And how would he work with the forwards while 'just' recruiting? Ferguson coached the defense. I don't think he was 'just' recruiting either.
Both applicants gave strong presentations. If Patrick is chosen he will keep Ferguson and there will be a great coaching team. That's a two for one deal. It's not clear what Ferguson will do for assistants as he didn't seem to have a plan other than talk to current assistants and go from there. Patrick had a plan and people in mind.
"The man that can keep his family here, and get the best out of the community, players and University is my choice", and from the presentations that could be Patrick or Ferguson.
