Put me in coach.
On Thursday night, TSN's Darren Dreger reported that Tony Granato will be named head coach of Team USA for the 2018 Winter Olympics, with an official announcement to take place Friday.
Joining him behind the bench will be assistant coach Chris Chelios. However, former Dallas Stars great and Hall of Famer Mike Modano has thrown his hat into the ring, tweeting Thursday night that he would be willing to join as a consultant.
Congrats @TonyGranato on @usahockey men's coach. If you need a consultant I'm available.

Modano is a three-time Olympian and captured silver at the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, so he certainly has the experience for the job.
