Who will be the SJ Sharks Head Coach for 2015-16?

[JayP812]

Head Coach : Dan Bylsma ........................

Here are your 2015-2016 San Jose Sharks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not my first choice but better than anyone else the Sharks have reportedly talked to. Pens fans were being way over dramatic at the end of Disco Dan's time there. You would have though he was the worst coach in the NHL while his team was winning their division.

If it's Carlyle, DeBoer, or Oates I will immediate flip from the "worried about DW's actions" camp to the "fire DW" camp

Same here. That trio is the holy trinity of suck.

I think Bylsma is a very good coach.


I hope those who were so frantic about firing TMac are happy that the Sharks are looking at like 1 good option out of 6.

 

[Helistin]

I get that people dislike Oates but I don't get the hate towards Carlyle,DeBoer and Bylsma.
They all have their flaws and I wouldn't exactly be super stoked with the first 2 but each of them have atleast made it to finals. And no , stacked team doesn't guarantee making it to the finals -> See Koala and the Sharks.

 

[weastern bias]

I hope we get an over-the-top defensive coach who helps us obstruct our way to greatness

**** entertainment, I want Ws

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Bylsma gets a bum rap from Pens fans just like their current coach does. That franchise front office infrastructure is dysfunctional with Mario and Bill Guerin calling shots.

I like Bylsma too.

I think DeBoer is pretty good when it comes to systems. Granted his systems leans towards low event hockey in NJ but it worked well when he had some talent to work with. I am not at all a fan of how he handles young players & that should be a big red flag for this team. I also really dislike his love of vet and/or grit over younger skill, which many other coaches have as well and is probably going to happen regardless of who takes over.

I'm really hoping that one or two of DW's main targets are still busy, maybe Dineen, Green or (I'm seriously reaching here) Smith.

If you narrow your list down to 2 or fewer your odds go up that you can start bashing DW early. Otherwise you'd have to wait until we lose our first game.

DeBoer: a fan's kind of coach

Sorry to nitpick a bit here, but pens are my second team. Mario and Geurin are absolutely not calling the shots, Ron Burkle is the guy who has made a hash out of things over recent seasons. The hope for many is that when this plan fails that will allow Mario to step back in and lead decisions that impact management.

While the Sharks have stated that they want to be young, they are still a fairly old team.

I wonder why you see this love of vets around the league? Couldn't be that they are actually on to something.

Sportsnet summarizes the searches for new coach with the five teams still looking. Includes quote from Oates who believes he's ready to be a head coach.

I don't think DeBoer is as bad as Carlyle or Oates, but if the Sharks aren't going to be contending I at least want them to be entertaining. DeBoer would kill any shot at that.

I've heard from other Pens fans that Guerin has a bit too much pull and is too close to the vets on the team. Just what I heard. Brother is a Pens fan.

Just gimme Ricci's ugly mug in a nice suit to look at.

Guerin is great with the kids though.

DW said the they expect to be a playoff team next season & DeBoer can probably get them there.

I worry much more about how he'd handle guys like Tierney, Hertl, Dillon, etc. as he doesn't tend to put young players in good situations and seems to put them on a short leash.

Watching the Playoffs, every team minus CHI (who have all been there, done that) are trusting their youth in all situations & in important minutes, that's a trend I'd like to see this org follow.

 

[T0uGh C0oki3]

Hire Bylsma as HC, hire some quality coach in the juniors as assistant.

That will teach the kids.

Example :

Bylsma : HC

Dave Lowry : Assistant Coach

Travis Green : Assistant Coach

HM goes to Benoit Groulx

Like half the teams in the league. Difference between where they're at and the youngest is one year on average. Don't think that matters much.

 

[Helistin]

While the Sharks have stated that they want to be young, they are still a fairly old team.

Sharks players average age is 14th youngest in the league. So I guess one can say they are fairly old team. One could also say they are fairly young team or even more accurately fairly average aged team.

The only thing good about DeBoer, is his fore-checking system.

(Call me a fool all you want ............
We all know that no one can win a cup with a roster like that. )

There is no telling if his fore-checking would elevate us, but I am willing to take a gamble.

I think DeBoer still have what it takes to be an assistant coach.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Take Marleau and Thornton off the team and Torres is the oldest.

 

[Mach12]

DeBoer is terrible and was happily ruining Larsson before he got canned. Him and Oates are awful.

Should just go with a fresh coach. Give the job to Lowry.

 

[Shark Finn]

I just want a coach who gives the young guys a shot and doesn't play some damn veteran over a young player when the young player is clearly better. Also I'd like to see some wins.

 

[Bleedred]

DeBoer's system is also prone to multi goal leads. Happened in both Florida and New Jersey.

Trust me, you do not want him.
