I don't think he's an awful coach, and he hasn't got very much to work with in certain areas; but he's had a decent tenure as our coach and hasn't been able to get very much out of our roster over the last few years.
Things aren't necessarily his fault, but it feels like we're going nowhere and completely directionless, we're completely mediocre and there are few signs that this current regime has what it takes to turn it around. Maybe a new coach wouldn't be able to improve results either, but i think it's time to try something new, PDB has had plenty of time to demonstrate a glimmer of improvement or at least something to inspire confidence that we're moving in a positive direction and he hasn't managed to do it.
We just need a shake up, it isn't all the coaches fault, but something has to change if we want to at least try to improve rather than running in place for yet another season. Even if the wheels fall off i'd like to see us try to do something than watch this same stagnant and disappointing team play uninspired hockey for another 60 games.

That's pretty much how I feel as well. I've been one of Pete's defenders for a long time, but I think it's time for a change. I don't think we're going to turn into a playoff team with a different coach, but I agree the team has gotten pretty stale and needs something different.

Worn out his welcome. Team has checked out. We need a shake up. Anyone will do. Mail your application to Prudential Center with resume and references.
could just rewind to last season and insert the same quotes from similar times in terms of how the team is doing.

62-57-30 since the finals appearance. 62 wins in our last 149 games is absolutely unacceptable....

Have never particularly cared for him.
I think it's very possible that we could have missed the playoffs in 2013 and last year, even with Kovy, Parise, and a good goaltender. I think it's possible we could have easily missed in 11-12 if we didn't get hot at the right time.

This says it all right here. These are expansion team numbers were looking at. Utterly putrid from top to bottom.

I put together a list of total wins since 12-13 and we're fourth worst in the league since then at 62 wins. Indefensible and inexcusable. It starts from the top down.

I think if we don't make playoffs this season, he will be gone. Lou maybe too.
Come the end of the season, the new ownership would have a true grasp of what state this franchise is in (on the ice) and methinks a decision will be made to go in another direction.

not really thrilled with ownership either, well aside from the whole actually having money thing. but they came in, ditched the goal song for Bon Jovi, then that awful SNA and now the even more horrendous fan made one. the whole "we're all devils inside" thing is dumb, the "enhancing gameday experience" schtick is a dud(pro tip: enhancing the gameday experience starts with putting a team people enjoying watching out there, not slugs who cant score)
although i can forgive those trivial things if they wake up and realize this organization is slowly but surely circling the drain.

i feel the same way. i think with a decent team he is a good coach. that being said i think the next 4-5 games better produce at least 6 points or he is gone.
if they **** the bed here on this western trip he is finished in my opinion... which means nothing

What gives you the faith to think that Lou would actually do this?
As much as I want Pete gone ASAP if we continue to sink, old Lou who wouldn't put up with this(even tho he is as much to blame with this putrid roster outside of several players), new Lou hasn't shown any signs of changing things up

I agree. The amount of times I've seen here "Pete doing x is a fireable offence" is outstanding given that he's yet to be fired. I want him gone as much as the next guy here but all of our opinions don't matter, it comes down to Lou. He's shown to have a very long leash for Pete, what's his cracking point though? Maybe he's accepted this roster is mediocre anyway and a new coach can only help so much, but in the end it's still not a good team.

I'm not sold that a new coach would be able to make much of a difference but here are a few things that annoy me about Pete.
1. Reliance on vets when everyone and their mother can see others should get a shot. Here's looking at you Gio, Sal, Bernier, etc.
2. He NEVER calls a time out at the right time. Opponent scores two quick goals and we are hemmed in? You better believe 9/10 coaches are calling a time out.
3. His use of Schneider this year has really frustrated me. There's no reason why we are a quarter of the way into the season (holy cow) and Schneider has started 20 games in a row. That's poor lineup management.

You're ruining the fun now. I always love seeing the "6pts in the next 4 games needed to save his job" posts. It's great humor. He's not going anywhere.
