King should have been sent away as well

I wonder about Jimmy Waite. He hasn't had much to work with recently so hard to judge his performance

I imagine it will be up to new coach on his status

 

[Giovi]

I thought both Cookson and Crawfords' contracts were up but apparently Crawford still had a year left.

King has to go too!

King has to go too!

The fact that King's release didn't happen at the same time makes me nervous. If I had to lay odds of him staying, I would say it is 50-50.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Davidson has already said they aren't rushing things with the coaching decision and that they'd allow King to be interviewed for it when the time comes later this summer. Firing him now would go against that.

OK, good.

King is an idiot, if he is still a coach of any sort with the hawks next season Kyle Davidson if a failure and should be fired immediately. King is terrible

LOL, even allowing him to interview for the job is a major mistake IMO

 

[Styles]

King got a one year try out. No point in an interview.

 

[CanadianHawks]

Have to imagine King is still to come

 

[Marotte Marauder]

Thought this might go here??

Does Stan still have a piece of Tri City Storm?

 

[AmericanDream]

I would say the writing is on the wall for King. Out of respect for him jumping in as interim coach, no reason to say he won't be back. Let them do their interviews etc, we all know it won't be him, all they will need to announce is who the next head coach will be and thank King for his time here as well when that happens next few weeks.

 

[feichter33]

Yea, no surprise. We need a professional. I appreciate King but this was a development chance for him too. With the torch being passed to someone else it is only logical for them to install a new bench crew.

 

[Chuck Testa]

I’ve said it countless times already.

Clean house.

 

[Pertti]

We are already paying for King, it will be King.

Same dance we had with Davidson.

What is the ideal type of coach you'd want on your team when you're doing a tear down rebuild?

Since we are still tearing down……King.

He’d probably have a stroke the second someone even thought about attempting a Michigan goal.

I think you bring in a HC who can provide valuable input to Davidson and one who can develop young players.

Not sure if King is the guy for that. Doesn't make sense to throw away a whole year just for slightly higher draft picks, IMO.

You're not sure if King is the guy for that? Lol. He's absolutely not the guy for that. Rockford IMPROVED when he got "promoted" to coach the Blackhawks. Let that sink in. If he cannot be that guy in Rockford, he absolutely cannot be that guy in Chicago.

DAVID QUINN

Ok, I'll bite. Why are you such a big fan of Quinn?
