Proposal: Bring back Coach Q

[TheDizee]

We need a coach and Bannister is not it. We can debate it forever whether firing Berube was the right move (it wasn't), but what is done is done. It is time for Coach Q to return to the NHL and lead this franchise towards a new strong WINNING era of hockey.

Would

 

[Blueston]

Q isn’t eligible to coach in league at present. Nor should he be. He has never taken any responsibility for his role in covering up sexual assault of one of his players. I don’t want anything to do with him.

Hard pass

 

[BrokenFace]

Sorry but Q is currently taking the maximum blame and punishment for the Beach situation so that no one can blame the Blackhawks as an organization. Just in terms of hockey, he's a guy I'd be interested in if we were closer to contending, but it's gonna take a lot for him to get another NHL coaching gig.

Unless the Blackhawks want him back. Then the league will quickly determine he has served more than enough time and is completely reformed.

 

[STL fan in MN]

Maybe wait a day for this discussion…

But by and large I agree with Blueston. Don’t see why Bettman and the NHL would want to open that can of worms.

But interested to hear this interview.

 

[PocketNines]

Absolutely f***ing not.

The man is a piece of shit.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I'm fine with going after a new coach. But absolutely no thank you to Coach Q. Anyone who turns a blind eye to s. assault should be blacklisted forever.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Less than zero interest in bringing that circus to town.

 

[Stealth JD]

No interest in Quenneville. He wore out his welcome and would represent only nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia.

 

[Mike Liut]

Is Scottie Bowman not available?

 

[Eldon Reid]

Give me Gallant if you want an older coach. Younger coach not sure yet who I would pick.

 

[Celtic Note]

This is one of the most asinine things I have read on this board.

 

[mk80]

Absolutely not!

Even if Gary Bettman lifted the ban on Joel Quenneville, I would not want the Blues to be the team to bring him back into the league. And there are tons of better coaches out there than a guy like this anyway.

Give me Gallant if you want an older coach. Younger coach not sure yet who I would pick.

I assume that Armstrong will want some NHL or at least AHL experience on the resume, but a young candidate exists in Denver University's David Carle, who has put together quite a resume in NCAA, and World Juniors.



He was an assistant under Jim Montgomery and took over as HC when Montgomery got hired by Dallas. Not saying he's the guy to go with but it could be an interesting route to take in hiring a young guy that is having success with players in the same age range as our prospects, and Armstrong has talked about the need to connect with the younger players of today's game.

your zipper is open we can see your nuts

 

[Spektre]

That ship has sailed

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

I think there's a better chance of getting either of Scotty Bowman or Herb Brooks.

Q is not how you spell Berube, ese.

And I thought some of my posts were bad, good lord dude.

Not that I want Q back but why is he the only one taking blame and responsibility for what happened? Toews, kane, The entire Hawks franchise are all skating scott free but Q has to suffer because?

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Sweet, bring back Q, then we can try to sign Mitchell Miller to shore up the backend while we’re at it.

I think all of the Blackhawks management and coaches who covered it up should be blacklisted from hockey.

 

[PocketNines]

Andy Strickland and his podcast are like if the jerking off motion were both a person and a podcast. In no way does it surprise me that Andy Strickland is helping rehabilitate a moral failure

 

[Oberyn]

Yeah and lets get P Diddy as our assistant coach while we're at it

 

[GoldenSeal]

Sweet, bring back Q, then we can try to sign Mitchell Miller to shore up the backend while we’re at it.

Mitchell Miller is a goddamn waste and that really upsets me. Got the skills to be great and absolutely no character and integrity whatsoever.

Q is being scapegoated but then you got to think for a bit how much blood he might actually have in all of that, probably more than you’d think.

Just all wastes.
