Whoa. Fascinated to see what Murray as a coach will look like

 

[anezthes]

Eh... OK?

 

[ChaseANA]

Lol Murray behind the bench will be hilarious. So ready for his disgusted facial expressions.

 

[mightyquack]

Hahahaha. f***ing hell.

We fire RC and become an even bigger gong show, amazing.

 

[gilfaizon]

Murray LOLLL

 

[Frosted Tips]

Does Murray have any experience in coaching? I don't see anything in his Elite Prospects profile.

I have to think he will be watching from the bench, but let the assistants do a lot of the "coaching".

 

[DigiDuck]

This is the weirdest episode of Undercover Boss ever. But yay?

EDIT: Im just going to assume RC and BM will have walkie talkies on hand so Randy can still coach from his couch.

 

[snarktacular]

Murray? How can he coach from Europe?

Brian Murray has done this before, but he's coached before. Why not just let the assistants do it?

 

[bsu]

I can watch a game again. Murray HC? LMAO

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Hopefully we can hire Rickard Grönberg. That’s a name I would love.

GM as coach seems like a spectacularly bad idea. You’re mixing management with leadership in a way that shouldn’t be mixed. You don’t want the guy giving locker room speeches to be the guy doing contract negotiations.

Just make an assistant the interim or something

 

[KelVarnsen]

RC gone is great but Murray as a coach makes the Ducks look like a joke.

 

[Frosted Tips]

Murray? How can he coach from Europe?

I think I read somewhere that he returned something like yesterday? Might be that it's just my imagination too.

 

[PaddyMcStackin]

I hear Bruce Boudreau might be available?

 

[Ducks DVM]

BM can’t coach, but neither could RC


This is three things :
1 - no coaches available on the market right now and leave San Diego alone
2- too cheap to pay two coaches
3 - Murray gets to watch the players in person and see who isn't trying. Don't try, get traded.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

This leads a lot of credence to a few theories, like Bob not wanting to mess up San Diego being a factor(well Dregs confirmed that) and that paying two coaches was a factor.

Kind of glad Bob's the interim coach as I was always afraid of an interim coach catching fire and possibly keeping the job. Won't happen now, and will definitely be interesting to watch.

 

[bumperkisser]

Lmao this is hilarious. BM as head coach?

Maybe this is so he can ensure the stealth tank continues

 

[Dryish]

Tank Commander Bob Murray finally assuming his true rightful position. Chugga chugga straight down to Hughestown.

 

[branmuffin17]

Holy WTF? I can't believe it.

Seriously really really really really interested to see BM behind the bench. I mean, I was watching the games before this (even though it was killing me softly with each game), but now I'm REALLY going to watch the game. Or maybe it's more accurate to say I'll be watching the bench. LOL.

I tend to agree with this. It just feels like a weird vibe to have in a locker room.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Wot?

Edit: we should have a poll up about whether we continue to suck or start winning again.. This is so weird.

 

[Static]

Holy shit this is incredible. Has Murray ever coached on any level? I can't wait for the after-game scrums.

This is insane, but I love it. The players are all going to be gripping their sticks hard enough to snap them.
