Carlyle fired, Murray to assume HC position

[darkwingduck]

We're so close to a top 3 pick, I don't want some guy trying to win the HC job ala Jason Garrett.

 

[Dirk316]

Goes to show that it is pityful how you can still try to come up with excuses for Carlyle time and again, when the whole world has long since figured out he's a fossil that never should have been kept around in the NHL for half a decade in the first place.

I blamed them both buts its pitiful how you can blame solely Carlyle and not the architect of this team
And Carlyle was the franchises most successful coach and that is not a debate

 

[pbgoalie]

Screams cheap......
Samuelis probably told BM they were not hiring another coach while randy was under contract.

So coming into one of the most important trade deadlines we have faced, our GM now has put WAY more on his plate.

Do you also think Steve Kerr is the best coach of all time?

 

[dracom]

Had to do it before we lost 20 I guess. Absolutely ridiculous it took this long

 

[duckaroosky]

I convinced myself this wasn't ever going to happen so not sure how to act...

 

[JohnnyDrama]

This goes to show all along this was not the type of team Carlyle wanted and was forced to ice.

All this shows is what we already knew, that Carlyle was gifted one of the best rosters of all time in 2007 but is a terrible coach and always has been

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

It's just really funny because hes never coached, and he's never really been in the spotlight. Now we will get daily quotes.

Oh, absolutely, I'm excited for that. Definitely gonna be funny to see him on the bench.

 

[Terry Yake]

its ******* incredible how cheap ownership is

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Any word on that front office position? Or is he quietly shelving that plan until the summer where he can slide him back into the fold quietly.

Where and when did this come up? I’ve seen posters say this for a while now. Was the plan to move him to an upper executive position after this season?

 

[terranraida]

It's a beautiful mooooooorning!

Carlyle has also coached the 3 longest losing streaks in franchise history, and that is not a debate.

 

[Unholy]

its ******* incredible how cheap ownership is

As long as the team makes the playoffs every other year all is fine for them

That's not right, he was pretty much a perfect fit for what that roster was and absolutely contributed. He's just a guy whose message can quickly wear thin(especially nowadays) and some of his tactics just don't work as well as they used to. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Trojans86]

I bet Getzlaf and Perry orchestrated this whole thing and when they asked to fire RC Bob said they didnt have a replacement yet and they wanted to let the kids develop in SD with Eakins. Getz and Perry probably just said they would be fine running things with the Assistants and putting Bob on the bench is a formality and allows Bob to assess how to handle the rebuild.

 

[DavidBL]

I think BM taking over is all about getting a first hand look at his players so he can decide who needs to go. This may actually help him on TDL.

 

[TesseracT]

I think something was up with Carlyle. This 2 month skid was either player mutiny or something wrong with Carlyle. There's no way he just forgot how to coach for 2 months. I wish him the best.

 

[kducks]

This is such a BM move. Happy Carlyle is finally gone but good God...

 

[bsu]

BM will age 5 years from this short coaching stint

he never knew how to coach

RC sucks the life out of his players and should have been fired after last year's sweep against SJ

Agreed. It had to be done and I'm glad he's gone, but I'm willing to leave it at that.

Good luck out there, RC.

 

[duckhead32686]

Why wasn’t this done in the summer? Why wasn’t this done in December? Why wasn’t this done during the All star break?

 

[Opak]

Like LeBrun tweeted, Bob had hoped to ride it out until next offseason, but this 21 game stretch was too much even for him.

Whether Bob was right in that assessment to begin with, that's another discussion entirely.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

If you want something done right...

Yea you could definitely say he was better suited for the game back then but I just don’t agree he’s a good coach, his teams get consistently outshot, out-chanced, outpossessed, etc
