First Time I've Ever Noticed a Shark Coach Listed as...

[weastern bias]

It's strange to think, but Todd is the most tenured coach in Sharks history

I think his track record of regular season success will give him a longer rope than many coaches, but I think it'll only take missing the playoffs once to see him gone

If it's this year, I doubt Doug will think twice about going in a new direction

The team fired Ron Wilson who had relatively similar success here.

Yea but he's a jerk.

Yea but he's a jerk.

He also wasn't DW's guy initially so that's what will allow more rope to Todd.

The system isn't working with these clowns. Todd is about the only one in the organization without a NTC... do something before the entire year is wasted and our vets are a year older.

If we rattle off a large losing streak it'll be interesting to see of DW throws Tmac under the bus. I think our current issues are 99-100% roster make-up and management's mixed messages and meddling.

Roster is a big part of the struggles, but I have to think some of it is coaching. Not that Todd is bad but I wonder what it's like to go back to work for someone who was at the helm of one of the worst defeats in your life with little change. I can't imagine it feels good.

I agree but if that's truly the case that nothing else substantive can be done, then I fault DW for giving dumb and dumber NTCs. DW made his bed, let him lie in it.

Yeah you're right.

Honestly I could get behind a large scale "cleansing" of this organIzation.

I think McLellan is OK as a coach.
However, a more discipline oriented coach could make it easier to make changes in the line up and get some players to ask to be moved.

I would trade him if the Sharks could get a good pick for him. Is it possible to trade coaches? Or can they only be fired? Maybe take a pick to fire him?

No more pawns. Cut the head off the snake.

Burns will be disappointed.
