How long will David Quinn be coach?

[pappaf2]

How long does he last? I know the sharks need to be be terrible but if they continue to be this bad do MGGM and Hasso pull the plug?

He's been doing a great job as tank commander so hopefully for a while.

 

[Mafoofoo]

I’d say just on optics alone if the Sharks don’t have any wins by Thanksgiving he’s gone

 

[one2gamble]

He won't make it through the end of the year

 

[Skeksis25]

No matter who is the coach, they are going to be a lame duck, transitional guy until we actually can field a competitive team anyway. Coaches don't last long in this league. I guess it would be cathartic to scapegoat Quinn and get rid of him, but its not going to accomplish anything really. I don't care either way.

He's under contract for this year and next and I'm fine with just running out his contract while accumulating pieces and then try to find the long term guy in 2025.

 

[OrrNumber4]

He needs to go now. This record is an absolute embarrassment; the actual record isn't too different from what I was expecting, but the team is worse than the sum of its parts. There is no fight, no chemistry, no effort from anybody. They've resigned themselves to being a basement team, and I can't stand it.

I mean, what even is the system?

 

[exchequer]

I can't help but think he'll get the hook if they lose another 3-4 games straight. That would put the Sharks in record holding territory with a 0-13-1 record. And if it were to get worse, there is no way he would survive a 0-20-1 start.

 

[OffSydes]

He is here to tank and is doing his job well

 

[Kat Predator]

Who would sign up for the job given this roster? I can't see a lot of people stoked to work hard polishing this "stuff" when they know going in there is no chance of success or a future.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

He had no expectations going into the year, so I'd assume it's after the season ends.

 

[Anomie2029]

He should be fired immediately. He has had enough time with this team to show some kind of redeeming quality. There is absolutely none.

The defensive zone ‘zone defence’ system doesn’t work with this team, and is why they look like they’re constantly on the kill. Offence is just non-existent outside of some individual good play from the likes of Eklund (pity Quinn anchors him with Kunin).

We are being forced to watch Vlasic, Ferraro, Benning, and Rutta consistently be awful but still get played over Knyzhov or Thrun.

The team is f***ing awful, so I’d rather have rookies make a couple of mistakes they can learn from rather than have them in the press box or stuck with the Cuda (who are almost as big of an embarrassment as the sharks).

Most of what you mentioned as negatives are not even in Quinn's control.

 

[Munnyro]

Everyone knows his given a bad team. Not a surprise we're terrible, however no team should be this indifferent.

This level of trash can permanently turn away fans.

 

[StanleyCup2035]

Him and Grier are superb tank commanders!! DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. Have Ryan Warsofsky take over as HC once we get Celebrini/Eiserman this year and Missa/Hagens next year!

Two college players will definitely want to come to the club getting pumped 8-10 goals and not winning a game…

It’d be the Sharks’ luck that they finally get a first overall only for him to stay in college until he can choose where he wants to sign.

Which parts?

Defensive and offensive zone systems - strictly a coaching decision.

Lineup decisions and lines - strictly a coaches decision.

Sending Bordeleau and Thrun to a shithouse AHL team - technically that’s Grier move but it’s based on Quinn’s direction.

This is a historically badly performing team, it is not a historically bad roster (it’s a bad roster for sure though.

Score goal.

Score goal.

What even is goal

Fans weren't showing up anyway. The only way to get them back is by going through this exact process and (hopefully) getting elite players at the top of the draft.

This poll is ridiculous. Quinn isn't going anywhere. Have some patience.

 

[KarlssonsGroin]

If you voted yes to this season, who do you want to replace him, and just how different do you expect the results to be.

we have zero (0) top 4 dmen, and 1 (Ferraro) top 6 on a decent team. Thurn excluded due to the numbers game.

The yes is not "should" he get fired it's "will". I think he'll get fired this season but I don't think any other coach is going to make this team better than a bottom 3 team.

His dad works for the Warriors and he's from the Area and a former Jr. Shark.

This poll isn’t about what people on the forum want, it’s about what we think Ownership and Management will do with Quinn after losing 10 in a row and looking terrible doing it. Like it or not, sports teams/franchises don’t always make the “right” decision.

IMO that's even sillier. Grier and Quinn are extremely tight and they both knew this team was going to stink. It would take some sort of off-ice scandal for Quinn not to at least finish his 3-year contract with the Sharks.

It also just looks really bad on the GM/front office/ownership to fire a coach after one season and change especially when the roster is this bad and expectations of success are nonexistent.
