Literally anybody. If you honestly believe this guy hasnt had a big hand in this team being god awful and that hes the right coach for this team you are just 100% wrong.
If Berube is fired, who would you like to see behind the Flyers bench?

Great post. 100% agree.
For our situation we need a coach that will teach D first system. Build it from the goalie out through the D. Then let our Fwds work more through the cycling game. That will make for a successful pick possession team.
Then, way down the line, we can look at getting a offensive coach applied to a team and players that know how to play D already like lavi.
We need a hitch esk coach here now.

Also when asked if he's still of mind that this players fault and not his head coach, Hextall said, "Yes. Absolutely." So Berube is safe?

Well the season is on the players, that doesn't mean that Berube is coming back. Hextall is just saying that he doesn't blame Berube for what's happening right now.
Berube is a ****ing idiot and a horrible coach, but he's not the sole reason they're horrible right now, the defense is so bad even a good coach wouldn't be able to do much. It's not like Hextall is going to come out and say that Berube is the problem, he's going to hold the players accountable even though he probably realizes that Berube is a huge problem too.

Agreed. Anything else tells the players they can stop taking the lame duck seriously, and that's not good for anyone.

yeah I agree. Hextall isn't going to throw his coach under the bus publicly. he is just doing a typical dance with the media saying everyone needs to be better ect ect.
I have a feeling that if he's still unemployed during the off-season, Carlyle will be this team's new coach

The only thing I like about Torts is how he holds players accountable, although sometimes he goes off on them. I wouldn't mind Berube back as an assistant, if thats possible, the players seem to like him.
Flyers actually have some decent options out there for coaches.
Carlyle,Maclean,Torts,K Dineen, Blysma. All have decent track records if Hextall were to have the courage to make a move. Thinking we should continue with the drive for Mcdavid so i'm perfectly fine with keeping Berube until the end of the season (why ruin a good thing lol)

Actually Deboer might be a hell of a coach as well the job he did against us in the playoffs couple seasons ago was fantastic. No one could coach that terrible Devils lineup imo. Wouldn't be surprised if the Leafs picked him up

There are a lot of options but Tocchet is the logical choice. Laperriere needs more time and Riley Cote isn't even the Phantoms coach yet but could be a great assistant. Next hire Shelley as the phantoms coach, promote Rosehill to player/assistant coach and bring in Brashear as another assistant. That ensures the pipeline of future coaches is fully stocked for years to come.
Obviously this has to happen quickly as teams will be lining up for these guys as coaching spots become available.

I heard that as well, they mentioned how he was terrible with matchups/used players wrong. Although he didn't really have any offensive players to work with. I'd like the guy just for his mustache though. Same with Guy Boucher's scar.

I didn't like his late 2nd period use of McDavid (despite penalties he could have gotten at least one or two more shifts), nor his choice nor deployment of D, but Groulx will be an nhl coach soon.

Berube deserves love and respect in philly. The guy played hard,fought hard for his team. Then he gets into coaching. Spends time in the ahl. But now is not the time to groom his as a potential good nhl coach. He learned stuff, from guys like Hitchcock and sutter. We have a fair sized window to get a championship team back to philly. Don't want to see him end up like Santa clause and get booed in philly. We deserve a good coach and he deserves better as well.
I'm all for not giving the guy that treatment but is he really starting Rinaldo on the first line?

I expect a more defensive minded/balanced approach because of our major question marks on defense. Here's hoping Arizona lets go of Tippett.

No to MacLean, what has he really done besides the one year when they got unbelievable goaltending.
No to Bylsma, have seen him get out-coached by Berube and in the Olympics too much.
No to Torts, I think they players here would get fed up with him before they really had a chance to compete. He is the definition of a coach with a shelf life.
Not really sure about Carlyle, seems like no coach can get it going in Toronto but was solid in Anaheim.
DeBoer is an interesting name. He coached well against us a few years ago when the Devils made that run and he seems to get a good bit out of his players. No coach is going to win when 3 of your top forwards are Jagr, Gomez and Elias.
I think it would be best to wait for the offseason and possibly make a run at Babcock with DeBoer and Carlyle as potential backups. Money talks when trying to get Babcock (Snider has deep pockets) and maybe he'd embrace a team that is willing to spend money and has a solid d prospect core and some good pieces to start with upfront in G, Jake, Coots and Simmer.
