JM was a very good tactical coach and still is,...But likely couldnt be bothered to become a HC this late in his career ,more specifically here in the worst posting in the NHL
A challenge is a yong team like us with a management and ownership group that wants to be successful.
This is an organization in which management and ownership actively sabotage the team.
No reputable coach will come here if they have anything close to other options.
And what have you seen in the last few years to give you any indication coaches aren’t micromanaged to the point they are ineffective here?Sorry, I disagree. No way a coach doesn't accept an offer if he is given the latitude to coach his style.
Need this guy back too
You are allowed to be cynical but in reality there are only 32 head coaching jobs in the NHL period - if you are not one now (and want to be one ) and are asked to take one of these jobs you do it. No matter how poorly the team you are going to is run. Now if Jacques doesn't want to be a head coach anymore that is a different matter.
That is such a bad attitude. A good coach would like to get in on some of these good prospects. Good coaches want a challenge, not a walk in the park.
You think if someone like Quennville was approached by the Sens with their shitty contract offer and bottom-feeding roster, he would just take the job out of desperation.Sorry, I disagree. No way a coach doesn't accept an offer if he is given the latitude to coach his style.

Iam only going on what I think I heard about JM ,I remember hearing something about him being very happy and content where he was ,and that at his age he no longer wanted a HC job and wasnt taking interviewsThis.
Unless there are monetary or family factors (not wanting to move), a guy like Martin isn't turning down another head coaching gig.
He's the exact type of veteran coach we'd get. With all due respect to him, one who isn't in demand for a HC gig else where.
There's nothing to lose for him. He's a known quantity and will always have a job as an assistant coach somewhere.
i actually laughed so hard at this haha
And that's one of the reasons he will not be hired.I know young guys like Keefe will be suggested, but the problem with rookie coaches is that they don't have the experience or respect yet to stand up to Dorion and Melnyk.
Martin does. And we need that badly.
He is coaching a womans hockey team....And we need a head coach
Can we go back to the 2D logo too if were getting Martin? And black jerseys?
Let's reset to factory default settings.
JM was a pretty stubborn SOB too in his time here & wouldn't change his systems or style even though the stinking Leafs kept eating his lunch.JM was a very good tactical coach and still is,...But likely couldnt be bothered to become a HC this late in his career ,more specifically here in the worst posting in the NHL
Hiring Jacques would be a sad and desperate attempt to escape reality and step back into the Golden Age of the Franchise.
Let's do it.
Alexei Yashin becoming our head coach would be a perfect circle of ****ery.
