Two offseasons ago right after he was let go of the Flyers, I really wanted the Wild to hire Laviolette and get rid of Yeo. Of course this was after the Wild had just won their first playoff series in how many years so it really wasn't going to happen. If only...

I've seen Todd Richards' name come up a few times. Having seen as many of Columbus' games as I have, I feel I can safely say that Leipold/Fletcher would be insane to bring him back here. Again, like Yeo, he's not a "bad" coach (he also happens to be a great guy), but if you think Yeo defers to veterans and is more concerned with making the players happy than actually winning games....... well, let's just say Columbus fired Richards and replaced him with John "Drill Sergeant Mary Poppins" Tortorella for a reason. Seriously, go over to their board and search "country club atmosphere". Actually, no, don't, your browser will explode.
I can't believe people are suggesting we should bring Todd Richards back! Why in God's name would we want him back? Stop with the young, relatively inexperienced coaches who defer to veterans. I know this forum hates Carlyle but at least hire him before Richards!

Dear god no!
Ron Wilson or Guy Boucher would be my choices now. But that could change in the off season!
I don't get why the wild generally have pretty good starts to the season and then fail halfway through the year. Gotta be the coaching. Let's let Someone else have a shot at coaching this team and see if it's truly coaching or players. Parise was trying to take a proactive approach to the PP and have the coaches done anything to improve it or make proper changes? Nope.
I guess I would be fine with Walz to finish the season and then see who is available this off season. I would guess Therien would be available this off season Hitchcock also? either of those names intrigue anyone?
So you want Walz, who is a HS coach of a team that is doing worse than the Wild, to be our coach? Look , I think he's an insightful TV analyst and seems to be a nice guy, but doesn't he have to, you know, be able to coach a bit? Or will he be like Trump and hire people that know how to coach?
Lucia? Really?
Lucia? Really?
Interim coach wouldnt be bad for 30 games, I think he would be better than anyone on this current staff then you can see who is available during the off season!
he was a assistant coach in the league you know?? Just cause he is coaching a high school team doesnt mean he isnt qualified
So if the Wild lay an egg the next 2 road games do you guys feel it could be possible that a coaching change is made after Saturday? there would be 3 days off then a home game? What percent do you put a coaching change at before Tuesday if they lose the next 2 games?

I wouldnt mind Walz.
Walz can fall back on. I had speed i could score in junior. It wasnt until i busted my butt playing D that i made a name in the NHL.
Show a few clips of him in Floppers face getting roughed up and keep ticking. No one can argue with him when he demands more hustle or intensity. He did it.
He could be respected by the vets for having been an NHLer and a PINTA to play against and can bring some wisdom for guys like Haula and Graovac about what it means to find a niche and succeed that way.

Eh. I feel like that's Yeo's way of saying instead of looking for outside help like in year's past, it's time to dig deep and win from within. What else do you expect him to say at this point? "I suck, we suck, everything sucks"?

I want nothing to do with either of these coaches nor do I want Richards back. Boudreau would likely be available this offseason. He would be who I would target. It's not his fault Murray bled away all of his forwards.

i think a bunch of us wanted him because he had a reputation as an offensive minded coach. We were hoping for exciting hockey. Moot point now...

Yeo wasn't canned last year so he will last the year. Fletcher wouldn't do it anytime soon. Unless they fell way out of playoff contention and a change was inevitable. They are still right in the hunt in his mind, or that's what he is selling to Leipold.

We have just about the same amount of goals per game as Nashville and they also almost got shut out for five straight games. Just sayin.
