New Head Coach search

[Unknown Caller]

No surprise Sullivan is staying in Pittsburgh, exactly why it was a waste of time talking about him for months. Evason should be the guy.

What's your problem with Zajac?

 

[Bleedred]

I’ll take McLellan, just as the bargaining chip to flush Travis Green down the toilet.

I hope he doesn’t plan to play that 1-3-1 shit the Kings were playing, which they’re still playing under Jonas Hiller.

The Sharks and Oilers didn’t play like that when he coached there. The Sharks played similar to a DeBoer team, which is why DeBoer was a pretty easy transition when they hired him right after they parted with McLellan.

So if Tampa or Dallas gets swept who thinks PDB and/or Cooper will be getting canned?

I actually would welcome a PDB reunion.

Firing Cooper would be the dumbest thing that franchise has ever done.

 

[ZYXWVUT]

Neither of those guys are getting canned. Pete is in his second year. If it was a year or two more, I could see it.

Cooper will not get canned. He is not coming here. Dream on.

[Bleedred]

Cooper won't get canned.

Pete also PROBABLY won't.

 

[NJDevs26]

Yeah Cooper's more of a pipedream than Sullivan was, and I figured that was a pipedream too. The only realistic way he'd come is if he ran down his contract and walked away now that they're on the other side of the mountain. I don't know how long he's signed for currently though.

Apparently next year is the last year of his contract based on preliminary research...oh well lol

So we really have no coaching candidates?

Either Fitz is really keeping a tight lid, all his candidates are in the playoffs or he’s just waiting for the world’s quietest Friday afternoon to dump ‘Green signs as permanent coach’ on our doorstep along with some early Christmas coal

 

[MadDevil]

It's been 10 days since our last game of the season. I wouldn't expect to hear much this soon, especially if he is actually going to cast a wider net.

It’s the playoffs so most reporters probably aren’t chasing stories down right now.



I think is more Strickland’s opinion than anything though.

 

[JimEIV]

Wrong thread.

 

[Kaners PPGs]

I want you guys to get David Carle.

We’ll get Travis Green because he has (bad) experience and you’ll love it and so will we!

 

[longislanddevil]

What can you guys tell me about Dean Evason as far as the system he likes to employ and the kind of coach he is? If he’s a bit of a hardass, I’m intrigued….

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Look at that glorious beard.

I'd be more than fine with him if he can coach offense.

I'd rather him than Berube.

I’d be better than any of them.

 

[ZYXWVUT]

The one thing about Evason I didn’t realize. His points percentage over the time behind the bench for minny was .639. Around 250 game sample size which isn’t crazy high but also nothing near minuscule.
