New Head Coach search

[NJDevs26]

Win or be fired as a teaser would certainly juice up the ratings for Game 7 in a reality TV world!

 

[Rhodes 81]

Don't really think any of the guys still coaching at this point are at risk.

 

[Guadana]

Looks like at least one Keene or Montgomery could be fired. If Sullivan or Rod would not be available, I will be good with Keene or Montgomery.

Anything is better than Travis Green.

I don’t think McLellan will make us considerably worse. Travis Green sure did/will.

I just hope he doesn’t have us playing like LA this year though. Who are still playing like that since he left. That 1-3-1.

He didn’t have the Sharks playing that way.

I think I would accept him after having to suffer through Travis Green.

McLellan? Could be worse I guess. LA was pretty great net on the rush versus defending on the rush.

at this point if McLellan keeps the job the hell away from Green, I suppose I would be ok with it.

 

[Call Me Al]

you know travis green is bad when bleedred is serene about todd McLellan in comparison

 

[guitarguyvic]

McClellan? Do we really need another guy who’s been coaching for forever but hasn’t actually won a championship?

This team desperately needs a proven winner, I don’t care if it was in a different league or whatever.

 

[njdevil26]

I’m not sure I’d consider that more smoke. If anything, Emily threw a little water on the fire; however, I think the one thing that is very clear: if Sullivan does leave/resign/get fired, he will be the Devils next coach if the position is still open.

So besides Marek's comments about tampering...

Sullivan is under contract and it sounds like Dubas wants to keep him. I don't see any way he leaves Pitt unless he knows he's got the Devils job... and the implied tampering there is absolutely insane.

A reporter asked then reported a few days ago that Sullivan has not been given permission to talk to the Devils.

I wonder if there's a scenario where Dubas and Fitz talk and Pitt gets some kind of compensation for Sullivan leaving there and joining us? Is that even possible/allowed?

That's what I'm saying, yet when I put how I was on a tournament winning atom team on my resume suddenly that's not good enough for Fitz.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

More smoke

Has anyone ever seen Patton Oswalt and Greg Wyshynski in the same room before?

 

[NjDevsRR]

I don't want him either, but McLellan won an AHL championship in 2003.

Fairly certain it isn't even allowed anymore in any way, shape or form.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Mclellan seemed to be ok before, but seems to have lost his touch, or was it not his fault

 

[NJDevs26]

Travis Green has a WHL championship lol

 

[NJDevs26]

I thought this wasn’t allowed?

 

[Bcap88]

Sounds like the whole beef between Sullivan and dubas was regarding assistant coaches and dubas wanted new ones and Sullivan wanted to stay loyal to his guys

Seems like Sullivan caved

 

[Mgd31]

Looks like Dubas is calling Sullivan's bluff. Sullivan didn't want his assistants to be fired.

 

[Bcap88]

Maybe not

 

[Nubmer6]

So... Does that mean that if we manage to get Sullivan, Reirden comes with him? Any thoughts on him?

 

[Cheddabombs]

I thought this wasn’t allowed?

That's Travis Green's music!! Go get that job, Travis!

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Confused by what is possible here re: compensation and the details of this assistant coach issue, but it seems like Sullivan would lose any power struggle with Dubas and if it's happening, and it's not a situation where Dubas can trade him to literally any team, then it seems likely he'd be heading to NJ.

 

[Forge]

I would be annoyed if we had to give up some sort of compensation to get Sullivan.... You know, besides his pay lol
