Speculation: Next head coach of the San Jose Sharks

[Lebanezer]

Well, now that Scarlett Johansson is married, it'll be interesting to see who I decide to date.

Her marriages don’t last more than 3 years. Just wait it out.

 

[Hangemhigh]

And it will be himself

He is good with developing young players

 

[DG93]

I bet they are waiting for Sturm (and what LA decides regarding their HC position)

Gif 2, Quinn in year 1. Gif 1, Quinn after year 2.

Pagnotta said yesterday on the radio that Hiller will be the HC next season.

Coachella Valley is currently leading Ontario 2-0 in their best of 5 series. Game three is tonight. Should Ontario lose we should find out soon one way or the other what LA’s plan for Sturm is.

If thats true I imagine Sturm would be ours if we choose him.

Hopefully we do once Ontario loses

Hopefully. He'd be my number 1 choice.

Ontario got swept. Sign the man.

I have no idea how to feel about this. Dude was terrible in Chicago but how much of that was on him?

 

[LadyStanley]

I'd rather GMMG have an extra long list, be thorough, and consider every possible candidate than be so narrow minded to only talk with "the favorites".

Definitely agree and it seems like the names that have come up either all don’t have NHL head coaching experience or only one stint which I like.

I put that mostly on their management. I don't know how they convinced themselves that a 33 year old coach who had one year of AHL coaching experience prior was ready to be an NHL coach. He's probably better prepared for a second tour of coaching duties with some more experience under his belt but not sure how much of that is really applicable to what the Sharks want to do with Celebrini moving forward.

He's going to run through all these guys, no one will want the job so he'll do it himself. GMMG4HC!!!

HC now means hockey club instead of head coach. Thanks Utah

First it means no more "desert dogs", now this?!

 

[tiburon12]

I still think the coaching decision comes down to what Smith and Celebrini decide to do. They are too integral to the process.

First it means no more "desert dogs", now this?!

If Utah becomes the Freeze, they can be nicknamed the Dessert Dogs

Based on the latest speculation from Sheng, I'm putting the odds pretty high on Halpern. Former teammate of Grier during a painful rebuild, has won two cups as an assistant in TBL, some development experience.

I would expect a 5 year contract for anyone with a decent resume.

5 years is a long time for a coach. Hasn't the standard been 3 year contracts for a while now?

Yes, but why would you take that if you were an experienced coach walking into a rebuild.

2 rebuild years, 3 years to compete. Year 1 is basically a wash, there isn't a lot you can do with it.

 

[NWSharkie]

I guess the idea would be you take it because it shortens the window where you might not be allowed to take another job should the team not meet expectations. 3 years or 5 doesn't stop you getting fired, it just means you have to get permission to work again.

If you want security, get the money up front and win a bunch of games. I feel like anybody with the resume to ask for 5 years either wouldn't take the job or would have the resume to get a lot of leeway for underperformance anyway.
