Our next coach..? (Poll)

[Sens of Anarchy]

Head Julien
Asst Roy heir apparent
Asst Martin
Asst Guy Carnoneau

These guys get it turned around .


Look what Tocchet has done for the Canucks...

 

[swiftwin]

Who knew 95% of Sens fans on here who have trashed Dorion and Dj for several years were right

I mean that’s a pretty amazing assessment by HF Sens, bang on

Lmao.

Literally every coach and GM in the NHL gets fired at one point or another.

They were both good during their tenure here, but their expiry date has passed.

Gallant or Julien. It's a bit tricky without a GM though. Do we offer them an interim role? Would they accept?

We don't want a Boudreau in Vancouver incident.

 

[Oduyanow]

Going by the Paul MacLean moustache scale, this guy seems amply qualified.

What about MacLean's doppelganger who sat behind him in the stands. "I am the Walrus, Goo goo g'joob"

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

I would take a shot on Patrick Roy. Seems to fit in with the no nonsense ethos that the new management seems to have. Has this innate fire to want to win at all levels. Will be just that little bit controversial to get out team some more notice on the NHL scale. May attract players to want to come and play for him.

Roy is a two time quitter, we don’t need him in the Senators organization in any way.

 

[Golden_Jet]

No interest in Roy, he quit on his team, 3 weeks before training camp,
Also wanted more power than just coaching.

No problem with that, give him an assistant gm role too

No, who even does that, anymore

 

[Silky Johnson]

Roy is a two time quitter, we don’t need him in the Senators organization in any way.

But he is a four time Stanley Cup champion. So he is twice as likely to win us a cup then quit on the team...

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Are there any rumours through insiders or media on who it may actually be?

 

[redbrick98]

Doubt it. Andlauer rarely leaks.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

I wonder if Edmonton is looking at the same coaches that Ottawa is interested in. Wonder who makes the first move in firing their coach.

 

[Ice-Tray]

I didn’t say they predicted a firing, I said they claimed they were not good for their roles.

They were right, the 5% who called the fans holding this opinion just emotional and not rational we’re proven 100% wrong

No they weren’t right. They just need to be right, so they bend and twist and mold until they have convinced themselves that they are.

And the rest of us just shake our heads. You simple handle folks like that, you can’t reached them.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

They should bring in Daigle for an interview. He is apparently revolutionizing the trap in Junior-B.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Nothing has come out in the same way Staios was rumored to be the POHO, and now people are name dropping Chiarelli as the GM.

There may be a grainy big foot style photo of something like looks like Claude Julien walking within the vicinity of the CTC.

Patrick Roy randomly leaving a championship team without any NHL job or interviews was peculiar. So it makes me wonder if he might be the choice of Staios and Andlauer. He apparently talked to some teams about front office positions, but that could mean anything. It doesn't mean he was actually seriously up for a big role.

He was "linked" to Ottawa in the summer as a coaching candidate, but I don't recall any legitimate insider linking him here. I think it was mainly just so many people predicting it based on it making sense timing wise, that it snowballed from being online speculation to Roy being "linked" to Ottawa.

 

[Samboni]

I don’t get the love for Roy, what has he done at the coaching level to merit consideration? IMO, if he was any good, he would be coaching in the NHL right now. Didn’t he butt heads with Joe Salic in Colorado?

My choice is Ted Lasso.

 

[DJB]

No interest in Roy he is an ego maniac.

Not interested in the next “hot shot”. It’s time for a coach with tons of experience and a proven track record.

Julien is my #1 but I’d be fine with Gallant or maybe Jacques as my 3rd choice. Maybe Boudreau but not sure

Experience and a winning pedigree are a must

 

[Liver King]

No they weren’t right. They just need to be right, so they bend and twist and mold until they have convinced themselves that they are.

And the rest of us just shake our heads. You simple handle folks like that, you can’t reached them.

Listening to you rationalize your losses is quite entertaining. You sir are the one who cannot be reached.

I knew the three Dorion/DJ fans would come out to play But, as we all know (but them) - years of terrible opinions have been proven 100% wrong and they gotta live in it.

Goodluck

 

[coladin]

Julien is the best option. Hopefully he joins the team in Sweden so he can bond with the players a bit and get on with salvaging the season.

Yes, if we get the right coach, a really good one, it could be just what we need. Vancouver seems to have turned things around. Montreal under St. Louis seems to be pointed in the right direction. Results can be variable though depending on the coach. Sometimes the initial boost wears off after awhile. Got to get these players playing more responsible team D I'd think.

 

[chipsens]

So imo, it comes down to Claude Julien 63yr or Gerard "Turk" Gallant 60yr. Somebody said Julien has a problem?! Either one will add BADLY NEEDED STRUCTURE, if only as an interim coach. So long DJ!

I like Boudreau but he's not a guy that will turn us around defensively.

Gallant has some odd quotes when it comes to holding guys accountable, if DJ said word for word what he did people would be grabbing the pitch forks.

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

But he is a four time Stanley Cup champion. So he is twice as likely to win us a cup then quit on the team...

How many Cups did Gretzky win?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Gallant or Roy. I’m not sure our offensive guys like Stutzle would mesh well with Julien.

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

Julien is the best option. Hopefully he joins the team in Sweden so he can bond with the players a bit and get on with salvaging the season.

SS is no rush to bring in a GM, especially if the person(s) he is targeting is currently employed and is willing to wait until the off season, if not given permission to interview whoever he may be targeting.

Same thing with Coach position…. If he has a few names on his list,,that he wants to free the job to, for the long run…. He again may have to wait until the offseason to interview them, unless given permission….. he may have no choice but to appoint an interim coach is the team falls of the Cliff…. And that very well may have given the fact there are at least Six Starters currently injured…. Some long term.

 

[BondraTime]

Roy would be ideal

He holds players accountable, he brings an element the Sens haven't had in a long time, his players love him. He knows what needs to be done on the ice, and he's able to change what the team needs to do depending on the roster he has in front of him.

He's been out of the league for a decade, he's not the same guy he was in 2016.
