Whatever you want it to beWhat should my opinion be on Vincent being named head coach?
What do you man by gravitas? haha I don't know what that isI was dead set against Pascal during the last interview process and remain unimpressed. I don’t see him as having the gravitas to hold the team together. And it now appears that some players have an open door to lodge complaints against their coach
To reply to what that other poster said, I actually disagree. I think from watching the team in game, it always seemed like they respected what Vincent had to say in regards to strategy. I think the players like and respect him.To the Jackets fans, what do you think of Pascal Vincent as head coach?
Personally I'm glad for him, I'm also québécois and I remember when he did some tv, he was among the most well articulate hockey experts I've heard on french tv!

I think pressure to Find An Outside Guy after Larsen failed is what got us Babcock.One thing I worry about is I think the Jackets benefit from an outside voice. I generally don't love assistants being promoted as it feels like real change isn't possible.
On the other hand, sometimes someone who has been in the room and knows what they can do to fix issues can immediately give more results vs someone who has to learn it themselves.
Not really the same when the guy fired hasnt even really coached the teamOne thing I worry about is I think the Jackets benefit from an outside voice. I generally don't love assistants being promoted as it feels like real change isn't possible.

He seems like a good guy who has the potential to be a good head coach. But for him his first job is taking the keys to be head coach of a team:To the Jackets fans, what do you think of Pascal Vincent as head coach?

Hes got 2 years as head coach atleastAfter Larsen was fired, I really wanted Vincent to be the coach. I hope he won't just be an interim.
Completely agree. 1st I was surprised he was still on the staff, now I'm surprised he's the coach.I was dead set against Pascal during the last interview process and remain unimpressed. I don’t see him as having the gravitas to hold the team together. And it now appears that some players have an open door to lodge complaints against their coach
You forgot to look at lines and also the fact that our PP was one of the best after the all star game.Completely agree. 1st I was surprised he was still on the staff, now I'm surprised he's the coach.
Ran one of the worst PP's in the league, gets rewarded by being promoted to head coach.
We don't know how Vincent may have influenced Larsen's decisions.No offense to Vincent, but management let Larsen get walked all over by these players, and Vincent was apart of the staff that got walked over. I know things change when you’re the head guy, but clearly management thought a stricter message was needed.
I’m happy for Vincent. he seems like a good man. I just don’t see this being much better than Larsen even if he’s a “tactician”.
24th in 2021-2022, 26th in 2022-2023 ... but yeah, in March he did well.You forgot to look at lines and also the fact that our PP was one of the best after the all star game.

That is a bunch of crap. As a leader, coach, manager, etc. If you don’t agree it is your job to convince of another way. Just following isn’t a leader. Vincent will get walked on by players and much more of the same will happen. Larsen 2.0You forgot to look at lines and also the fact that our PP was one of the best after the all star game.
