yup
Its a result oriented business.
You knew this roster was poor from gm 1.
Dineen couldn't get it done lst 20, PH can't next 60.
Both will survive.
PH took the job knowing what he had to work with.
Losing seasons didn't stop PD from landing another job.
KD making a nice run with Hockey Canada. Now named Coach of Canada's U18 team.
I would keep PH as an assistant, doubt he'd take it though, but as a Head Coach no.

forget about the results oriented stuff. i hoped for a better trip but the results of the last few games weren't unexpected. horachek won't be judged by how this group faired against those teams, especially not in terms of Ws and Ls. losing 3 straight to anaheim, the kings and coyotes at this time of year with this roster isn't a death sentence. unless we continue to spiral down and start failing to show up (that hasn't happened), i still think he'll be retained.

From GR:
Horachek, who took over the Panthers in November, is expected to seek a three-year deal from the Panthers once the season is complete although Tallon and Florida's management team could go a different direction there as well.
Tallon said a decision on Horachek's future could come as late as May after he, Vinnie Viola and new CEO Rory Babich analyze the franchise.

I would be surprised if an ownership group that is looking to make a splash would want to commit to three years of someone who has proven nothing.

Contract terms are largely irrelavent when it comes to coaches because they can be fired at any time. Torts signed a 5 year deal and he'll never see the end of it.

Yeah 3 years seems pretty standard for a coach, they are entitled to a little salary security.
Yes but most coaches move on to another team and once they sign it cancels the contract.
With PH I don't think he'd find another HC position. Maybe AC.

Look at how much Couts and JVR developed when they were free of Laviolette.
Don't want him near the kids, plus he can run a d system worth a damn.

Why, you want a coach that's just going to sit back and let his team be disrespected? I'll take a passionate coach who's willing to fight for his team over anything we've had recently.

i wanted laviolette back when carolina let him go, was upset when philly picked him up.
HC: Laviolette
AC-Skrudland
AC-Jovanovski
give me that as a coaching staff next season. but still curious as to what else is out there. would love skruds and jovo as the assistants next year.

I guess its just a matter of preference, I'd prefer a coach who is passionate and will get his team fired up as well as do anything to support his team, like Patrick Roy does for Colorado.
I'd guess you'd prefer someone like Horachek who has to read his "keys for the game" off of a note-sheet, but who is mature and professional and won't be in any headlines.
i hope for the franchise's sake, tallon make's a splash by changing things on the ice. we'll have to wait and see but my bet is that horachek will get the job done if you give him the horses and some time to set things up. i think he could be our trotz, ruff or tippett - the below-the-radar type coach who get the most out of his smaller market roster year after year after year.
"proven winners" mean nothing to me. there is absolutely no guarantee of anything by bringing in someone who's won elsewhere. we are just as likely to have long-term success with a solid coach who's proven nothing.
I like those things too. I just don't confuse them with acting like a fool. Like you said though, it's a matter of preference.

Really don't care if a coach jumps up and down and throws palm trees on the ice. Coach needs to get the best out if his players any way he can. Dineen was the yell and scream kind and how quickly did he loose the locker room?
Would you rather Hartley or Torts?
