Management Poll: Does Boston Bruins Head Coach Bruce Cassidy Still Have a Job in 2022-23?

[Hookslide]

I dont know how much the old man is active on day to day.
What I will say is if Charlie is sincere about wanting another Cup for dad , he better get his thumb outta his ass and do something.

He is active enough too read the bottom every morning.........

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Honestly, he stays for as long as they can keep him here. This postseason bought D&D’er another season (at least). Coach goes first so if they can him now, then what happens if they go into the season and suck? No buffer.

Sweeney and Neely are issue not Bruce.And Bruins had 107 pts so even saying that I feel dirty

A 107 pt regular season team not bad ,playoffs not so good , that should not fall on the coach it should all fall on management for playoff failures ..........look at teams still alive in playoffs speed ,big ,tough physical teams..........even smaller player like Gaudreau can be successful in the playoffs because of the way the rest of the roster is constructed..............B's management please read.

Well the change should have been at GM if Neely is saying that cause Bruins coach is not at fault to a point he should be fired. Only move that was debatable was starting Ullmark who stunk in his career vs Canes ..I listened to Sweeney yesterday and unless he is playing possum it sounded like he has absolutely no idea outside tanking on how to get that centre spot fixed but again the man was not stupid he knew the hole would be there and thus he bolstered back end with Lindholm which was a great trade your not getting his type player where Bruins were picking and it gives Bruins super solid base with Swayman to survive or should I say still contend for playoff spots which is Jacobs criteria .That said his constant wasting cap on players like Foligno while other holes grow is frustrating but at same time his team did get 107 pts and took one of best teams 7 games .I am just going to hope it works out.

I love Bruce and don’t think he deserves to be fired

But if Sweeney and Neely are gonna force him to change his coaching style

I’d rather they just let him go and bring in a new coach then try and make Bruce someone he’s not

 

[JRull86]

Start with Sacco if that's the case. Suck suck suck.

 

[MattFromFranklin]

Any guesses on which former teammate of Neely's he will hire as the next coach?

This reeks of management laying their failures on Bruce.Every coach has times where they should change things and Bruce is no exception but come on man look what you stuck him with.That Foligno contract was a brutal kick to his nads .Bruce might have kept playing him to prove a point now that I think about it hearing Neely comments.

BRING IN TROTZ

You think he is gonna do better?Bruce has taken teams further in less time .It's management not getting him right players to finish job.I see nothing that warrants removal of Bruce.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Sacco is really tight with Bergeron.

headed to Winnipeg, most likely after the Jets had Lowry after the change earlier this season from Maurice

 

[DKH]

If I was owner or President or GM it’s time

 

[Over the volcano]

Cassidy will be fine. Turn the page.

Thanks for all the almost great memories.

Change has to start somewhere

 

[McGarnagle]

Any guesses on which former teammate of Neely's he will hire as the next coach?

 

[LouJersey]

No Bergeron decision and Sweeney still not extended...I expect a coming back and extension once Cassidy is let go,

Neely is not a fan at all.

Stubborn Bruce kept running into the Carolina Wall in Carolina. Cam also made a point to say "the younger guys were too worried about missing the next game after making a mistake in the current game."

Hostile work environment. No bueno

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Neely loves passing the buck yeesh

I believe he is a profession rodeo rider. Or maybe it was a stunt double for Clint Eastwood.

Can't remember. Whatever it is, it's a salt of the earth kind of thing. Mixing with common people in some capacity.

Tee hee.

But remember, it was Charlie who went outside the organization and brought in Peter Chiarelli, who, a season removed from the Dave Lewis Experiment, brought in Claude Julien in turn.

Worked out pretty well.

Now that Sweeney is evidently safe for another year, I hope Charlie does the same after yet another "day late, dollar short" effort from the SweeNeely brain trust.

It's my only hope.

Sad thing is you don't need a magic 8 ball, to see what the future brings here with Sweeney. I just wish he would go ahead an get it over with all ready.

 

[GordonHowe]

Guys got bad groceries.

I can't really blame him for the outcome.

He has warts but what coach doesn't? Haven't really seen anything from him that makes me think he needs to be canned.

Powerplay sucks but how much of that is on the personnel?

It's entirely on management. If the personnel isn't good enough, what is Cassidy supposed to do?

Sweeney and Neely are ultimately responsible. Except, of course, when they're not.

Shift the blame on to Cassidy, as both have now done.

Blame the coach/fire the coach.

The last refuge of a scoundrel.

 

[GordonHowe]

The biggest issue of not being talked about is he’s still under contract. You guys really think anyone under contract is getting fired under jacobs as long as they are making the playoffs? Come on.

The old man will write that off as the cost of doing business, if need be.

And, most certainly, Sweeney and Neely will sacrifice Cassidy forthwith to save their skin.

That's how it works.

 

[LSCII]

He should have a job after making that shit bag roster a playoff team, but they'll scapegoat him now and blame everything on him instead of accepting the fact that they put together an incredibly flawed roster. He basically made chicken salad out of chicken shit, and the thanks he's going to get is fired. Meanwhile, the problem with the team will remain in charge running things, drafting poorly, and signing bottom of the roster types to long term high value deals.
