I do semi-understand the hiring...

like with Knoblauch they brought in an assistant who had a promising HC career at lower levels, potentially to groom as a future HC...

but tbh a better role for him would have probably been LHV HC. But guess only wanted an NHL role?

At this point, I don’t want him coaching anything that I would like to witness at some point.

What pisses me off is if this were the eagles or the phillies...a reporter would 100% bring that up in a question.

Flyers reporters are always so cowardly.

Any coach that took off his shirt and tried to fight a player shouldve been unhirable.
These people see it as a positive. Fire. Swagger. Physically and mentally tough. Passion. Whatever. Works hard, holds player’s accountable. And so on.
