What's the beef with Martin? Is he a dinosaur? Hasn't been a head coach in 7 years but has stayed in the game as an assistant. If people want a hardass who can get this team to play with some structure, this would be one of the options.
I can't hate the hire if it happens. Its what I wanted. It's really exactly what Botts said he wanted.What's the beef with Martin? Is he a dinosaur?

This one actually seems the most likely with the Pittsburgh connection.Given how few accurate leaks have come out with Botterill in charge, these reports seem like throwing stuff against the wall.
Let me know when the white smoke comes out and a press conference is scheduled.
I don't see much difference between Martin's resume and the coaches hired besides Quenneville.Except the market wasn't slim this year, there were good options available. Botts just didn't get it done and now we pick at the remaining scraps.
I don’t love Jacques Martin, but that’s incorrect. He’s about 60 games over 500Coached for 33 years in the pros and has a sub .500 record.. give em Babcock money before Anaheim does.

Martin's resume is exactly what I have been asking the Sabres to hire. I'de be a hypocrite for being critical of the hire.Much of the Sabres fan base now suffers from The Stockholm Syndrome 'a condition which causes hostages to develop a psychological bond with their captors as a survival strategy'. 'Jacques Martin? Great hire Botts! (please don't hurt me anymore)'
He's been an assistant. He's been coaching.You mean other than Martin not being a head coach in coming up on a decade?
He's been an assistant. He's been coaching.

Hard to say without being in the room room. Q to Florida was preordained, apparently. McLellan apparently wanted to stay out west. AV - who knows? I wasn’t crazy about the idea of hiring him.
I know it’s easy to rip on Botts, but it’s like signing a UFA player; you can’t force them to come to Buffalo.

Find me that candidate with no cause for concern. Hire him.Guess there's no cause for concern, then!
