Proposal: The please fire Travis Green thread..

[Hit the post]

I hope this "bass solo" sounds like Cliff Burton's......or Geezer Butler's at least

Unrelated random video with the subject matter involving the bass:

oops, link left out the most important part. It was Steve Shutt that introduced Geddy Lee to Alex Lifesong. All three went to the same high school.

How about a please fire Benning+Green thread? You can't fire Green and let Jim survive. The front office needs to be purged.

 

[PavelBure10]

Aquillini > Benning > Green = All need to be purged.

 

[Hoglander]

Aqua will pay to fix rosters f***-ups, but skimps on management personnel(the most important pieces) unless a player makes a public statement about it. Aqua has his yes men, we're screwed

Would you ride out Green the rest of the year if it meant both were let go?

Too much possibility for a new coach to come in, turn things around even a little bit, and have ownership decide to keep management in place.

Im pretty convinced that all three are a psckage deal and if one goes all go. No reason to sign green to a two year deal to line up with benning other wise.

 

[Petey O]

Why isn't there a tank thread yet?

 

[KingofSurrey]

Stopped caring a few years ago.

Worst GM in the league... so really my expectations are zero.

I would never spend a dollar on attending a Canucks game until Dim is fired.

 

[Raistlin]

Rationale behind making that risky OEL trade instead of waiting 1 year for Beagle/Eriksson/Roussel to expire is to start winning this year right??

Thats what Aqua is sold to get on hook for 6 more years of OEL's 7 million.... so why is it solely the coach's fault?

The puck stops at Benning. Its his team, his staff, his chemistry.

 

[David71]

so lets say you fire travis green, bradshaw gets promoted. baumer gone. the other two assistants stay the new ones. and jason king. the team will fall down further the standings. benning gets fired in january. new gm search is on.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

It’s just not the coach! Who hired him?!? Lol

Dont you dare say it!

 

[Soups On]

Hire Gorton and Boudreau, Aqua stays out of the way, appropriate personnel evaluated by the above brought in.

That's what it would take to get this team on track. It ain't happening for a while unfortunately

 

[Sedinery]

Fire Green?

duh

I'm even more impressed by the car collection drummer Neil Peart had and I love the link and Steve Shutt is one of my "why is he in the HHOF" guys and Rick Middleton isn't...WTF?

Fire the GM and let the new GM pick a new head coach.

Only this.

 

[EpochLink]

The seat is hot and it’ll get even hotter if we lose tonight

 

[xtra]

I am against firing Travis green.

why because they should all go down together. No dead cat bounce; no we saw improvements under the new coach excuses.

let it all burn down and give us a top 5 pick

 

[VanJack]

Jethro isn't going to fire Green.....their fates are now joined at the hip.....if this season flops, they're both gone anyway.

So the best scenario for this team might be another implosion; a mass firing at season's end and a top five draft pick. The only downside, it's going to be tough to endure for an entire season, particularly with Edmonton and Calgary lapping the field so far in the Pacific.

 

[Delocatedfan]

Curious what if Mike Babcock was on the shortlist to replace Green? I do think Green isn't getting through to the players but I hope MB isn't the replacement

He's essentially blacklisted from the league. Nobody wants to open that can of worms

 

[Godkolzin]

But Linden

In a league that protected a rapist and fined the organization responsible for protecting him less than a team working out a draft prospect I highly doubt they care about that.

I certainly hope so but I could see Aqua or Benning charge that he "deserves" a second chance etc

Of course. 100%. Benning needs to go too.
