The worst ever coach for your team?

[Hisch13r]

I'll go with John MacLean from recent history. Tougher to judge guys from the early 80's when the team was so brutal to begin with.

It's definitely MacLean. Lemaire came in after him and turned the team completely around and they played great. They were 9-22-2 under MacLean which is a 49 pt pace and the same that the Avs are currently on. Under Lemaire they were 29-17-3 which is a 102 pt pace. More than doubled their pace after they canned MacLean

Ugh god. Don't even remind me. That man is part of the reason we no longer have hockey in Atlanta.


For the Rangers (in my life time) it has to be Trottier. Everything about it was wrong from the start.

I'll call your Trottier and raise with Michel Bergeron. We traded a first round draft pick for him and also $75k, because apparently a first round draft pick for a head coach won't cut it.

 

[Kitty Hawk]

Keith Magnuson or Billy Reay.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Dallas Eakins.

The Preds have had two coaches, Trotz and Laviolette, and neither is particularly disliked.

You get two choices: Barry Trotz or Peter Laviolette. Haven't had another coach haha.

Not Applicable.

My first year watching the Leafs was Quinn's first year as the head coach. Carlyle is definitely the worst Leafs coach I've seen in that time span.

Claude Noel.

As far as I can tell the Nordiques draft Daniel Dore with that pick, but when you look at the board the Rangers could have drafted Roenick, Selanne, Brind'Amour, Mogilny, Recchi, Blake, etc with that pick. Hell of a draft, but I'm sure the Rangers would have screwed it up anyway.

Bergeron was technically a better coach than Trots but you make a solid point.

 

[DapperCam]

Ron Rolston, at least in the last 20 years.

 

[Tweedsuitcase]

Adam Oates, but it was Bruce Cassidy before that.

 

[RaindanceMaggie]

Oates

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Brian Trottier. What a stupid decision to hire him.

Dark days those were...

 

[Terry Yake]

either pierre page or guy charron for the ducks

 

[Never]

Mario Tremblay.

 

[weaponomega]

From the coaches I've witnessed its between Dave Lewis and Steve Kasper. I'm going with Lewis because I've never seen a team more disorganised and unprepared for every opponent. Given the talent on his roster, that team should not have missed the playoffs.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

Christ. I'm a pens fan ... the list is long and not distinguished lol

 

[Got One Cup]

Mike Keenan no doubt about it. #99 would of probably stayed with the Blues if not for this tool.

 

[Bieber fever]

Guy Carbonneau played an enforcer (laraque ) on the first line

 

[BB58]

muckler

 

[Inkling]

Sens - Dave Allison

 

[bombers15]

Dallas "Corsi" Eakins AINEC.

 

[IcemanTBI]

Michel Therrien.. and hes still coaching! LOL

 

[pezpunk]

Oates, no contest. Tried his best to ruin Holtby and Ovechkin.

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

Tough call between Dave Lewis & Jeff Blashill....tie goes to Blashill as worst ever.
