Updated: Who Do you want as coach? (Poll)

[Fjordy]

If Toronto fires Babcock and appoints Keefe, then Botterill will probably go after Babcock.

Even if that happens, I doubt Babcock goes to Buffalo after screwing the team over last time.

You're saying Babcock wouldn't want to coach in BFLO because he leveraged their offer to close his TOR deal, or that Bots/Pegula wouldn't have him? I'm not sure I agree with either position. If Babcock gets canned, is there a better team to go to torment TOR?

No, i agree, i doubt he goes after his (second?) choice now, if it even was a choice. His wife prefered the bigger, more exciting and connected city of Tronna anyways.

Babcock as an option is far out.

I don't really want Babcock after watching him in the playoffs the last few years. He did not play his stars when it mattered and it cost him. I'll be happy with Keefe or Gronberg.

Botts wasn't here when it happened, so I doubt he cares. I don't see Babcock coming here. I think he'd rather sit out a year and see what's available next year rather than be like "LOL sorry about last time, it's for real now guys!"

Down 4-0, outshot 16-1. "Not a bad first period, guys. Keep it going."

 

[Sabre Dance]

Ron Rolston is available? What are we waiting for?

 

[Buffaloed]

Keefe and Grönborg are in a tight race. How much is it worth to you that your man wins? My Boughner vote is for sale to the highest bidder. The full power of the WCDB thread will be behind the leading vote getter. His hiring is a sure thing.

I don't think that is the way professional sports with professionals is handled.

I hope it's not one of the fossils that are rumored

Zero votes vor Taylor, zero for Krueger (cept me).. i have to ask: What in the world has changed between those two polls, which aren't that far apart by the way?

I guess Taylor lost all support because of three(!!!) games, Krueger i still don't know.
In the meantime a coach that has done nothing since - Gronborg - has risen sharply, mostly because Social Media campaigned for him.

I congratulate you to your consistency in opinion, dear fellow armchair GMs

Because of three games or because of getting swept in the first round of the playoffs? Context is everything. Coaches get fired for that.

A Dave Tippett voting lane has been added to the express checkout line

He also lost 3 games against another coaching choice that had an inferior team. All Taylor votes should go Keefe.

 

[Der Jaeger]

I’m sticking with Viking beard power.

 

[Buffaloed]

I sold my vote to the forces of Grönborg. The only thing holding him back is the umlaut.

 

[rabi]

Why does Crawford have an asterisk?

 

[Der Jaeger]

Why does Crawford have an asterisk?

He broke Babe Ruth's single season HR record but it was a longer season.

 

[Buffaloed]

Why does Crawford have an asterisk?

I think he's still the coach of the Sens. We could add Babcock*

 

[krt88nc]

I’m sticking with Gronborg whom I voted for back on April 7th.

 

[Buffaloed]

Added Mike Vellucci

 

[Buffaloed]

Time to hop on the Krueger bandwagon while he's still the front runner.

 

[Hellinator]

There was a contract floating around internally a couple of weeks back for Krueger (not saying it was signed) but if that is any indication he is being hired then he will be our next coach.
