I'm sure BA is interested in Van Ryn.It has to be during the off-season.
One of two things.
AM doesn’t want to pay two coaches.
Or BA has a coach in mind that he wants to hire but are under contract on another team.
I don’t see any way RT coaches here next season.
I'm sure BA is interested in Van Ryn.
AM is a businessman that takes underperforming assets and turns them around. He does that by initially cutting expenses. I don't think he has any intention to be paying 2 people for one job. Tocchet's contract will expire at which time a new coach will be hired.
Dismissing Tocchet and naming Housley or Varady interim costs nothing
In the sense that we wouldn't be spending additional money, yes. However, then we'd be paying Tocchet to not coach the team. As much as I'd like that, I'm not sure if AM would.
That's just bad PR and doesn't help anything. Housley should be gone with RT.Dismissing Tocchet and naming Housley or Varady interim costs nothing
We all know we need more talent, but I truly believe and new experienced and proven coach would do quite a bit better.This team has very little talent, Buffalo with the same type of talent tried an awesome progressive who failed in less than 2 years. At least our team tries. The problem on this team is that they are soft, small and have " the native flu" syndrome. Tocchet has to go but I doubt a new coach will win more games until we change the skill level and size of our forwards. You can always coach system defence but scoring must come from the players.
That's my worry as well. If you think about, almost any team GM would have fired their coach by now watching this mess.Maybe BA doesn’t wanna fire Tocchet cuz he actually likes him and wants to try to extend him. Lol as much of a nightmare that would be I could see it
I doubt it.Given the amount of known internal issues with AM and staff, RT probably has a boat load of ammo against them which they fear he will unleash via a tell all news article as repercussion if fired.
AM has no business telling BA he can't let a coach go a month early. If he is genuinely blocking this then he is by far the largest hurdle the team will face in the summer.
