Who could be our new coach?

[Nickel eye Heel hers]

I don't see an issue with promoting from inside the organization. Pascal Vincent might actually be a good choice.
He might be less likely to play veterans with flaws and play rookies with upside.

Sutter -
The players would cringe and the media would cry

If you replace a coach mid-season you usually get stuck with whatever mediocre coach is doing TV commentary at the time.

Dan Bylsma and Crawford are former Cup winners working as assistants so would have to wait til the offseason. What coaches are available right now? Potentially Sutter if he's sick or ranching or whatever it is he does. But we all know if Maurice is fired mid-season Carlyle is the new coach.

I think it is common practice to let assistants go to become head coaches. Not sure about mid season but I think they would be let go.

But if not, we get the interim coach thing. That may not be a bad idea anyway. Give Pascal a chance to show what he can do.

Former Cup winners doesn't mean too much. I mean, there's a reason these guys are just assistants now.

I'd like to go offboard and try a coach from Finland

Nope. They make all their players play the wrong side right from early childhood.

 

[Yogi141]

I would bring in Daryll Sutter for the balance of the year. They may not win a lot but you can bet they would learn how to play defence!

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Todd Nelson would be my pick

But I find that Joel Quenneville or Alain Vigneault would've been the best bets for success.

Well there is Jukka Jalonen, who is the only coach besides Babcock to have won both WJC and WC (twice) gold medals in IIHF tournaments. But we all know that doesn't matter, NHL coaching vacancy is the only position in the world (besides the president) where you can't get hired if you were born in the wrong continent .

We need another guy that's good with the media...

I know Coach Q is off the board, but did AV pick up a job?

Also, Hawerchuk? Is that a possibility? I thought I'd heard he was taking some he time away from Barrie, but maybe I'm wrong?

 

[Al Camino]

If past history is anything to go by one would suspect it won't be anything inspired. Would probably be Vincent since he's been here forever and loyalty seems to be priority. Would like to see someone a little more forward thinking. And by that I mean anyone who would scratch Letestu, Bourque and Bitetto.

I want the Jets and Columbus to fire their coaches around the same time and each pick up the other's cast-off. Of course we'll need one of these for the Return of Maurice. No shortage of pictures of PoMo getting beet-faced on the bench.

I wonder how Torts would react to getting nothing but softball questions from the media?

Winnipeg needs a Winner, a coach who has coached in Winnipeg, a coach who won the Jack Adams Trophy, and most importantly like Winnipeg his last name must start with a "W". I am talking about Tom Watt! He is ONLY 84 years old! We need his wisdom and 1980s mindset!

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

I hear that Dustin Byfuglien is available. Maybe if we offer him the player-coach job he would take it. A modern day Doug Harvey player-coach defenseman.






Do I need to put a 'just kidding' emoji on this one?

 

[Channelcat]

They would probably just make Todd Woodcroft as interim coach until the end of the season.

He's a very sharp hockey guy. I really don't think Mo and Puddy have much grasp of defensive concepts.

Deserves as shot, merrits speak for themselves, tactical genious, great at developing young talent and would not p***yfoot with wheeler and scheiff.

Only problem is zero nhl expierience ant majpee littell inglizh nat soou gutt!

The only problem is that for team performance, the difference between a good & bad athmosphere is larger than good & almost-as-good tactics

He might be a very good coach on the tactical side, but he would lose so much with his language barrier that I don't think he'll be a head coach in the NHL

Might get a gig as an assistant coach / video coach / adviser to the head coach or something like that

Blake Wheeler can coach. He already does.

 

[Hunter368]

Stay on topic, just deleted half the posts due to spam, OT and whining.

 

[Hunter368]

MOD NOTE: This thread is to discuss candidates who might be out there to become the Jets next Head Coach. It is not a discussion on the current Head Coach or his performance. A thread exists for that already.

Reminder to people to stay on topic and what the topic is.

Andy Murray.

The last couple seasons the Jets have been a far better team than they were in their whole Atlanta history. We have one of the best young cores in the game most locked up long term on nice contracts. Even a set back year like this looks to be more likely than not a Wildcard team. Chevy will out live 99% of posters on this board.

Finnish in the bottom 10 year after year and drafting top 10 talent is not a skill. Anyone can do it. Going into year with a dcore with less then 500 games experience with 3 months notice and doing squat about it is criminal. Still a worse gm them maurice is a coach.

Lols. He'd give himself 30+minutes ice-time per night!! And not back-check at all. Then he could yell at himself for Not back-checking on the plane flight home or ride home.

 

[GumbyCan2]

But seriously, I'd consider Dale Hawerchuk and try to find a new Defensive-guru coach to replace Huddy!
