Can you give us all a quick summary of YOUR coaching qualifications? And are you polishing up that impressive coaching resume of yours so you can apply to coach the Spitfires when then the team has an opening with your coaching pedigree?

I didn't see where windsor7 was pining for the head coaching job. I do believe fans have questioned the coaching this past year. Whether it was playing certain players too much and more talented players very little. As long as there's uncertainty in the board room this franchise will have a difficult time thriving at the highest level.

Fans/media are allowed to question coaches. I think most of us on here, as well as media around town, have seen the game long enough to know when something isn't right. Why not keep Cuylle/Foudy together? Why not keep Boka in a checking role? Why not put Douglas/Purboo in front of the net on a PP? Do we need to have OHL coaching qualifications in order to go "this doesn't seem right" or "this has worked, why change it"? No.

June 1st..trade window is open. Let’s be positive this June. You have to expect the Spits to make some moves, signings or trades to get the collective fan base juices flowing. Anybody care to predict the next player signing. Anybody care to guess as to the 1st player traded.(not who you want traded but who you think will be traded.)

I think Frasca will be traded first, but "Coaches favourite Boka", should be the first. Leadership was missing on this team...coach should go. Look what Berube did in St. Louis. Hold players accountable for full effort, change things when they don't work, do what's right, not what makes certain players happy! Take control or resign as coach!!!!

According to OHL insiders.../
Windsor Spitfires are looking to move OA candidate and Captain, Luke Boka.
No word on price or potential suitors yet but they have been making calls.

When did i say i coached?
However the coaching staff stinks.
Out coached every game. Bad bad decisions every game. Any fan can see this if u dont have the blinders on.
R u related to one of them u need to defend them?
Care to expand on this? what exactly are these 'bad decisions' and what other courses of actions should have been taken by the coaching staff to right these 'bad decisions'?
I am quickly getting the impression that you don't like being called out, do you?
Playing certain players too much.
Stale coaching style. Not adapting to the play. Being stubborn

Lack of changing the PP. not using Cuylle in OTs. Not using cuylle and foudy together on 5-3’s. Over playing Boka when he isn’t a top 6 forward. Why didn’t the younger guys play more if we rebuilding. Why didn’t Kari play more down the stretch to see what he was capable of to know if he someone who needs to come back or not
Who are these certain players and what is a stale coaching style? Specifics please and while you are at that, how about some examples of not adapting to the play and who is being stubborn?

I'm still not sure why we need an extensive coaching background in order to make comments on the coaching? Does every media/fan out there who analyzes a game require a coaching background?
That's about right. Of course with everything that has gone on if Letowski does return it will be like kicking the can down the road.

They could have a solid team. Lots of returning players.
And he can bank a bunch of cash from his education package, living at home.
Family friends, job and can take a shot at Europe if he chooses when he is done.
He talked with some schools out east as well but seems like a good fit to stay home.

Nice list ...but you forgot to mention putting a red light on any physical play or standing up for team mates.
Maybe Boka isnt all to blame for his lack of leadership shown, there was other factors.I dont blame him for wanting out of this cluster puck and putting in his OA season and getting the money for school.

Boka wants out? Why would he when he has been given very preferential treatment! Trade him to Siberia.

If he is made captain (doesn't matter if he can communicate), and promised first line minutes..play the whole powerplay...ect, ect.... it might meet his demands, and make him happy!
