Legend it seems you’ve ignored my question. Last post is solid tho.
For those that don’t think Welly is ready for the job. Do any of you think the brain trust of the CHL would have chosen him to be the coach in Flint if he wasn’t qualified?? Another reason I’ll add, doing well in multiple cities with ownership that leaves a bit to be desired is a huge check mark on his resume! It says I can coach a team well despite ownership!

I wonder if there isn't a sudden ownership change waiting for the Board of governors to approve. It is possible that Wellwood and maybe others have an partial ownership interest. I am not sure when the board meets but I know any changes to ownership must be voted on by the board. Something else to mull over lol. They were considering selling before so what has changed their minds to keep it? Lower value in these Covid times I'm sure. Maybe bargain enough to open the door for someone new. At the end of the day, this Ownership has been awfully quiet publicly to the fans. We don't need to know all their business for sure but a little nugget to build confidence is not to much to ask for. Camp less than a month away.I’m not sure if he’s been offered other jobs. He’s clearly said he wants this job. My chats with some folks have all gone to, he’s getting the job. But Spits have due diligence to do and figure out if the can keep Smith. Let’s judge Smith on his body of work. He’s flat out not ready! I again believe there’s something else going on we aren’t privy to. Let’s hope it’s all positive.

By no means is this an endorsement of Smith over Wellwood I have already mentioned Wellwood as leading contender for HC job but how could you say Smith flat out not ready,former player in league,University degree,1 year video coach,5 years assistant,2 years associate, like Wellwood was an assistant coach when Windsor won Mem Cup,Wellwood Memorial Cup with DJ Smith as assistant.
Now you can say Wellwood has head coaching experience because of Flint,true but when he got Flint gig he had only 3 years experience as assistant (2)
,associate (1).For context Smith like I said brings 7 years to the table.
And just so you know when Windsor brought in Rocky Thompson, he had zero head coaching experience but had 9 years of Junior,AHL,NHL experience.
FYI not bias but context.
Smith be cheaper n lazy option.
Hopefully owners r doing everything possible. Need to show something to fans..
Would you saying the same
thing if Wellwood were not a major consideration for the job or had been hired by another team?
Just asking
I don't see this happening....but for the sake of shitz & giggles.........What would everyone's reaction be if Warren Rychel is named the new head coach of the Spit's? ..
