All Encompassing Head Coach Search Thread

[BernieParent]

I just read the title as "All Embarrassing Head Coaching Search" and I sure hope it isn't that

Narrator's voice: His hopes were not realized.

I think offering Tocchet a lot money & him possibly having a personal connection to the organization to the point where it could blind him to challenges are probably the only thing going for the Flyers here.

I think if you look at it practically though if you’re Tocchet this is probably your last shot where you have good stock around the league. I don’t think any of these jobs Flyers included are you setting you up to win any time soon.

I think sitting out the year & going back to TNT while waiting for the next coaching cycle might make a lot of sense for him.

That’s basically the only things.

Next season should be a mulligan. No coach is going to get this team into the playoffs and the roster can’t radically be reshaped in an offseason. My hopes are Shaw or Lappy agrees to take the helm for ~2 years with the potential for more if a good job is done. Ownership gives Briere 2 more years with the caveat that the team has to be looking like they have potential 2-3 seasons from now. It was always going to take time post-Fletcher to attempt to right the ship. No coach or GM would turn this team into a contender or even a playoff team quickly

should be.. but i feel they are gonna do their best to get back into the PO mix..and by best i mean something stupid

I have a hard time seeing ownership give their blessing for the trades the last couple of years only for them to do an about-face. NHL players they traded include Provorov, Walker, Frost, Farabee, Laughton, and Kuzmenko. NHLers they got in return: Pelletier. That’s a solid chunk of the team gone and not replaced. I would think Briere would need ownership’s blessing to go in that direction with the understanding that the future is more important than the present

@Magua do we want Carle? Or?

This is all pointless without a sale etc., obviously.

He turned down Chicago so I’m guessing he would turn down Philly.

He looks like Owen Tippett’s cousin. It’s a tough call, mate.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Signed an extension.

I figured he would stay
