All Encompassing Head Coach Search Thread

We need a more effective plague.

Any news on when this might be happening?

Any news on when this might be happening?

I’m sure we’ll get an update of “tune in at 3PM” instead of just saying it right then and there.

Hopefully it's news that they're going to purge some of the dead Weight from the front office, not "Boucher named special assistant to the gm"

Isn’t that the time the STG starts?

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Knowing Philly media, the update is that the Flyers are out on Q.

The update is they’re bringing back Rocky. He’s gonna be the fighting coach.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Isn’t that the time the STG starts?

Hell if I know. I just made up some random time.

I haven't listened to them since Therien went on a rant about how the organization is so broken then mentioned he knows exactly the person that could fix it... Bob Clarke.

 

[Flybynite]

Guess i'll post this here. The Ducks have done all that and the Flyers have... *checks notes* interviewed Keith Jones' frat brother.

Lappy, Shaw, or Frat Bro or bust! This organization is so f***ing lazy.



*no, he's not actually Keith Jones' frat brother.

So of their three finalists one was a coach who was a coach who lied about being his knowledge of a cover-up of a sexual assault and I believe the quote was something like when he was informed about it (during the playoffs) said something like "We can't deal with this stuff right now because the team worked hard to get this far"

another as an assistant NHL coach *RAN* an illegal sports betting ring with MAFIA support from the Bruno/Scarfo mob family. The NHL let him back in, probably because Tochett was a good little soldier and never implicated Wayne Gretzky's involvement and that kind of loyalty and protection of the Great One is how he got back into the NHL.

Like damn... Jay Woodcroft out there thinking" Man, I need a better rap shet"

Apparantly Jimmy Murphy is reporting Tocchet is about to be hired by the Bruins.

GMDB about to be left on the sidelines without a dance partner, all their preferred choices already being snatched up.

Any promising high school coaches out there....? Let's think out of the box..lol

But seriously, 4 coaching changes (6 if you count interim coaches) in 10 years is an utter sick joke.

Sadly, that's exactly average.

NHL Coaches Have Been On Thin Ice All Season

Being a head coach in any professional sport is a good way to experience meager job security. But even relative to coaches in other sports, hockey’s bench bosse…

fivethirtyeight.com

According to research Peter Tanner conducted for FiveThirtyEight a few years ago, the average NHL coach stayed in his post for 2.4 seasons, which was roughly the same as the average for the NBA (2.3) and much shorter than the typical coaching tenures in the NFL (3.6) and MLB (3.8).

I wonder how much of that is skewed by Reid, Tomlin, and Belichick (assuming they don't count his week as head coach of the Jets).

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

So far these jabronis haven't said anything actually new.

Tocchet is their #1 (same with Pittsburgh and Boston), Jay McKee and Keith Jones' frat bro is just doing a buddy a solid by putting his name out there, and they've communicated interest in Jay Woodcroft.

"Would think they have a coach named by next week."

If true, this is good news for the Flyers...

We should send some cheesesteaks to Mass, as a show of gratitude

What exactly are they doing? Shaw or Lappy will end up as coach because they were too slow and lazy to run the process.

They're so confident in their superiority that they can't fathom Tocchet not choosing them.

If Tocchet can't see that the old bois club is the best answer then he's not part of the club....

I legitimately think that the Flyers think this.

Oh they absolutely do.

This is the funniest possible outcome. Their dream guy, a Flyers legend, a former NBCSP employee, choosing a different bad team.

How will they continue to delude themselves? They will! But how?

“I feel bad for Tocchet… well I don’t really feel bad for Tocchet when he comes to Philadelphia. It’s gonna be a rough ride here and he earned it. We’re Philadelphians and we want people who want to be here with us.”

"We entered this New Era of Orange with our Spiritual Leader at the helm where he helped build the foundation of our team but now it's time to move to the next step. We aligned ourselves with that vision and we can't think of any better coach to have here than Brad Shaw who has done so much for this roster already."

Not looking outside of the organization is pretty good in terms of shitposting after what they did with Briere and Jones.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

They are holding out for McJesus and Cooper.
