All Encompassing Head Coach Search Thread

I really would love it if this organization didn't feel the need to do things that infuriate me all of the time.

Not asking for much. Just here and there something that makes sense and has actual thought behind it.

I am truly baffled how Tocchet is viewed as this amazing coach. Well, i'm not actually baffled because I know that people that run professional sports franchises are dumbasses a lot of the time.

People liked to call Tortorella a winner and as shitty as his resume is it's still far and a way better than Rick Tocchet's who is also labeled a winner (despite never actually winning ANYTHING).

BLAHHHHHHH

100% this, who is wowed by his scintillating (/s) tenure with Vancouver?

Also, per a Friedman interview earlier he is not interested in the Seattle job. Bullet dodged, but now we need some voodoo to make sure he doesn't end up in Philly either. C'mon Boston, you know you want him the most!

I’d rather have Shaw than most of these options tbh. Much easier to move on from when the time comes.

Honestly would be a more economically viable option. Even on the realistic optimistic scale for these next couple of seasons you’re probably going to be a mediocre roster. So why pay top dollar now?

They basically did the same thing with AV & Tortorella. After next year that’s essentially $14M in contract these guys had not to coach here & both deserved to go sooner than they actually did.

But this is the Flyers. They’re not realistic & they just think throwing a ton of money at something means they’re actually getting the quality out of it when often times that hasn’t been the case.

Honestly, the Flyers probably don't even view him as an amazing coach, it's just name recognition and that he was a former Flyer so all the old, authentics will eat it up and the Flyers are hoping that will be enough for the next couple of years.

The best that the organization can hope for next season is to being able to play some exciting hockey with young faces on the ice Even when the Flyers lose, if it's exciting, the fans can go home happy. Tocchet's losing style of dump and chase game will be boring to watch as we saw with Tortorella. That will lead to a lot of empty seats after January 1.

Can't wait to see the massive contract the Flyers throw at Tocchet :rolleyes:

Hopefully he signs elsewhere, just so the idiots running this team have to deal with the reality of the Flyers not being a premiere destination like they romanticize it to be.

The Flyers are sweetening the pot by adding a hair transplant contract rider...

This team is so disgustingly predictable.....

Tocchet is also more of a former Penguin than a Flyer...

He trashed the Flyers when he got traded...will never forget that treachery.

I still maintain Lappy and Shaw are the best case scenario. There are 2-3 coaches that are considered good in the NHL and still many maintain they suck and should be fired.

It’s a real shame the Phantoms didn’t advance to the next round… could’ve had Tocchet and Lappy drop the gloves at the first intermission of the next home game. Winner gets the 6 year / 6MM per head coaching contract!

That's the only thing that would make this coaching "search" worth it
 
1. get Hughes from Vancouver HERE for the 6th pick overall plus(drysdale?)
2. sign Tocchet
3. Hughes is only 25 yrs old and in his prime for at least 5 more yrs.
4. maybe Ersson is a #1 goalie eventually .
5. If the above happens they'll be playoff bound in no time with the young players knocking on the door.
now's the time to invest while MM is still young and build around him !!

Shaw on a short-term deal vs Tocchet on a long-term one is a no-brainer. Shaw all the way. Guys like Cooper and Brind'Amour could shake loose over the next few years and there's no rush to finding a win-now coach.

This organization is always 1 year too early or 1 year too late on everything (draft, UFA's, coaches, management, etc).

Bad news comes in three's (so far we have dropped in the draft and Tocchet as likely incoming coach), I wonder what the drops next...

The Flyers excel at looking busy and being big spenders, while never ever moving the needle. It’s all about telling stories, to the fans and themselves. So, why wouldn’t a bottom 5 team sign a mediocre Flyers guy coach to the biggest contract?

They just finished paying Alain Vigneault $25MM last year too. 😂

Alain and Michel are still on a beach somewhere drinking martinis:
