All Encompassing Head Coach Search Thread

AGM/VP Lappy, after getting removed from being behind the bench.

Senior Advisor by then, after 10 glorious years as Director of Analytics.

What is the flyers organizational philosophy? What do they value?

They are an amorphous blob

Bucci also said that David Carle was going to the Hawks so . . . not so fast here.

They are an amorphous blob

1.) Did you play for the Flyers?

2.) Do you have a wildly overrated league reputation?

3.) When you’re fired, will you never coach/manage in the league again?

If you answered “Yes” to all of those questions, welcome aboard. Billion dollar lemonade stand does billion dollar lemonade stand things.

GM Laughton, President Couturier, AGM/VP Flahr, and Comcast Spectacor CEO IBXBOTv2.4 will hire Seeler as head coach, and we’ll say, “Maybe one day.”

For the record, Clarke_AI_Version3.5 knew that Seeler was the wrong choice. All the Flyers scouts wanted Deslauriers as their next head coach.

The Flyers are probably so upset Berube went on to be decent and got away, and are convinced that means all of the above is correct

How is Berube 2 years younger than Tocchet?! He won the Cup 7 years ago.

That was 7 years ago? That's upsetting

Guys, hiring a coach is hard. They had a list of 17 names.

They didn't interview any of them and are going to hire 1 of the 3 that they are pals with, but...it took a while to think of all those names. Exhaustive, you could call it

Former Canucks coach Vigneault, hired by Flyers.

Former Canucks coach Tortorella, hired by Flyers.

Former Canucks coach Tocchet, hired by Flyers.

If there's any organization that the Flyers should be hiring coaches from over the last 15 years, the Canucks are certainly at the top of that list.

They flipped a coin between Buffalo and Vancouver and the Nucks won.

Two franchises with zero Cups and all of 4 finals appearances in over a hundred seasons.

The clown show just rolls on and on.

“We were sitting by the phones waiting to hear from any and all head coaching candidates, but Tocc was the only one who reached out.”

Clarke tried calling Shero, Quinn and Neilson on his rotary phone, but thankfully Holmgren had the nurse put him to bed.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Many people have jumped the gun during the social media era but if it’s true the Flyers don’t seem like a good roster for the dump and chase. Maybe only Tippett and TK would be decent on the forecheck. If Tocchet is the coach I would hope he would use Michkov like he used Hughes, albeit on the half boards. If Tocchet ends up heavily depending on the backend to develop offense, it could be ugly

 

[Flyerfan4life]

did they actualy hire Tocc. ? i dont see anything..

 

[Larry44]

Is this guy available?

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Slightly off topic but I’ve always wondered if some management teams ever do leak checks by feeding different people different stories and seeing which people blab to the media

The Flyers have no need for that. Jonesy is always the leak. And the rest of the braintrust is enthusiastic about his leaking. They love that the beat writers will repeat word for word the talking points they come up with to explain their boneheaded decisions.

 

[TheKingPin]

The worst part if this is true is that they are still predictable and they will draft Brady Martin with the 6th pick.

 

[trostol]

things wont change til ownership does...they will continue on the cronyism with former players

 

[Striiker]

They're going to continue to fail and be embarrassed, but that's great because it's exactly what they deserve. 99.9% of the fans deserve it too.

Things will never get better either, since it's completely rotten and incompetent all the way to the tippity-top.

Firing the coach doesn't matter when the GM in charge of replacing them is an idiot.
Firing the GM doesn't matter when the president in charge of replacing them is an idiot.
Firing the president doesn't matter when the owner in charge of replacing them is an idiot.
And who fires and replaces the owner?
