Rumours swirl around Paul Maurice's future with Jets
This is a very eye catching headline. I haven't read it though and I won't because I tend to not pay for news. Anyone want to dive into the details?

Not sure what that article says but Maurice to Seattle was mentioned as a rumor on The Athletic this morning.

118-61-17 record as our head coach. Man thats some great goaltending.
He has a very strong connection to Seattle gm Ron Francis. So there's that coupled with this being his last year under contract to the Jets. Minus the fact that he's currently building a multi million dollar house in south Winnipeg.

If you really want to get into reading tea leaves, why not check out the roster of the St. Mary's Flames?

He has been great for the Jets. No doubt about it! I'm under no illusion that a new coach comes with less problems but sometimes a team needs fresh leadership. Paul got two shots at a title with a championship caliber roster and failed (arguably not his fault) but he has already had more chances than most coaches ever get. There shouldn't be anything controversial about wanting a coaching change when he is in his 6th season (2nd longest of any current NHL coaches) and still hasn't brought the cup to Winnipeg.
The organization is not going to look at it that way. Maurice got the team to the playoffs his first full season, then went along with the organization's plan to get younger, faster and more skilled and was willing to coach a very young but skilled team. He was willing to take a step back and develop a young core over a 2 season period. Since the start of the 2017-18 season when most agree the Jets hit their contention window Maurice has coached the team to a 118-61-17 record. This is a .645 points % which works out to an average of 106 points per season. This season he has helped keep the team competitive despite the loss of some pretty significant players, especially on defense. During that time he has dealt with the "ruffled feathers" issue and by all accounts has got it back to a very tight room.
It is only pockets on this board that don't acknowledge that Maurice has actually done a really good job and no organization would set him loose at this time unless he decided to take a more lucrative offer. Since he is under contract no one can make that offer. My belief is at some point this season the organization will make an announcement that Maurice and Chevy have been extended. My take is it someone in the Seattle organization leaking thoughts on what type of coach they are looking for is the source of the rumours.

I mean.. I agree with all of that and I actually do think he has been very good for the Jets. I don't think wanting a change automatically means you think he has been bad here. At least not for me... Championship teams in all sports change out their coach all the time (Patriots being an exception) so don't think anything I wrote was controversial and it doesn't mean he was a bad coach. Fresh eyes, fresh communication and fresh ways practicing can make a difference. I don't know about you but I see it as school teachers. If you made a bad first impression it's sometimes really hard to change their mind about you even if you improve greatly after a year or two. Humans tend to get stuck in their ways. Coaches are middle managers so I actually think Chevy is way more important imo. The bolded is funny because most people listen to their boss when they ask for something
Either way I think he has done a solid job this season and I hope they move on from him when his contract is up
when asked for comment about his 700th so quickly win as a coach, to paraphrase pomo, "it was because of the talent on the team!"

Yes it can make a difference - it could just as easily get much worse. In fact, if Mo is "very good" for the Jets, you are rolling the dice in hopes that "fresh" will be even better.
I don't buy into the theory that New is Better when it comes to coaching - it's a baseless assumption.
But being willing to step back comes with a lot of risk for a coach. He may have the support of the GM to take a step back and develop the young prospects, but you are then also the first casualty if the pressure mounts on the organization to make changes. I will agree that Maurice was in a better spot than most coaching for a patient and methodical GM and within an organization that puts a strong emphasis on loyalty.I mean..

Throughout sports history most championship teams have had stable and long term leadership at the coaching and GM levels and only swap out when a team underachieves for a period of time. It certainly doesn't happen when the general consensus is that a team has preformed to a level far above expectations.
Which is exactly the right answer. Good leaders always give the credit to those that have worked to help them achieve personal success.
