[Tasteless Beaver]

Another loyalty pick, color me surprised.

Boo.

Roll it back more of the same I guess. Cause it worked well in the regular season at least.

 

[Lorenzo1000]

I remember the complaints when they hired Bowness and it turned out pretty well. Lose in the Playoffs to the eventual Stanley Cup Champs - Vegas Cheaters and then get steamrolled by the Avs with an oddly determined Nicushkin, Makar and Mackinnon. Can't say I'm a fan of the playoff seeding but I'll give Arniel a chance at least. Besides which who was available that actually wanted to coach the Jets? Top couple of candidates were already gone and Todd Nelson's team is still playing.

 

[Siludin]

He probably deserves another chance at an HC position - CBJ was a train wreck and he'll have more to work with in Winnipeg.
The teams he has been associate/assistant coach have gone to the playoffs every year for the past decade except once (2017/2018 Rangers)

 

[The Nuge]

Seems like a fine choice. Bowness had them playing up to their potential so he already knows roughly what he needs to do

 

[ItWasJustified]

From the outside it didn't look like the Jets missed a beat when he came in to be the head coach while Bowness was on leave.

Hope this works out for you. The unknown in hiring an unknown coach. It makes you wonder if this is cost saving management at its cheapest hour. The jets fans deserve better imo.

I'm not very excited about this when there are a lot of good coaches without jobs.

 

[GoJackets1]

I assume Arniel has learned a lot in the last 10 years but he was absolutely awful with the Jackets.

 

[HockeyVirus]

This seems like it will end poorly

 

[Hunter368]

As a Jets fan, not excited by this hire in the least. Disappointing TBH

 

[Lions67]

This seems like it will end poorly

All coaching hires eventually end poorly.
Usually

 

[Chainshot]

Good for him, hope he does well.

You can't turn shit into gold.

The roster he was working with in Columbus was absolutely pathetic.

Commodore is a human rash

When Commodore played in Columbus he (as usual) couldn't cut it, so Arniel did what every other person who has coached this loser did: healthy scratch his talentless ass.

And of course, as usual, Commodore whined in the media, pretending he deserved to play and moved on to his next team, expecting it would get better.

His next stop was Detroit and Babcock.

He's not any cheaper than any coach who's available and likely willing to come here would be.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Has Commodore been holding this grudge for 14 years lol

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

This didn't surprise me one bit.

 

[Hobble]

What we really need is new assistant coaches to fix our horrible PP/PK. Arniel will probably do alright if he coaches with his head instead of his gut.

Maybe, but it should be noted that he was replaced by Todd Richards and the team was immediately much better.

Was not a fan at all during his time in Columbus.

CBJ was a train wreck because almost all players regressed under Arniel. He's awful as a head coach. Well, was he can have improved obviously.
