Is this the shortest head coach tenure ever?

 

[Marioesque]

"Expected to". It didn't happen yet

Such a good coach, such a bad human...

Mike Babcock resigns as Blue Jackets head coach following photo controversy

Mike Babcock will resign as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday.

Friedman:

According to multiple sources, one of the most serious concerns was a meeting that occurred away from team facilities that included “several minutes” of looking through a phone. That was beyond the scope of what was initially understood to have occurred.

But Spittin Chiclets is full of liars and Babcock did nothing wrong! This is a nothing story and Boone Jenner and the PR department confirmed it!

Don’t be so quick to discredit people just because the PR department rushes in with a statement.

Happened with Hockey Canada, happened with the Kyle Beach investigation, and now with Babcock.

Bye bye Mike and all the Boomers that defended your exploiting of power dynamics and privacy violations on teenagers.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Bro WHAT

 

[Breakers]

This guy has serious issues that he needs to resolve

Why he does these mind games with players is beyond me

They serve no purpose in what he is hired to do which is coach and implement systems.

Now the interesting stuff begins...

Why did Jenner and Gaudreau (as leaders of the team) not do any due diligence and speak to the rest of the players before issuing a horseshit response.

How long does Jarmo have left?

 

[fragmag]

Are we going to find out what actually happened? I hope so because there is a lot more going on than what we know.

 

[LOFIN]

Wasn't expecting this. Something big must've turned up besides the original report.

Well, maybe JD and Jarmo should be gone too?

[IronHalen]

Insane reaction to such a minor incident lol.

Glad to see Spitting Chicklets stand for cancel culture though. I'm sure there's no way that could backfire on them lol.

lol?

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Didn't last past the icebreakers lmao

Even as one of the many, many people that knew this was a bad hire that’d inevitably end in hilarious disaster, I was expecting him to at least coach some games.

Urban freaking Meyer lasted longer in Jacksonville than Babcock in Columbus.

Perhaps a teachable moment about not rushing to defend a career villain from allegations.

People can only go off the information present at the time. And it did initially come off as a couple of guys with an agenda trying to push a narrative.

 

[DAkings20]

Jarmo and JD should get the packling slip, what a bad decision from the get go

Woof.

Now Jarmo needs to be fired.

 

[Pavels Dog]

But.. there was a PR statement..

 

[JoelWarlord]

I expected something like this to happen with Babcock at some point but I really did not see him resigning before coaching even a single preseason game. Incredible stuff.

 

[LOFIN]

Should probably strip the C off Jenner as well, considering his stance in all of this.

Hey Folks,

We got a shiny new thread, let’s try and keep it civil. Report something you feel is over the top instead of replying. Thanks!
