Does Joe Sacco Deserve to be Officially the HC of the Bruins in 2025 2026

Sacco inherited a shitshow and I don't blame him at all for anything that happened this season. But I see him as a guy that's somewhere between an assistant and a head coach, not what we need while we're still in flux between a rebuild/retool. I have no idea what goes on in the locker room but he seems like a stopgap.

Don't see management pulling the plug and committing to a multi year stretch of sucking. In any scenario I don't think he's the guy. Not an ideal situation for us or him and he likely finds a new team this summer.

Todd Nelson, Nate Leaman, David Carle in no particular order since I don't know enough about each to warrant an opinion (except that they have some success under their belts). New thoughts, new ideas, NEW, newness, fresh NEW. If that fresh coach fails, meh, just get a rethread. Love that new coach smell.
Okay ummm, I've regained control over myself. But, NEW.
Either way, I'm sorry but Sacco looks like he's completely worn out. Physically, mentally worn out. I feel for the guy. I don't think I'd fire him but he wouldn't be returning behind the bench. Put hi in a cushy job to reward him for his loyalty to the organization.
There must be a job in the organization that he can do if he wants to stay here. Light Neely's cigars etc. He can be like Alan Brady's brother-in-law in the Dick Van Dyke Show. If not he can "explore his opportunities."
Only Goalie's Bob & Mike get to stay.
Not sure what McQuaid's job is but I guess he can stay as a pugilists coach.

At this point just give me someone who can come up with a better defensive system than this "hand-off" scheme Sacco and Co. have devised. Watching TB zip the puck around the Bruins defensive zone for almost entire periods last night was embarrassing.

Couldn't get this team straightened out defensively and part of that is on him. That is what he's being paid good money to do and he failed at it.

And he's been part of the coaching team for over 10 years, it's not like he needed time to adapt.

Exactly he already had a decent idea of what he had to work with and had established relationships with many of the players, including the leadership group.
 
It's not that I think he's done a bad job overall, but I think if there are better options available at season's end, management needs to hire someone new; someone who:
  • works well with young players (because turning even two or three of our young players/prospects into solid contributors - much the way Lohrei is – will go a long way to making this team better, and avoid the need to trade assets for outside players)
  • Has experience coaching in the playoffs
  • Has a track record of motivating teams to play to their utmost capacity

Tells his team to hit someone and block shots
