Maybe but very unlikely that was ever going to happen.

The Oilers in the Katz era have been a colossal failure.

Feel bad for Woody
I've never heard of knoblauch before today.
Since the 80's I've always found Coffey to be a knob (no pun intended). My feelings haven't changed throughout the years.

Silly rabbit. You should know by now that HFOil should be your first source for news.

Sutter is what Mcdrai need. And should have had eight years ago

Did a quick look around--sounds like the oilers spent the weekend talking to the rangers to get him. A talking heads believed they wanted him after the SJ game but rangers said no as they needed to do something on their end

"That's just like, your opinion, man"
On the surface this decisions has all the markings of a classic Oilers DoD move.
Star players’s ex junior coach…….FML…..
Old Oilers player with zero coaching gets an assistant gig…….
Fans deserve better than what we get with this franchise. The Cleveland Browns ain’t got nothing on us. Dysfunction is what we do best.

That's a dumb reason. Not that it matters since he was being let go anyway but to keep him after the San Jose game then fire him after a win just seems stupid to me but whatever, the problems as usual exist much higher than Woody anyway so this is like putting a cork in a sinking titanic.
Oh and Paul Coffey as assistant is just so Oilers.

"in favor of a higher-risk, higher-reward style that would allow his team to play more freely."A good article on Knoblauch:
Is Kris Knoblauch a viable candidate to be the next NY Rangers coach?
Players, coaches and executives who have worked closely with Kris Knoblauch weighed in on the emerging AHL Hartford coach.www.lohud.com
Draisaitl eyes widen when he realizes he can spam as many no look backhand passes across the ice lol

So, are we all agreed... If the new guy starts losing HFOil isn't allowed to start calling him "Knob+lick" until at least 2024. Let's at least give him a chance before we pull that one out.

EIG wasn't much better, but the expectations were much lower. They started the OBG when Lowe was quickly promoted to GM after the Nichols/Sather power struggle caused Sather to bolt to New York

Jeff Jackson must be hoping Knoblauch Jon Cooper's this team to a cup. It's all I got.
"I'm also told Brian McDavid has also been brought in to be a director of player personnel."
-Probably

Wasn't Knoblauch McDavid's junior coach? I'm sure he's super qualified.
Why would you need a multi-Cup winning coach when you can hire McDavid's hand picked coach? Knoblauch and Coffey is so Oilers it's not even funny.

Sounds like a good guy and all but playing “high risk high reward” is the last thing this team needs…A good article on Knoblauch:

I also thought this team was going to start hot considering all that talk over the summer so what the f*** do I know
Yes when McDavid and Draisaitl are performing like 4th liners and the goalies are awful it’s wrong to see the coach take the hit
The org went on and on about stability in the coaching position, this is Hollands third coach in four years

Spector is a little rat. Hope some players tell him to f*** off one day.

Re-defining Rock Bottom since '07
Knoblauch is also very Western Canada/Edmonton. Played junior here, former U of A grad, grew up in Sask. Probably unironically cheered for Paul Coffey as a kid, what a treat and incredible conflict to coach with your idol.
My biggest concern with this whole schtik is why we refused to get a seasoned coach for this group - even over the offseason to work with Woody. Good luck to the rookie head coach (sorry, had 6 games with the Rangers by COVIDway), but may not be the best time to learn the NHL game. Guess we'd be up in arms if Julien or Vigneaut was here, too.
