Seriously though - yeah - Jones is Mickey Mouse - but are their any data points to show Briere will suck? I mean - everyone laughed when the Eagles hired Siriani.

He's responsible for the Deslauriers move and the Flyers think he's competent.

We are at the point where anyone the Flyers think is competent is clearly not. This isn't the Eagles. This is the Commanders.

Unlike the Eagles, the Flyers do not have a recent track record of success that’s earned them have any benefit of the doubt. They are an organization that only know how to do things wrong, and doing the same things over and over again, are to assumed that they are wrong until something other than failure is actually achieved.
 
A well conducted thorough hiring process

I again point out they didn't hire a VP so Flahr remains Briere's boss while also being his subordinate. It's all very logical. They want as few people in management as possible. The advisors threw a fit when they weren't involved. By having nobody else to talk to, Briere will have to go to them. It's sick.
 
I don't want it to fail. I want the team to succeed. The hard reality is that it cannot succeed. Last time we hired a new president I said the same thing, because it was really obvious based on everything he'd ever done that Fletcher could only ever fail too. I was right. I've ended up being right about everything you've pushed back at me on for years.
No, I want it to fail. I'm actively rooting for them to lose. It's not the Flyers hockey club anymore, it's a pension plan. Until they're the Flyers, I hate it.

Stupidity is embedded in this team's DNA. That's why the org chart is a double helix.

But at least the Commanders are being sold, their fans at least have some hope for the future. Flyers are stuck with Comcast , till death do us part...
 
posted this in the NHL Talk and I'm posting here too .....

Jones is a great choice with his sense of humor.....maybe everybody in the organization will relax a bit and just do their jobs and not overthink everything.....
it's freeking ice hockey for Gods sake.
Jonesy knows the game, it's quite obvious when he was broadcasting nationally .
I like the hire ! :teach2: .....
