He wasn't. He was a Drury hire.
Gorton was fired in May. Gallant was hired a month and a half later in June.

While it is super prevalent in hockey, this is really not limited to hockey.

Da foxhole jamais parti. I honestly don't remember what was Gallant's record with Rags and the Panthers. I mean he got canned by both. I don't even know what kind of coach is he. Is he "let's less Xhekaj loose" kind of coach or "let's be a good boi" kind of coach?

Gallant was hired by Drury.
Gorton was fired May 5th 2021, Gallant was hired June 14th 2021.
I doubt Gallant wants to come back to Montréal and last I heard, he wants to be head coach (even if he never managed to last more than ~3 seasons).

We can agree or disagree with and if they hire Gallant as assistant but not the fact MSL is drowning and needs help
Why are you undoing MrB1p's drama?

Your 2nd to last sentence says it all.
We spent a decade roasting Bergevin for exactly that. Let's not be this way.
At the end of the day MSL isn't in charge overall and management needs to put the team before little Marty's enlarged ego.

Good, at least we're looking elsewhere then.
One of the best coaches available let s see if he joins the ship. I d be surprised if he accepted an assistant position at this stage but who knows…

Very good record with the rangers, two seasons above 100 points but left after playoff failure if I recall correctly.

I remember Gallant being thought of generally positively. I went back to the old thread when Florida poached him from me and the comments are mixed, but lots of positivity, and a few people mentioning he was responsible for tactics and communication.

Confirmed with Link: - Panthers confirm Gerard Gallant is their new head coach.
Pierre McGurie mentioned on TSN radio that Gerard Gallant could potentially take a head coaching job. I'm assuming an NHL team, if not NHL I can't see him going to the AHL. Thoughts? A few new names have been added to the Panthers' candidate list, including Detroit Red Wings assistant Bill...

Gallant can do all the coaching and St. Louis can handle the babysitting, philosophy class and therapy sessions

I get that but honestly, this is a close world, everybody knows everybody in these circles.
I would take Gallant with open arms, imo, he's the best coach MTL had in these last 15 years.

I am not sure but he doesn't last long anywhere as head coach whereas he seems to do well as an assistant. Bringing him back would be huge.
