Speculation: Offseason coaching thread: Should they stay or should they go?

[Icarium]

Just rename the team to the Pittsburgh Sullies until that fool finally leaves.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

I find it a little odd there hasn't been any confirmation from Friedman, LeBrun, Dreger, or any of the other national guys. Staple is pretty decent, but still.

Or maybe I'm just blindly hoping he's off base.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Mike Vellucci is from Michigan, so he'll be the next to be fired.

 

[HandshakeLine]

lol nothing ever changes

 

[Gurglesons]

yay. more friends.

We really hiring the Sully twin to run the PP? Can't wait to see it at the bottom again.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Dave Quinn is a bum of a coach

 

[DesertedPenguin]

yay. more friends.

He just stepped down as Northern Michigan head coach today to pursue professional opportunities.

He's a .500 coach in college hockey with a little bit of US Junior Team assistant coaching experience.

If he's the head coach at Wilkes, it'd be even more underwhelming than Quinn joining Sullivan's staff. The only silver lining would be that he was above .500 at Northern Michigan, which has absolutely ZERO resources compared to Bemidji State, Minnesota State Mankato, etc.

But that's really stretching it.

Big moves by Kyle Dubas. Once we are patient this guy really gonna prove me wrong.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Good thing we gave Kyle two paychecks and two titles to just greenlight Mike Sullivan’s decisions.

 

[HandshakeLine]

people wrote me off as being overly cynical here but I think I undershot the mark, given that the front office is being even more craven than I thought possible.

Just rename the team to the Pittsburgh Sullies until that fool finally leaves.

Or rename Pittsburgh, Sullyburgh.

Sounding more likely that this is the hire…

I've never been less excited for this franchise than I do right now.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Don't worry guys he's just overseeing the defense so that somehow actually makes this good or something.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

I like that the pic they chose is the same face I'm making.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Not working on the defense. Not improving it. Overseeing it.

Kyle Dubas... Just Be Patient.

it worked in Toronto.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Why not Danny Quinn, Harley Quinn or Michaela Quinn?

 

[Turin]

Well if he’s not the powerplay guy that’s good

 

[66-30-33]

Will be play as antman for this team? looks similarish to Paul Rudd.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Good thing we gave Kyle two paychecks and two titles to just greenlight Mike Sullivan’s decisions.

I think we all underestimated how smart Dubas is. Dubas gets paid all that money to do absolutely nothing because Sullivan just runs the team anyway.

It's actually my dream job. Get paid millions and have someone else do all the work for me.

Sounds like my job...get paid to sit in the shitter half your shift while everyone else covers for you and you still get paid.
