News Article: Paul Maurice resigns

[None]

Noel, Maurice, Lowry?

Lowry's title includes interim. As of now he's a placeholder auditioning for the job.

 

[Benjamin Doveridge]

No EI or severance for Pomo because he quit. Maybe the Jets will pay for his lunch at his going away luncheon.

 

[surixon]

Noel, Maurice, Lowry?

Noel predated him here, Noel was Chipman's guy.

 

[AKAChip]

This is the happiest day we’ve had in a long time.

Any good will Paul earned for that one magical season has long since eroded. I only hope it’s not too late to salvage Scheifele. Wheeler can enjoy his home on the fourth line for the remainder of his contract.

For the love of god hire someone that will play the kids. This is finally an exciting time to be a Jets fan again.

 

[Afterburner]

If a nuclear weapon ever obliterates Canada Life Centre, I want to be standing next to Huddy.

Truth. Huddy has some of the heaviest plot armor in the whole league it seems

 

[Channelcat]

It's hilarious that even in his dismissal Maurice can't stop bullshitting

 

[surixon]

Yeah, I think a lot of people's memories about Lowry as a coach comes from that one WJC when Canada did really poorly.

There is no one experienced head coach without a job that I'm super interested in right now. I have no issue with seeing what Lowry can do with this team as an interim.

I'll miss Paul. He is a great guy. I just don't think he was the right coach with this team anymore. It was time.

I would have preferred Vincent if he was still here but I think Lowry if he is able to get the assertiveness up at 5 on 5 and on the PK will have success here the remaining of the year. We can evaluate and see who is out there in the offseason if need be.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Chevy is on coach #2 now... The rope on the GM just got shorter.

Lol. He's our David Poile.

People think Chipman gonna go put his own ass on the line a few weeks back with the ppl trying to cancel Chevy not long ago issue and think his rope is shorter? Lol

Chevy has likely got the longest rope you've seen in your life.. as long as Poiles for sure

 

[Atoyot]

The thing is... without having a replacement for Maurice ( and the rest of the staff IMO ) and we play the rest of the season with a intern-Head Coach, all we have done is write off the rest of the season.

Lowry takes over the reigns, but he's been here a while, so how is his message or voice going to be any different? It won't be IMO. Sure, maybe we see the initial "coach gets fired team plays better" push for a few games, but after that, what really changes?

Without bringing in that new voice, I see nothing changing.

His voice doesn't have to line up with Maurice's anymore.

 

[AlaskaJet]

So you’re saying between the options of being fired and getting paid and resigning and not, he chose to resign and not get paid? The guy has been around enough and been fired enough times I doubt it would matter to him. Especially given his length of time with the jets.

No one is saying there is no financial arrangement accompanying what is pr’d as “resignation”.

 

[DRW204]

His voice doesn't have to line up with Maurice's anymore.

yup. lowry worked under maurice's direction. he could have a totally different view on this team and how lines are structured/style of play. i doubt he took his original job w/o some sort alignment w/ maurice's views, however, perhaps over the past couple months he's seen what hasn't worked and has new ideas.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

His voice doesn't have to line up with Maurice's anymore.

Bingo.

He calls the shots now, that makes his voice completely different.

If he does the same things as Paul and changes nothing, then he will have failed.

 

[Benjamin Doveridge]

Tonight Adam Lowry will now be our 1C between Connor and Ehlers lol

 

[imec]

Maybe a bit of a lump of coal for BooBoo...

 

[buyinnow]

Tonight Adam Lowry will now be our 1C between Connor and Ehlers lol

how many more times will we have to read this lame joke.

 

[None]

Well I'm glad Joe Pascucci has zero connections because he threw out Randy Carlyle's name pretty confidently on twitter.

 

[MardyBum]

I'm fine with Lowry for this season. If he performs well maybe remove the interim tag. If not look for a better coach in the offseason.

Huddy is going to outlive Mo, Chevy, and hell probably Chipman with the Jets.

 

[Pongs21]

Bitter sweet moment. I liked Maurice and will miss his pressers, but a change was sorely needed at this point. Huddy needs to go as well

 

[Al Camino]

Jim Toth on CJOB saying Jim Toth things again. Claims Paul Maurice is excellent at developing young players.

 

[SensibleGuy]

yeah Huddy's time is up afaic.

 

[jgimp]

I appreciate everything he did here and wish him the best. That said, this is a great opportunity for TNSE and the Jets to really thrive and I’m glad that Maurice has moved on.


Thanks for everything Paul and best wishes

 

[Guerzy]

This may have been Paul's choice, but Chevy sure seems like he seen this coming. For a man who says everything but nothing at the same time, it seems a bit telling. Paul's days were numbered.

I fear the Jets will do just enough to either make or barely miss the playoffs under the classic new coach bump and it will be enough to hire Lowry long term without exploring their full options.

It would be an undeniably classic Jets move.

Charlie Huddy has managed to collect an NHL paycheck for 42 years. Let that sink in.

 

[AlaskaJet]

It makes sense to me that whomever is brought in to replace him will get to decide who they bring in as special teams staff.

I sure hope so! Can’t wait for accountability to rear its head in the coming year, even for the rest of the season
