Can't believe Flyers went with Yeo. The guy had some good rosters in Minnesota and St. Louis but could do nothing with it.
St. Louis went from worst to a Stanley Cup after he left. OBC tenure is unreal. Once a member, always a member.

Torts + Philly would be incredibly entertaining. Already picturing him trying to attack the Pens locker room.
Just in time to take over in Montreal! Go get him Gorts!
Less than a week after GM said everything is fine.
That’s credibility in leadership.
why do they keep the spin cycle on all these retread coaches.
I was just thinking back to when the Rangers fired Torts to replace him with AV. I think the opposite will now happen in Philly nearly a decade later.Less than a week after GM said everything is fine.

More than a couple people have referenced Homer. He's gone. Chuck Fletcher is President/GM. His only boss is the CEO who represents Comcast, and he doesn't give a damn.
Trust me, it's a nothing role. He does not have the power to fire Chuck. Also, your history is off. He didn't become GM until 15 years after he was coach. He was Assistant GM when Clarke abruptly resigned early in the last place season. He was promoted to President as a way to not lose Hexy(oops), which was inconsequential until Snider died, at which point Homer got a lot of power with ownership now indifferent.Homers not gone. After his average career as a player ended he became coach. After doing a mediocre job as a coach he was promoted to GM. After doing a terrible job as a GM he was promoted to president. Where he hired Chuck Fletcher, who'd done as equally lousy a job in Minnesota. Buy hey, that's where Homers from so...
And all that less than vanilla work got him into the Flyers Hall of Fame. That's setting the bar for Limbo.
Now he's Senior Advisor to Dave Scott, who's as poor a hockey man as Holmgren.
Maybe the Flyers and Nucks can do a swap? That's the NHL way!
Nobody can top the Canadiens in the recycling department.I was just thinking back to when the Rangers fired Torts to replace him with AV. I think the opposite will now happen in Philly nearly a decade later.
This is AV's M.O. Starts off hot with a new team and then eventually his message falls on deaf ears.
Rinse. Repeat.
Mike Yeo brings a system... a system that cannot allow players to think or create for themselves, as those involve risks... Yeo and his system are very risk averse. Play his system.. and nothing else... or you won't get icetime.What does Mike Yeo bring though?
Never understood the Yeo hype.
What were they supposed to do? They don't have a new coach lined up yet and Yeo was already there as an assistant coach. He might finish out the year since there's no way they turn it around with this roster but we all know he's not the long-term answer. It was easier to just slot him in as the interim HC until they hopefully find somebody worth hiring.Can't believe Flyers went with Yeo.
