Speculation: Potential Coaching Replacements for Jim Montgomery

[mikelvl]

I think that Leach obviously agreed to return for a reason. I'm sure Jacobs hasn't soured on Monty overnight. That playoff series the season before last probably started it. And last year's playoffs reinforced it, deserved or not.

What was his quote once, 'I know one thing, I wouldn't want to be Dave Lewis right now'

If they lost in OT of game 7 against the leafs, do you think Montgomery would be the coach right now? I'd say it'd be 50/50 at best for him.

Mike Babcock

Are you willingly trying to forget what happened in Columbus and Toronto with Babcock (see Kadri's new book), or do you not know? People suggesting Babcock are more surprising to me than those proposing Q, though in the latter's case it's more predictable unfortunately.

Agreed, two straight years of playoff disaster would have finished him then and there. Obviously he's not Jacobs cup of tea, probably not Neely's either.

I can't stand to look at or listen to Mike Babcock, hell no...

If they lose badly to Carolina tonight IMO Monty's got to go. I know, only 11 games in and 2 outstanding regular seasons previous but this team's lack of effort has been so glaring its becoming obvious the players have tuned him out. I can't think of another reason why they play like they don't care.

I'm sure if Monty is fired then Jay Leach gets promoted, that's why they brought him here.

Well maybe that is another one of the problems, having a guy breathing down Montys neck, to go along with some other distractions this year.

In season coaching change they will name Sacco as interim Coach since he is already an associate. Season's end it will come down to Jay Leach, Jay Pandolfo and David Quinn. As to me,it seems Sweeney scouts the NCAA more that anywhere else.

Do you think Julien would have been fired if the Bruins had lost in Game 7 against the Habs in 2011?

Probably. But it wouldn’t have been the right move.

Two consecutive years Montgomery has the Bruins overachieve. He blew it HARD in the playoffs a year ago. These last playoffs - not on him.

I think he’s eating a lot of shit for making some decisions one may disagree with… and 11 games of suboptimal results. But his resume is much stronger than a dozen games.

It’s frustrating to watch right now. I think we’re trying to solve the wrong problem.

Especially if you are happy we're you are.

Agreed.
