Will Smith's condition for joining the Sharks: no BU alums. Grier's next.
I wouldn’t mind Jay Woodcroft. I also liked Mclellan and don’t think it would be a bad idea to bring him back. I also would love if like…Joe Thornton was given the job with Marleau next to him on the bench!
Jim Montgomery had pretty immediate success
Noooo, not Sharkie!I'll also drop this here. I know of one more person in the org who was informed they wouldn't be coming back next season that hasn't been announced yet.
Kingston would be hilarious. I could see hiring an old fan favorite player as meat for the grinder next year... Wardo or Sturm would be fun. No idea if any good as coaches.Other former Sharks players and/or coaches who may be available:
George Kingston
Joel Ward (VGK AC)
Marco Sturm (AHL Ontario HC)
I'm just not sure why he'd take the job. I guess it's the only vacant NHL position?I hope it's David Carle - the current HC for University of Denver.
A fair few college football guys. Jim Harbaugh, notably. Barry Switzer. Pete Carroll, but he had to fail in the NFL first and then come back from college. Chip Kelley was good, and then mediocre. Bill O'Brien did OK.Not to be the bearer of bad news, but when is the last time a college coach (like straight out of college) succeeded in the pros of any sport?
Huh? It was a direct quote:Sick straw man argument when nobody has said anything about any certainty about any coaching candidate. Par for the course.
While I'm 1000% convinced the next HC will be (And should be) Ryan Warsofsky, there was a lost opportunity with Lindy Ruff.
Why do you think he was shafted in Edmonton? He had one good season (Like most NHL coaches do when they join a new team) then his team came out of the gates competing with San Jose and Chicago for the worst team in the league.I do think Jay did get a bit shafted with Edmonton
Berube
Carle
Evason (original Shark)
Gallant
Love
Nasreddine
Woodcroft
Not a fan of that idea...seems like a piece of shit who whipped up one of the dirtiest teams in awhile with the Blues. No thanks.Berube makes a lot of sense. Hard ass coach who can get maximum effort from the roster for a few years before he's inevitably replaced by the guy who's actually going to be The Guy for us.
If you can't beat em, join em. We've been a "turn the other cheek" team for too long.Not a fan of that idea...seems like a piece of shit who whipped up one of the dirtiest teams in awhile with the Blues. No thanks.
I think SJ can find a hard-ass coach to accomplish what you were asking for without hiring a huge piece of shit like BerubeIf you can't beat em, join em. We've been a "turn the other cheek" team for too long.

You're right.. F*ck.How did he get fired before McCarthy
Guy's gonna be a player-coach-GM right off the bat.Will Smith's condition for joining the Sharks: no BU alums. Grier's next.

Gallant is not a good coach.Gallant did make Vegas a pretty nasty team to play against. Do people dislike him? I really don’t like his face but I don’t hate what he did with that team, especially at the beginning.
Tocchet was head coach for the Lighting and the Yotes, and assistant coach for the penguins (back to back cups) prior to his TV gig.Carle, Gallant, Evason sounds good. Black Coaches are not out of the question here. Kevin Weeks, Anson Carter and P. K. Subban come to mind. Remember Rick Tocchet (not black) came out from the TNT broadcast booth and coach the Canucks?
