Considering there hasn't been one, I'm going with no, last one would have been for stillman. Don't recall duncanson being a long one, they made Ken interm then a couple weeks later brought in Derek, then replaced Derek with Ken again.

i was at a tournament where paps was bragging about how great his hires are. every coach hes hired ahs been the best one in the league.

I wouldn't call any of his hires the best by any means. I just mean there hasn't been an extensive search recently and there's a difference between great candidates and a great coach

no, he does. thats what im sayin,g your caught up on the timeline, im saying every coach he hires is the best coach in the league. he said to one agent that he turned down guys who could be nhl assistants to hire craig duncanson back in the day.

Well I'd say publicly he'd always have to say he got the best guy. Can't exactly go and say oh yeah we got a middle of the road guy. I can't blame him for not waiting a coach who leaves in a year though. You want consistency. I mean we just had what 4 coaches on 4 years? Hard to establish a culture that way

 

[agillarda]

That said I don't think Duncanson was the right hire though

of coutse it wasnt, he was like 4-30 in usports. he was the easy hire that he could control

Bigger picture, he was hired after coming off a full year of no hockey or revenue….I can’t comment on his coaching abilities but he is hockey guy thru and thru with plenty of experience. Maybe a little too old for today’s young players….

Is it true that there were 88 applicants for this position?

What is he talking about? The only good coaches (Stillman, Derek MacKenzie) fell into his lap, would not be controlled and left when they had better options. Papineau’s local, controllable hires were terrible

The hockey world(CHL) is like a small village. Once a person gets a reputation it spreads like wildfire. I believe Paps' reputation is well known and not in a good way. With 4 coaches in the last 4 years and with his well known meddling I don't believe that quality qualified individuals will jump into his circus and we will be once again be left with 2nd tier coaching!
eill

not a chance. it’s more ‘were the best franchise in the CHL’ stuff that paps always hypes up

I believe Dario Zulich will have big say who next coach is, this time around.

Is this a good thing? I'm seriously asking?

 

[dirty12]

other than deciding if he is willing to pay the demanded salary, probably not. That is unless Zulich is looking for a coach/GM

Is this a good thing? I'm seriously asking?

imo no

 

[billoink]

Coaching by committee is what he wants good luck

 

[Wolf on a Wire]

We need a coach that connects with all players and makes each of them feel valued in their respective roles. A coach who can teach and develop individuals to improve their game while improving the TEAM.

A younger coach who is not yet pulling from CPP is the way I would hope they'll go
