I don't particularly like Quenneville, but I think there should be a path for him to rehabilitate his career if he has sincere remorse for his part in what happened. I know I'll get pushback that he doesn't show remorse, but let's assume he does for a moment. If he does, I am not so sure we'd have much public indication of it. He would have been advised not to express any public responsibility, or probably no public statement at all.
If the Blues hire him, I'm going to treat it like the first Montgomery hiring and trust that they have good reason to believe he's changed. (Montgomery was a lot more sympathetic, but I suspect part of that is because it was all handled with confidentiality. In this case, that same level of confidentiality feeds suspicion and resentment.)
The problem is that there isn't. He has repeatedly feigned ignorance and claimed he doesn't remember any of the details. His 'remorse' is that he wishes he had known more because he believes he would have done something had he known what happened. But that version of the story is unsupported by anyone who isn't named Joel Quenneville.
Multiple people in the room for the infamous meeting say that Quenneville was specifically told that there were allegations about Aldrich trying to jump into bed and making unwanted sexual advances toward players. Multiple people in that room say that Beach's name was discussed in the meeting. Multiple people in that room say that Aldrich's name was used. Multiple people in that room said that Quenneville was agitated/angry and was one of the voices pushing not to do anything to avoid disrupting team chemistry. It is unclear whether he was the first person to voice that opinion or just the loudest.
Quenneville doesn't remember any of that and claims that people were trying to avoid saying what happened. He also doesn't remember anything about the 10 minute phone call he had with Gary (the reporting party) the day after that meeting. He speculated that the conversation was about something unrelated. It was the only phone call between the two of them in 2010.
Quenneville's claimed ignorance of any/all details doesn't line up with the statements made by any other person with knowledge of the situation. The notion that he was left in the dark in the meeting and then had a completely unrelated 10 minute conversation with the reporting party a day later is ludicrous.
Now, here is his statement of "remorse" from his interview with Cam and Strick last year: “By not asking more questions — and I take ownership on that — I think, had I known more, I think I would’ve handled it completely different,”
Give me a f***ing break.
Everyone involved tells the same version that he absolutely knew more than he's let on. The
clear consensus is that he was one of the (if not the) main voice pushing to ignore it in favor of team chemistry. The consensus is that he did in fact know more than he's let on. And he has the audacity to act like his failing was simply not asking more questions.
Again, give me a f***ing break.
There isn't an ounce of sincerity in his "remorse." His complete inability or unwillingness to even be truthful about his failing makes it crystal clear that there is no remorse or growth.
