Speculation: The coaching search continues

[Micklebot]

What are the bet against Gruden odds?

probably something lik -125?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

This is why I didn’t get the idea that it’s better to wait for the offseason to hire a coach because that’s when the options are there. This is also when there are the most vacancies.

I’m not impressed by Staios at all. I’m expecting Travis Green because he’s going to be the only one without another team’s offer on the table.

I’m starting to think Julien with Gruden as top assistant.

That would be good. Julien Gruden Alfie

Can we wait for the hire before criticizing. Who would you have hired in season ?

Half the people available likely aren't going to be hired anywhere

The people we’re looking at (Berube, Evason , McLellan) are already speaking to other teams. I don’t see why they’d pick us over teams like New Jersey and Seattle. I really just don’t like Travis Green’s name mentioned so much right now I guess.

 

[Liver King]

Berube Julien or Gallant

That should be the list

 

[Micklebot]

 

[Flamingo]

Rick Bowness is announcing his retirement today. So add Winnipeg to the list of teams courting coaches.

lmao

I’m fairly certain none of these will be our coach.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

What a time to be looking for a coach, everyone is hiring

 

[BondraTime]

Would be fine with any of the above guys

To be fair, I'd be perfectly fine with probably another 5+ guys noot on the list

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Good coaches and post season performance usually go hand in hand. Keefe has yet to prove this!
Dubas and Spezza may scoop him up.

That also means there are a lot of available options.

Gallant, Berube, McLellan, Julien, Evanson, Woodcroft, Green, DJ Smith, Granato, Quinn, Hakstol, and that's just notable guys with recent NHL experience.

Hey Green + korpisalo likely gets us the best odds at Mckenna

There's a bunch of guys I just don't know enough about to have much of an opinion.

Like, Green, I really don't know what kind of coach he is since I never really followed Vancouver during his tenure.

 

[BondraTime]

No matter what team had the last coach, all we will hear is that they are awful coaches.

Nature of the best when you're hiring guys that fans of other teams fired.

Sure but some coaches actually experienced success in the NHL, and some haven’t. The guy getting brought up the most hasn’t, despite Alfie saying they want to hire some who has won before.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Green 4/5 years coaching have been losing seasons

Give me Evason if we are going the cheaper route.

 

[Senscore]

I don't want that greasy bum Green coaching our team

 

[PlayOn]

If you read the comments of any coach that has ever been fired, it’s literally all the same thing. “Never made any adjustments”, “shuffled lines too much”, “played certain role players too much”, “has no system/the system doesn’t work” etc.

It’s all a bit silly imo. I think there’s so much more to it than record or what we see, feels like a pretty tough thing to evaluate with such certainty.

Yeah most likely, but Julien and Gallant should be getting interviews at least

Well i mean Vancouver hasn't really done jack shit during his coaching tenure.

Feels like another Dj Smith hire.

Should Vancouver have done anything more during his tenure? They were a crap team under Torterella, a crap team under DesJardins outside of his first year, then saw incremental improvements Green's first 3 seasons, before a bad shortened season where Pettersson missed half the games and their big UFA acquisition Holtby sucked losing his job to Demko and getting bought out after just the one year.

Guys like Evason and McLellan have at least gotten good results out of some average rosters. I don’t understand Alfie saying they’re looking for a proven winner, only to hire someone who has almost tbe same resume as DJ Smith. Was his interview THAT good?
