Speculation: The search for a new Head Coach - Rumors and Speculation

[Masch78]

Woody is the answer.

But yeah if Pat goes Q, it will seem like 60 yo Cronin was too inexperienced so Pat went with a 66 yo
Next up: hiringa 91 yo Scotty Bowman. Dude has plenty of experience coaching in the NHL. He checks a lot of boxes for Pat

I know, I just do have a huge soft spot for Carle and after going all the interviews on YT with those 3, Carle cemented it for me. I do also think he would be a very good complementary guy to Martin Madden.

@Leonardo87 he’s just going to trade you for future considerations and a gecko.

Side note my dog hates the geico gecko with burning passion

32 thoughts this morning only made very brief mention of Anaheim coaching search and it was associated with Q.

I think we all need to make peace with this happening. Seems like a foregone conclusion to me at this point. Way too much smoke.

I have been warming up to Carle. Not that I had anything against him. Nice idea watching some interviews, will try to do it.

Imagine if they hired Carle and Q was hired as his assistant coach to fix the powerplay and the 2nd interview is just to get him on board with only being an assistant.

I think this is a fair question that’s often asked of coaches like this but I’ve started to flip the mindset a bit and think that it takes a good coach to be able to successfully coach those kind of guys too.

He didn't say anything new though. Just that Verbeek is looking at him. Everyone who's had a rumor about our coaching search has pretty much confirmed Pat has talked to and is looking at him for a potential hire. Part of me thinks that if it was as set in stone as to be an inevitability, it would have happened already. I mean granted, the Rangers probably rushed the Sullivan hiring to make damn sure they got their guy, but still.

Imagine if they hired Carle and Q was hired as his assistant coach to fix the powerplay and the 2nd interview is just to get him on board with only being an assistant.

I'm inherently opposed to the Blackhawks group that met about Aldridge getting jobs in the NHL and that would apply equally to Cheveldayoff or McDonough as it would Quenneville. But, if the idea is that Q is a temporary 2-3 year assistant hire with the idea that his experience would help Carle adapt to the NHL, I could live with that more than Q having the head coaching job. I'd still hate it, but assistants aren't at the forefront as much as head coaches.

Entirely unsurprising. It's not Cooper's fault Tampa doesn't have the depth anymore, that most of their best players are out of their primes, and Vasilveski hasn't been reliable in the postseason. If Dallas wins their series, I expect Bednar to stay too.

 

[Rooch]

No it isnt lol. Unless he got the information through privileged access to his medical info he is not bound by HIPPA.
LaCombe could have told him, or he overheard him talking about it. Still a dick move unless he was given permission, but not a HIPPA violation.

Yes, it is. LOL.

Maybe we can get Bared Jednar then

Been saying this for a while, but Tampa losing the franchise depth and then having to overpay in trades to get those depth pieces, further exasperating the issue of not being able to draft depth, is what killed their window longterm.

They have 2 players outside of their top players (Kuch, Point, Cerelli, Hedman) that they acquired through the draft and they are 24 and 26.

No way Cooper should be held responsible.

Really does highlight how hard it it is to sustain a team as a true cup contender. One you've got your core in place, you basically live and die by what you surround it with and when the core slips, the window closes. Tampa will likely be a playoff team for at least another 3 years but they need to start thinking about youth again. They're not in position to go full Vegas and go crazy with FAs and they don't have the futures to dominate the trade market unless they trade Kucherov.

Yes I know what a HIPPA violation is. You either didn't read my post or are ignoring it. He is not bound by HIPPA unless he gained that information through privileged channels. For example, if he read his personnel file and saw the medical report that mentions his medical health details, THAT would be a HIPPA violation.

If LaCombe told him about it, or he overheard it in a not official manner, or truly any other way that wasn't a privileged channel, he is not bound by HIPPA.

The same way you would not be violating HIPPA if you told everyone that your coworker goes to therapy when they told you over lunch.

I've said it elsewhere but there's only so much "smoke" around him right now because he's polarizing and a lot of people have opinions on him.

All we know is that he's a serious candidate, which we already knew. I don't think it's a done thing though.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Wonder if we’ll have a third Saturday in a row with coaching news

 

[Dostwall]

On Daily Faceoff Live, Seravalli said was asked if there’s another team (besides NYR) that’s trying to get a coaching search done sooner rather than later:
“Yeah, I think that’s the Anaheim Ducks. I think they’ve completed a handful of interviews, maybe more. They’re moving on to round 2 soon.”

So we're aiming to sign around August

I stand corrected. You're right. I did some research and the distinction you made is accurate. Apologies for extending the argument when I didn't understand the nuance.

Any thoughts on Pat Ferschweiler, WMU's head coach, for the Ducks? He just won the NCAA championship and has two former players on the team in Colangelo and Washe. Fershcweiler has had four year in the NHL as an assistant coach with Detroit, 2015-19. What is interesting is that he's not young. He is 55 years old and still knows how to relate to the youth. Pat had revived Colangelo's scoring prowess that was lost in his time with Northeastern.

If they are going to go with a college coach Carle is the better choice IMO. The young guy that that has a bridge to the vets through Terry. Ferschweiler seems more then qualified though.

I'd prefer Carle too, but what Ferschwwiler has accomplished at WMU is impressive b/c it's not one of those prominent programs that attract top talents, which Denver has been. While Carle does have a bridge with Terry, Fersch has a four year bridge to the NHL as an assistant coach. WMU did defeat Denver in the Frozen Four on their way to the NCAA championship. I did like how Coangelo's game made a significant turnaround as well as Tim Washe's complete development under Fersch. With so many youths on the club, I'd prefer Carle and Fersch over the NHL re-treads.

I think Fersch might be more willing to make the NHL jump than Carle, since Fersch has been in the NHL before. He's 55 years old and could be his last shot in the NHL.

 

[Terry Yake]

In terms of leaking, I think its entirely possible (in fact likely) that Q and his team are leaking the interviews. They have a huge incentive to let everyone know that he's in the running. To normalize his hiring.

I don't have moral objections to Q and think he's a very good coach. Certainly his floor is high. I'm fine with the hire. But he's old and I wouldn't mind finding a younger coach with upside. That being said, I'm leery of a first time coach. So that points to a guy like Woodcroft.

One name I haven't heard is Todd Reirden. I wonder why? He had a pretty good run in Washington.

ask pens fans what they thought of reirden's time as associate HC there and you'll get an idea why
