Speculation: When Does Bruno Get The Boot?

[herzausstein]

Philly tomorrow. Got to win that cause the next 3 games are Tampa/MIN (back to back), and TOR and that's not a pretty stretch. Im gonna go ahead and predict being 7-15-4 at the 26 game mark.

Let's hope they don't win so maybe we can get this nightmare over with

I am resigned to the fact that Brunette cannot and will not be fired this season or summer. Trotz is going "Patient Poile" his way through this because he believes in his choice of coach.

i agree with you 100% on this. I believe he will make it all the way through next season as well.

I'm not sold he believes in Brunette, I just don't think he's willing to fire his first head coach hire as a GM less than 2 years in.

You know what they say. When you find egg on your face, let it go rancid before wiping it off.

I don't think he gets through next season without some kind of major change.

Unfortunately, either way, the result is the same and we'll never know the truth of it.

I thought you were supposed to hit yourself with a hot skillet.

Even if we lose em all, i feel like trotz will continue to blame the players and not the coaching

I don't see Trotz beating himself senseless. Pretending that everything is perfectly fine? Yeah. He's going to do that. Even if it stinks really, really bad. Keep walking. Keep whistling. It's all good.

I just can't imagine Trotz's pride at his coaching choice outlasting his frustration that this team is wasting year one of his Go For It plan. If he lets this year go in the shitter with Bruno, next year all these 30 somethings will be a year older and a year slower.

Going to seem silly if he pulls the trigger 2-4 weeks from now, the team stabilizes, and we miss out by 4-8 points because we stuck with an obviously losing formula. Going to seem sillier when we bring in a coach that actually uses the younger players, inexplicably, after the roster moves thus far

If a new coach is brought in, he can change the system. But some of this mess does fall on the players. So there are two moves there. Trade for someone or bring up younger guys. Trotz has already said recently that he favors bringing kids up and launching the total overhaul early.

Given all that, it seems like a new coach will almost certainly throw out Bruno's unproductive system and bring up and use younger guys.

The frustrating thing is Trotz following Bruno's lead on young players and throwing them away at this point. If he is contemplating a coaching move, then he should be contemplating a fresh pair of eyes and fresh evaluation of the kids, especially after giving them a sane chance. Since that isn't happening, I think we have to consider that Bruno is going to be given a lot of patience. And given the way that's gone, there will be few changes except that kids will be brought up and if they don't show instantaneous success, they'll be short shifted, benched, press boxed, and ultimately waived for the next kid. A system with no accountability for the coach and players that are the actual issue.
