Who Do You Want to be the Next Head Coach of the NY Rangers?

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

What about promoting Ortmeyer? He’s already on the organization and has respect about management. You think a team under ortmeyer wouldn’t go all out and play hard?

I think the only prerequisite for the next coach is that he or she has coached somewhere. Kind of rules out Ortmeyer.

how about the rangers run a poll on social media and make the hire based on fan feedback?

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Dont think twice, hire Q.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Q was the head of a leadership core that prioritized winning over addressing sexual assault. I'm sorry but winning a championship is not more important than standing by values as basic as "sexual assaults' are not tolerable"

I frankly couldnt care less. The man wins and the guy was fired and taken care of. The fact it was a week or so later really doesnt matter to me, not like it was Q’s call to make the firing anyway.

Nowhere near the point. Not the same stratosphere. Galaxy. Universe.

You don't think twice if it's purely a hockey decision. Yes, Quenneville is by far, BY FAR, the best candidate. But there's more to it than just hockey.

Watch the Devils fire Lindy Ruff after being swept by Carolina and then hire Andrew Brunette...and then Drury hires Ruff.

They should find out who the biggest hockey fan among former special operations military guys is, who played the highest level hockey and not just a biased “die hard” and go completely off the board and obliterate the old boys club. Imagine a 45 year old retired Navy SEAL who played at a D1 level? Let’s go.

Pick me as your assistant, add some youthful exuberance. I’d have them on a Pizza Hut diet and be the first coach to implement ‘Kravtsov Theory’.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Does it really matter? We went from Quinn to Gallant with most of the same roster. How can Rangers management think that the players is not part of the issue here. Here’s a NMC for you if over 28 and make millions. Please try to show up in the playoffs and if you cant it will just fall not he coach. You are safe here with NMC. Don’t make me regret it. Rangers message to their players.

 

[AirGut]

I'd rather have the chaos of Roy than the chaos of hiring Joel Quenneville to be honest

 

[Avery16]

HC Quenneville with assistants Knoblauch and Samuelsson. Gord and Kelley should go too.

 

[blinknyr182]

just curious why Brunette is unrealistic? unfortunately it'll probably be Q .....good coach awful human

 

[17futurecap]

The Rangers deserve every bit of criticism they will rightfully get when they hire Q.

Last hire for Drury before he loses his job.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

several more good options are Paul MacLean (currently Leafs assistant) and Bob Hartley who won with Drury and won Championships on 5 different levels NHL, Swiss-A, AHL, KHL, and QMJHL.

Would love to have Paul here, his son is an assistant with the Marlies as well, 2 for one deal.

Message unclear....
didn't even think once.
Hired Roy.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Q would be horrible.

Roy would be worse

 

[JHS]

Man if only we had an NHL coach on that list who has taken multiple organizations to conference finals and had breakout seasons for multiple players all within the past year…wonder why Gerard Gallant is not on that list…ohhh right…

JOKE OF A FRANCHISE!!!

so this was all going on while i was bashing my head onto the table trying to pick wining horses in kentucky all day?

drury is turning out to being the nhl version of a late 70's early 80's version of george steinbrenner.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

My true answer is idgaf unless Panarin is gone.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

The Brunette meme gave me a chuckle.

I don't want coach Garlic to die for this. Lock him up in the AHL.

 

[Priorae]

I’d pick someone who leads winning teams consistently and has gotten their team to the Stanley Cup finals. A proven pedigree as it were.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Also anyone who voted for Messier should be auto banned

my mindset has always been that professional teams need to be militant in their approach.

There's a reason for that.... because it works. Within reason obviously.... We do not want to put Panarin in a trunk in a dark room and have him sit in there for a week to test his mental strength.
