I'm starting to get the appeal for David Carle. I'm just not sure if he's the right guy for Boston but looking at some of the other names, I think he's probably one of the more intriguing names.
Speculation: Who should the Bruins hire as their next Head Coach?

Sturm, Carle, Tocchet. All have pros and cons, but I’d probably be cool with any of those three.

The case for the next Bruins head coach: why this candidate stands out
With the Boston Bruins searching for their next head coach, there’s no shortage of familiar names being tossed around. But one name sticks out to me, a guy Bru

My fear is that it’s the “Make way for ducklings” ducks in Boston common.

He hasn't done anything at the AHL or NHL level. I don't want another college flavor of the month.
Perhaps that is unfair, just how I see it.

Misha Donskov (I realize he has no AHL/NHL *head* coaching experience, but look at his resume and listen to what others say about his hockey acumen).

“What really sets Sturm apart, though, is how he connects with players. Having been an NHL winger himself, he gets what it’s like to grind through an 82-game season and face the heat of the playoffs. Guys who’ve played under him can’t stop talking about how approachable he is. Akil Thomas from the Reign said Sturm’s always checking in, making sure players feel heard, which builds real trust.
Kevin Connauton, a veteran of 14 years, called him one of the best coaches he’s ever had, saying Sturm runs an AHL team like it’s an NHL squad but never loses touch with what his players need. For a Bruins roster that’s got a mix of grizzled vets like David Pastrnak and young guns like Jeremy Swayman, that kind of coach, one who can relate to everyone, is huge.
Mentored by hard-nosed coaches like Darryl Sutter, Sturm learned the value of discipline and straight talk, and he brings that to his teams now. Guys like Dennis Seidenberg have called him “eager” and “welcoming,” which makes me think he’d bring a fresh, positive vibe to a locker room that could use it after Jim Montgomery’s departure.
The Bruins are at a crossroads, staring down a rebuild. Sturm’s proven he can develop young talent and inspire a group, from his Olympic run with Germany to his AHL success. His structured but adaptable style could be exactly what Boston needs to get back to contending.”
I think the big question is who is hiring the next coach.
Neely fired Cassidy because Sweeney said Cassidy was safe. The irony is that Cam was put in place to protect Charlie from saying anything stupid.
Charlie then says that we will be a playoff team next year.
I am not optimistic

Seems like a cluster. I would like to see Sweeney by himself and Neely retire.I think the big question is who is hiring the next coach.

Yes, but as I stated earlier this guy is a local with college and NHL experience while still being good for a moderate tank. They value their jobs, but this can't be a sought after job given the bad roster and arrogant, incompetent bosses.

I can`t find any article or clip but didn`t Sweeney or Neely mention their preference is someone with NHL experience? I don`t think they specifically said NHL HC experience but NHL experience in general such as being an Assistant Coach?
I wish Sweeney/Neely had the same approach to hiring a coach as they do when they draft kids they think are projects but will be longtime contributors to the big club once they develop
Where I think this lands is either Leach gets the gig or they go with Sturm, it would be a Bruins type move
1- former B`s player, familiar with the org
2- no NHL head coaching experience but has Ass`t coached in the NHL if not mistaken?
3- Not like Sturm could command massive $$
