If the Flyers continue to suck, does John Tortorella get fired sometime this seasn?

My question would be, is he the current GMs guy or did he predate him?

If he predated him then I could see him being on chopping block if the GM isn't satisfied with how the kids are developing under him.

 

[amnesiac]

not exactly a strong team on paper.... the fact that they were a bubble team last season tells me hes doing a very good job

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think he’ll get one more season. Don’t see how it works though for much longer.

He should be for sure but he will bully his way around and use players as escape goats . People think the team did better than their roster was last year and i'm here to tell you the team is better than people give it credit for . Tort's has no idea of how to create offense and he could give a shit less . He thinks and coaches for games to be won 1-0 and his X,s and O,s are wrong for the modern NHL {dump and chase and grind } . Players also get tired of him jumping up and down and constantly screaming at them , they just tune him out after a while .

Absolute HORRIBLE coach .

It would be kind of dumb to fire him. They knew what he was when they hired him, and he has come exactly as advertised. If they want a developmental coach they should have hired one; if they want a winning team now they need to take long look at the roster.

nick kypreos has hinted more then once torts is besties with ownership. He is not going anywhere unless torts wants a front office job.

 

[Chips]

I don’t think he should be fired, but I’d rather see him on some other teams.


He joined a bad team that was expected to be bad a while. He’s not gonna be why the team misses the playoffs.

Being hard on players and making them accountable is not bullying and I disagree he's a horrible coach, he coached as shit flyers team last year and made them push for the play offs. And trying to take away credit from what he did last year to make that dumpster fire the flyers call a team to push your own agenda is sad. Yes he's a good coach, is he controversial? Yes, but you don't win a stanley cup being a horrible coach, he also has a track record of making teams better than they should be.

Then you should have him coach your team . He has actually made me stop cheering for Philly until he is gone . And he won a cup 20 some years ago ever since then it,s been down hill with the exception of 1 year in Columbus early

It,s not just my agenda , go over to HF Philly

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Voted yes, because I wish, but no.

Give the losing a little time, this guy is a straight douche...

Philly deserves a little better anyways. They'll turn things around when he leaves.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Torts will be "promoted" into management once he decides to retire from coaching.

 

[kp61c]

It's either him or michkov. One will have to go before the season is over. Can't say who, though. Btw, It's funny the players on the bench always look like they are afraid of him. One wrong move and you are in his doghouse, lol.

I can't stand escape goats. I prefer real scape goats, none of that "e" nonsense.

 

[Sasso09]

No but he should.

He's too good of a coach to rebuild with

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

He will never be fired by the Flyers as a coach. Only promoted some day.

 

[Evergreen]

If Sullivan gets fired, I could see Torts moving off the bench to make room for the Flyers to hire him. He won’t be fired though. Just moved into a different role.
