I'm on board with 1 and 2.

The News mentioned Dave Tippett today. I thought he was hired by Seattle.

No Babcock... No Martin either.. not sure who is left with quality experience.

experience is over rated


no coach other then bowman won a cup with 2 teams in the last 80 years

get a young offensive minded creative guy behind the bench, and no housley was not that

senior adviser, I would pass on him as well

He's had some amazing seasons and he's had his share of mediocre. Just like every other coach in the past 30 years.

Does that record inspire confidence in you though?

No.

Like I said, I'm not pulling for him for the job, but he CAN coach in this league.

You can find fault with every candidate.

nolan
disco sucks
housley


pretty sure the beer vendor can coach better then what we have had

Edit: Mis-read

he got worse in year 2 instead of better


I guess I want a really young coach, as I consider 50ish old

Having an adviser who would prefer coaching just seems like bad recipe.
