You guys shouldn't be so reflexive. I disagree with Tanner most of the time as well. But he's dead on correct here. Look at what Montgomery did with a pretty flawed Dallas roster. Or the relative success Quinn had in NY. There are probably 5 NCAA coaches with solid experience and energy for the job who would have been solid choices. They're going to waste several more years of the most talented guy of his generation. Fine with me since they're in the same conference as my team.

BTW, Tippett is under 60.

Tanner has kind of cultivated this reflexive reaction with his incessant authoritarian, politically regressive screeching.
People hate being preached at.
Add to that his troll like demeanour and there’s a certain group of readers who get their backs up before even reading the content.

But in this instance, hes bang on.
It’s the chiarelli/McLellan hire all over again.

Nicholson just going back to the ole boys club to recycle some more known names.
And if you Listen to bob speak in his disjointed and awkward manner, you know he has no fuking idea what he’s doing. This is the same guy that was doubling down on chiarellis ”plan” deep into last season.

They shoulda showed him the door along side chiarelli and been adamant about finding fresh new ideas

Tanner was ordered to take off Oiler's logo from his blog, and put up the crappy Yotes logo.

Someone whined about it. I could care less. I love how you think it's a big deal though, that's amusing.

Hmm, looks like the Oilers blogger wasn't too happy to see Tanner using the Oiler logo and spewing nonsense. Love it. Stick to the Coyotes Tanner! Next time you project the upcoming roster, try to remember Schmaltz.
