The point is waiting to talk to Brind’Amour is not a thing. Adam’s seemed to have an urgent need to move fast.
-
Brind’Amour is the key person I’m referring to. He will not be available to interview until his team is eliminated.
-
As I listened, I thought about Lindy a few times. His comments took me there. The fact that he is not necessarily waiting for the playoffs to end says the exhaustive search will be semi exhaustive.

Hire an experienced coach and allow him to work with the GM to shape the roster. Adams talks of struggles to get veterans to come to Buffalo. If the coach was highly respected and had a winning pedigree it would help sell the team. Get an experienced and respected guy in there asap.

True. He is pretty smart, he should be looking for an experienced NHL coach that he is willing to learn from.
-
The only sign I get is that both the coach and the GM were over their heads.
-
True to a point. So he understands how to evaluate what happened after the fact and look at lesson learned. There are leaders capable of making good decisions and implementing course corrections in real time. .

Yup. You beat me to it. I was surprised when he talked about the level of intensity in practice, the bottom 6, even his not backfilling for Quinn - he pushed that off as "who would of thought he would get 2 injuries". Hey, VO was a known commodity, and everyone here knew he was a poor replacement for Quinn. On top of it, he is dam lucky that UPL came around because this was a bottom 5 season without him. All this inaction led to the fan alienation, the boos, the chants - and even then they did not teach the players a dam thing about how to react to it. Why they need to be taught this is pretty bad to begin with. Now think about what the players that leave have to say about how things are run here.

I heard something not yet discussed hear. The timeline. I think he was specifically asked if he was waiting for playoffs to end in case there were candidates in the playoffs - if I heard the question right. He kind of balked at that and sounded ready to go. So he may be looking at coaches with NHL experience that are available right now. If true, the Brind'Amour rumor fades away.

Yes, this caught my attention. I got the impression that some of them thought they were gonna win, without earning it. This is were the veteran leaders must be the right ones.
-
This kind of goes against want Dg said - the infamous "adding defense this year" comment.
-
I was happy to hear him say this. He did not have a playoff roster. He and Granato futzed around with prospects for too long, and the NHL roster was not set soon enough and not ready to go.

This is the way the franchise started and was originally viewed. In my opinion Buffalo is a nicer city today, with more going on, then it was in 1970. Buffalo is not the problem. Long winters - not the problem. Terry just needs to get the right people in the right spots and then step away and support them. It can be brought back.
