McD Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Absolutely stoked with Patty being back. He was a great player, but he's been an even better man and supporter of the Buffalo community. He knows who we are. Quote
Stoner Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Teddy interim, not clear why. Me too. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Teddy interim, not clear why. Because the new GM will have a big say on who's permanent. Everything they're saying about Ted Nolan makes me thinks this is a short term deal to finish the season Agreed. This should be the first question from the press. Quote
ROC Sabres Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Nolan coached Girgenson on the Latvian team? Interesting. Quote
nucci Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Because the new GM will have a big say on who's permanent. Agreed. This should be the first question from the press. Interesting that he would come in as interim coach Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 ♪♫Heeeeyyyy Buuffalo, I'm gonna get my perks......♫♪ Quote
darksabre Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Because the new GM will have a big say on who's permanent. Agreed. This should be the first question from the press. Yup. When you're doing a takeover you bring in your own guys. Teddy will fit the interim bill. He's a guy Pat must trust. Quote
eball Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Because the new GM will have a big say on who's permanent. As he should. Can't castrate the new GM by telling him who his coach is before he walks in the door. Quote
shrader Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Why? He was a damn good coach Look how many jobs he got after that point. A damn good head coach doesn't wind up as the head of the Latvian program. Quote
Stoner Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Because the new GM will have a big say on who's permanent. Interesting. Who picks the coach? Quote
That Aud Smell Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Nolan just used the phrase that pays: "change the culture." Quote
nobody Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Teddy is not sounding like he thinks he is an interim. Quote
dudacek Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Not sure about Teddy being the right coach for this team, but I forgot how much I liked the guy. Quote
darksabre Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Teddy is not sounding like he thinks he is an interim. What coach does? Quote
Stoner Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Nolan says he wants to bring some credibility back to the organization. heyyoooo Quote
drnkirishone Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Nolan was a horrible coach. Granted his teams had little talent Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 I swear to God I want to go to Knox Farm and hand out candy to everyone...... Quote
That Aud Smell Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Interesting. Who picks the coach? My guess is that that gets worked out before the new GM is announced, so a collaborative process between Lafontaine and GM? Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Spin, spin, spin ... They all say they are very happy, but they don't sound like it to me. Teddy Nolan is a good man. Quote
LGR4GM Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Teddy is not sounding like he thinks he is an interim. Good. I think he needs to do that and act like he is in charge. Get the players respect. Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Nolan was a horrible coach. Granted his teams had little talent I disagree he had a great coach with mediocre players besides Hasek Quote
darksabre Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Teddy crying at the end of his mic stand. What a guy. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Nolan just used the phrase that pays: "change the culture." As did Lafontaine. Also concur: Just love Teddy. Quote
Jsixspd Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 As he should. Can't castrate the new GM by telling him who his coach is before he walks in the door. Yep, and that's Pat's exact explanation, and it's a VERY good one and completely logical! This is awesome!!!!! Quote
