sodbuster Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 I'm not going to worry, because I don't think anybodu knows what is going on. I believe all of these reporters are just guessing at this point. 3
Ogelthorpe Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 If they hire Jack Martin I'm done. No more season tix for me
Brawndo Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 A Top Candidate, is a different than THE Top Candidate right? Right? 1
LTS Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 I'd rather have Laviolette... and I don't want Laviolette at all. I'd rather keep Housley. If they hire Martin all I will be able to think is, "Well, it wasn't Mike Yeo." 1

Derrico Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 The only thing I really didn't want was an old retread coach. Not only that but he's like the 3rd or 4th retread option even available. At this point you hope a team overreacts and fires a good but Round 1 losing coach or you go with Keefe or Smith. Won't even be excited with Keefe or Smith until they actually turn it around but if they hire JM would be about the only way I would be disappointed. 1

Unfortunately, I just JBotts knows he’s on the hot seat now. This is his last coaching hire. People in these types of situations usually act differently than they did when they were hired. There’s no more taking chances, like Housley. I bet he goes for a self-preservation safe pick, like JM. He’s not spectacular or a sexy pick, but he won’t likely get you fired because they’ll make the playoffs (and that’s about it). 1

Last coaching hire indeed. 1

Curt Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Legitimate question: Why is Jacques Martin a bad coaching choice? I want actual reasons relating directly to Martin himself. Just to clarify, I’m not in favor of Martin, but I would like to hear actual opinions of him as a coach. Edited April 24, 2019 by Curtisp5286
Doohicksie Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 I think he would be viewed as a backward looking selection, a dinosaur.

Older re-re-re-tread with no history of real success. 1
