Only thing I'm wondering is how much money did he scam out of them?

[bunomatic]

Babcock is a red flag.

[Stoner]

 

[Taro T]

Well, THAT didn't take long.

[Weave]

That has to be his swan song, innit?

[Marvin]

All I can say is, "wow."

[Mustache of God]

Rest in piss!

[Norcal]

5th second chances never last long

Now we watch and see who is the surprising player that gets traded out of Columbus in the next few weeks. 

[Zamboni]

Good. Now maybe the blue jackets will actually do some damage. They definitely were not going to do that with him behind the bench.

According to what I read, Babcock asked players to share photos off their phone to get to know them better. Absolutely weird.

Yeah.  Especially young rich professional athletes.  Probably a few pics from puck bunnies. 
 

But the invasion of your privacy is the real isssue here.

Ralph Krueger will hire him as a Swiss soccer consultant.

Guess Mrs. B just couldn’t adjust to the limited high fashion shopping options in Columbus and demanded Mr. B resign and get her back to Toronto asap.

Well, everyone can pile on, but you don't know that. Look at his coaching record. There is no doubt that he's a top notch world class coach. That's beyond dispute. But his old school methods shouldn't have got him the job and he's done now.

I hear Ron Rolston is available.

[Doohicksie]

Pascal Vincent is the new coach.

Hitchcock, Tortorella, Babcock. You want an older-school defensive-minded coach who might not get along with kids these days? I hear Darryl Sutter is available.
