Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 So it's a coin toss? No....75% of teams that have an assistant with head coaching experience are in the playoffs 38% of teams without such experience made it to the playoffs.

North Buffalo Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 So it's a coin toss? A little better but got it, not statisticallly significant for making the playoffs. Would be interested in what the statistics will be for how far teams with former head coaches go in the playoffs and what if any stats there on team advances from previous years. No....75% of teams that have an assistant with head coaching experience are in the playoffs 38% of teams without such experience made it to the playoffs. Ah differing stats... hmmm, so what are the actual numbers, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah differing stats... hmmm, so what are the actual numbers, really. If those 12 teams SeaBass listed are the ones with said coaches.....9 of 12 made it to the playoffs...for 75% success rate That leaves 18 teams without a former head coach.....7 of those 18 made it for a 38% success rate. Both top seeds as well as 4 of 6 division winners had a former head coach on their staff. The numbers were similar last time we played this game........

PASabreFan Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 FTLOF, this ain't hard. You want experienced guys on your staff, not newbies. You want to be Hockey Heaven, a championship machine? Look at the franchises you want to emulate — Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, I dunno who else. It's not teeny talent time in any of those towns.

Iron Crotch Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 In lieu of a new head coach, new assistants is a step in the right direction. I assume a power play specialist will be brought in as one of the new assistants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I don't know enough about what Adams and Patrick do to give them a fair assessment. But I like this for two reasons: It shows Rolston is not afraid to make tough decisions and be his own man. And it gives hope for a power play that never should have been that bad.

Two or less Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Teppo still on board, though. Bucky's tweet: Source: James Patrick and Kevyn Adams have been fired. Teppo is staying. Darcy loves Teppo. Darcy and Patrick not best buds. Interesting. To me, this is a similar situation to when the Indiana Pacers moved Frank Vogel from interim to head coach (im a Pacers fan). After season ended, they waited to hire Vogel for weeks, and it turned out the reason was, he was only going to be hired if he was able to bring in a respected assistant. If he wasn't able, he wouldn't have gotten the job because Pacers felt he was too inexperienced to take the job full-time and wanted him to have help. I wonder if this is similar? Rolston was given a few days/weeks to present to Darcy Regier what kind of assistants he can bring in to help him? Im guessing Craig Ramsey will be an assistant.
