So, because he had RS success with a Yashin led squad and Botterill knows him from Pittsburgh, he's a top candidate? Is there more reason for him to be a lead in the mix?

sodbuster Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrico Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share 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.
