And I was able to change My nickname here to show up as MBFlyerfan, but the previous posts that said “agreed” are not me….
Damn Bill need some entertainment and those 2 would have provided!!! Though I get it on your end.
Is Lappy a legit candidate for the head coaching job based on what know?
I think Lappy will get an interview (ala Scott Gordon some years back) but I think Shaw would have the interim tag removed before Lappy would get moved up from Phantoms HC to Flyers HC. My hunch is that Ferschweiler gets the job.
No issue with Ferschweiler as he is not a retread. Take that all day compared to the other options. Though his stint as an NHL assistant is nothing to write home about. He is 55 and never got a chance before so makes you wonder why. Since he has NHL experience, I wonder how much say they would allow him to have
Do you know of any other teams interested in Ferschweiler
Would that be more of a Jones hire than a Briere hire?
While Ferschweiler is a “Jonesy guy”, he won’t be hired if Danny objects. One thing you can say about Briere — whether you otherwise like the job he’s doing or not — is that he isn’t territorial in that way. If he likes the candidate, he’ll hire him whether it was his own idea or the POHO’s idea initially.
What happens if Jones wants him and Briere wants another guy. That is a possibility on several candidates as not always going to see eye to eye which isn’t a bad thing.
Who do they then defer to? If anyone of course.
2 last questions:
1. Is there any time frame they have to name a coach? Are they waiting for any assistants who are still coaching do you now of?
2. Issacc Howard. I am sure Flyers would have interest. Would Howard. To walk away from arguably the best run organization in hockey seems rather odd to me on the surface.
Enjoy your Sunday.
^ everyone said Torts runs the show and Briere is a puppet. Torts was Jonesy’s guy. Briere fired Torts. Seems pretty clear who is in charge. So the first thing you said makes no sense at all.
1. my guess is they’ll do one year of Shaw or Lappy, run the rest back and tank for McKenna, kick tires on Cooper in 26 and if he goes to Utah like some are saying than maybe they go with Ferschweiler then. He’s got a good thing going at WMU so he may be in no rush.
I just wish they’d go after Shaun Clouston.2. maybe.
The more I look at Ferschweiler (better learn to spell his name) The more I like the idea. A coach with a NHL assistant pedigree who has also had success with younger players in college. He will be able to relate to both younger players and veterans.
Briere had no intention of firing Torts. He said so himself. The also had a meeting of the “minds” for several days before Briere was given the ok to move on form Torts. Torts got himself fired. If you can’t see that then oh well.
There is zero chance they try to tank. They haven’t done that yet and they will not start now. they are looking to add players to “compete”. If they fail it will not be design.
