NGKEIB 32 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 I don't think that we should hire a new defensive coach, I think that we should give MacLean his old job back. Put the fear of the moustache into the PKers hearts. As for McCrimmon, he's had his chance - I just hope that the vaunted Red Wings 'loyalty to players' doesn't apply to coaching staff. He hasn't earned any. As for who to hire for offensive coach, someone suggested Gallant - does this guy have a good coaching record? Or would it involve encouraging everyone to take penalties all the time and fight a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was the whole point behind this thread... that was covered in my starting post Title pretty much says it all - what do you guys think? Fire McCrimmon, move MacLean back to D coach (where he was during the 08 cup run) and bring Gallant on board as an assistant handling the offense. Gallant was the head coach for the Blue Jackets from 03-07... a head coach can easily take over as an assistant... especially with his history here, I think he'd be an amazing hire...

Original-Six 254 Report post Posted February 8, 2010 Yes. Why mess with success? MacLean should have never been taken off the D. This ^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
