Who do YOU want to be the next head coach?
Its crazy how the Leafs search for a new Head Coach is headline news on TSN meanwhile the Jets are in the exact same position (and earlier) yet not a mention. Glad there are channels like these that keep the focus on the Jets! Keep up the awesome work!!!
literally anyone but woodcrft
Keefe was a guy where my gut reaction was "OVER MY DEAD BODY", such is the power of hating the Leafs. But the more I think about it the more I like the idea of Keefe coming in. I believe I read somewhere often a head coach's 2nd stint as an HC sees a significant improvement. Nelson Is another really intriguing hire. TB got back to backs grabbing a successful AHL head coach in Jon Cooper. Anything that can make contributors of players on ELCs is a significant bonus for Chevy. ELCs are often the best source of contract value for teams.
Wow can't add much to your opinions because I think you are completely correct. Jets need to start utilizing their young talent and haven't really had a coach over the years that did it.
I'd like to see the Jets follow the lead of Vancouver and Vegas and build an All-Star Coaching staff. Get the best Head Coach but surround him with equally qualified Assistant Coaches that become the very best at their positions. For example, I think Woodcroft and his success with the Oilers PP would be the ideal PP Coach here (if he was willing to take a supporting role). Getting rockstar coaches in place and maximizing your player's talent is cheaper and more effective than upgrading the players. I don't want to crap on the 2023-24 Special Teams coaching but it was clear this was a missed opportunity both in the regular season as well as the Play Offs. Imagine taking our current #4 overall standing Jets and upgrading their PP and PK to similar Top 5 numbers? That alone would be a massive win.
But to answer your question specifically:
Head Coach = Sheldon Keefe (to maximize the young talent)
Asst. Coach = Jay Woodcroft (improve PP)
Asst Coach = Scott Arniel ( PK and to continue the great culture that Bones created)
I'd like Dean Evason
People can say those Minnesota teams wernt good they were still paying price for Parise/Suter contracts.
And he's currently Assistant coach team Canada World Championships.
It says he's from FlinFlon but my grandpa coached him and he went to school elmwood.
If we hire Keefe I will never watch another Jets game
First, say it right: it's Sheldon QUEEFE. (I think he would actually be good). Woodcroft is a perfect example of failure. Here ya go, here's a team with two of the best players in the world, just don't stink up your first 20 games this year
I hope its Q, its not like he was any more involved than chevy would've been
I want Joe McDonnell or Stan Tugokulov from the Dallas Stars. Both know how to pick the right plaryers for their team & develop them properly. The Stars are the best team in the West for a reason. Marc Savard would be another great choice as HC as well.
Lol Joel Quenville. Let's reunite Chevy and Quenville!
Sheldon Keefe would be a good fit. Maybe Gerard Gallant.
i dont think sheldon keefe is bad. I think toronto just has the ability to make people look a lot worse than they are.
My ideal head coach for the jets is a no brainer. My choice would have to be Don Cherry š šš
Arniel was hired to succeed Bowness. It will be Arniel. There's no need to change the culture anymore. 4th overall. Keep the train moving.
Fresh firings: McLellan, Evason, Lambert
Well traveled vets: Boudreau, Gallant
Second chance: Brad Shaw, Kirk Muller
Assistant seeking HC: Ryan Warsofsky
Ahl coaches: Todd Nelson, Karl Taylor
Other: Scott Gordon, David Carle
I Personally believe it will be Arniel.
But I would love to see Todd Nelson, I think he would be perfect fit and if not then I wouldnāt mind Craig Berube. His style of coaching would be good for WPG.
But reality and TrueNorth, it will be Scott Arniel as head coach of WPG Jets. š¤Ø
Woodcroft is my pick
Iām for Tod McLellan bec. heās defensive oriented so similar to the current Jets identity plus being familiar with Villardi, Iafallo, Kupari and Toffoli. But agree with keeping Arniel for the culture and a young coach to fully utilize the Jets prospects.
