Good for him, Grier is a terrible GM. Best of luck on your next endeavor, DQ

Sharks: David, your job is to tank. David: Roger that. Sharks: No, that’s too much tanking.
Redeem_Deez
I mean whaddya want, completely hopeless situation. Scotty Bowman couldn’t have gotten 30 wins out of that team.

ahhhhh…David Quinn. You might remember some of his all time greatest hits like “I love Brendan Smith so much I’m moving him to wing” and “Why call up Filip Chytil when we have Brett Howden” just to name a few.

Must be nice for whoever takes that job next. Either they continue to suck and the front office realizes they just don’t have any talent to win with, or they improve and the coach looks like a hero. DQ just made an ultimate wingman move by taking that impossible sharks gig
Teknicsrx7
praying the devils hire him
HanaDolgorsen
no one wants to get fired but i’m sure it stings a lot less when you have a multi million dollar contract. his rangers contract was 12 million over five years, and his san jose contract was unknown over 3 years; i’m not shedding any tears for the guy any time soon.

the FIRE QUINN saga continues..

He’s too good for the Sharks
NashtyNate
Upon being relieved of his duties Quinn reportedly opened his eyes really wide and turned his palms up in the air as if he were about to argue, but ultimately put up no fight at all.

Future head coach of the Utah something or others
Stonewall30NY
Everyone saying that it’s confusing because his job was to tank is missing the part where his job is also to develop some of the younger players on the team and develop future draft picks, except he was notoriously bad at that. He shouldn’t have been hired to a team like that in the first place
PablcoEscobarsChef
What does this bum even do
the_mair
it would be so funny if they hired gallant
CalliopeCrasher4145
i mean, he did suck for us, so should anything else really have been expected?
blueline7677
He kinda got put in a shitty situation. Coaching a god awful roster to what was inevitable a got awful record. Although I think he’s better suited for college he’s too hands on for the NHL
roscomikotrain
Doubtful he will get another opportunity to be a head coach – based on results he doesn’t deserve another shot
Lululemonparty_
I never noticed until now that he looked a lot like Gavin Newsome.
jkman61494
I honestly feel bad for Quinn. He now has the reputation of going to coach a team that is built to fail
nyrangerfan1
How do I change my blurb, I think it’s time.

David quinn may be the worst nhl coach over the last decade
WhatWeDrinkin
He is POISON, to any team he coaches
Anxiouslycalm10
Not like he was going to transform them into a winning team.
NatalChaos
Hopefully the next head coach for the Debbies.
nyrangers95
JD and Gorton really lost their job over this guy.
Mr-Dicklesworth
One of the worst head coaches I have ever seen. Considering Gerard fucking Gallant was able to take a team with almost the same roster Quinn had to back to back 100+ point seasons, while this moron has only ever coached bottom feeders is a testament to how bad he is. Someone like John Tortorella coaching the Sharks I guarantee would have had them middle of the pack and not the historical disgrace we witnessed this year
Key-Sprinkles-3543
Not enough jam?
magnusvanansauf
No reason to shit on Quinn. We were in complete transition at the time. He worked well with the young kids and clearly had tactical shortcomings. Short memories from some of you goldfish. Go Rangers.
MikeyLikeyPhish
I had high hopes for this dude
GuaranteeLoose4494
Totally incompetent
No_Spend_8907
He’s not NHL level. So he will be a perfect in New Jersey.
breadKick
Not getting another NHL coaching job most likely.
Boring_Equipment_946
Doesn’t belong in the NHL.
Direct_Crab6651
I will go the other way
Dude was handed a mediocre AHL team and they were more competitive than they probably should have been.
Who could have done any better with that team? Gordon Bombay ?
_mynameisclarence
I have no love for DQ… but they literally handed him an AHL team.
Lord_Sather
If you want a top 2 pick he’s your man.
Emjoria
I actually really liked him and he did the best he could with the Sharks. Hoping Mike Grier makes a good choice.
