Presser tomorrow at 11...

So did Richardson never provide refreshments? :thinking:

Years ago at my old company, the big boss got fired and a new boss was brought in. He threw a pizza party to introduce himself and talk about things going forward. Right after that meeting he fired like 15 people. So in my book, refreshments mean firings incoming.

The coaching staff is safe.  Can't rebuild a coaching staff right before training camp.

Anyone else is fair game.  May not be any changes, but yeah it's possible.

I don't expect Tepper to come in and do clean sweep right away but I'm expecting he'll take it methodically.

What do I want to see happen?

In the words of the man himself WIN!

What I don't want to see happen?

A continuity of the mediocrity that became the norm under JR and his staff

What do I expect to happen?

WIN! WIN! WIN! WIN!

- What do you not want to see happen?

Rephrase the questions, kinda?  Sure, it's kinda the same thing, but a smidge different...

  • What should Tepper START doing?
  • What should Tepper STOP doing?
  • What should Tepper CONTINUE doing?

Fair enough. Feel free to answer however you like.

I'll try*.....

START:  decide if you're going to be a hands-ON or hands-OFF owner, and surround yourself with The Best People possible to achieve success

STOP:  ignoring what the fans are clamoring for (that seems reasonable, of course). If the number one way to say THIS IS OUR HOUSE and improve fan satisfaction is to put the logo at mid-field? That's a low low cost to pay, and will make an immediate statement that this is a new era. If the number one thing fans want is something else -- you're not new to the NFL , steal ideas from everyone else and implement those.

CONTINUE: hey, some traditions are worthwhile to keep intact. STAND AND CHEER played at every score? YES!!!! 

 

*disclaimer: I really have no idea what I'm talking about. I bow to the rest of you here on The Huddle(tm) with your [seriously!] more informed commentary.

In that case, here is to having plenty of refreshments!

Stay the course for now.

Mass firings and chaos just before the season starts.

Quote

- What do you expect to happen?

I expect Hurney and Rivera remain in place as long as the team wins at least 2 playoff games this year.

As long as the Panthers continue to build on their previous season's success H&R will likely keep their jobs

If the team should falter along the way, I don't expect Tepper to provide a lot of wiggle room for either coach or gm.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
