He definitely said that ‘coaching won’t change’ for PR fluff. I have a feeling he has everyone on the hot seat in reality.

If we have a .500 season and miss the playoffs (given our unknown o-line situation sadly, it is possible) I feel he’ll be ready to clean house.

Either way, I expect a huge fire lit under everyone to actually try and do good. We have the weapons and we could theoretically have an okay o-line (don’t start Silatolu Ron pls) for Cam to make a run, but it all starts from making the right coaching choices (pls give Cam the freedom he had in 2015) and personnel.

Above all else, Tepper does not strike me as a guy happy with mediocrity. Something JR seemed happy with at times.

I suspect if this is not a winning season, whooo buddy. Seats will be on fire.

 

I wasn't impressed with the press conference but not because of Tepper but the lousy questions.

He has a good vision and love it or not he is bringing some of that Steeler mentality.   He seems to like Ron and Norv and they have the tools to be a good team.   God Forbid they fall flat on their faces.

I apply that only to this season. You can't change coaches in July.

I suspect that people who were overpromoted for ass kissing are probably pretty nervous right now.

It's hard to imagine Tepper allowing anyone with subpar job performance to keep their job.

Huddle will find a way to complain even if we win soooooo.

can he fire huddlers to?

Hard to say, since consistent winning seasons has never happened since 1996. What's amazing is a lot of huddlers were content with an owner like JR and think it hasn't been that bad because we can compare our selves to 3-4 other teams who have it worse. Back to reality, statistics and numbers however, and it was really that bad.

It'll be interesting to see a culture change, but to be honest, it would be pretty hard for Tepper to do worse than JR just looking at numbers.

I feel like there is going to be a ton of firings and a cleaning of house. You don't keep around people who were complicit to what Richardson was doing behind the scenes. Maybe that doesn't extend to the coaching staff, but you gotta purge that bad juju out of there.

My bod is ready.

I found it interesting how much Tepper emphasized how Rivera is such a "defense" guy, and not so much an overall head coach. :thinking:

He called Rivera a "good" coach.

 

Didn't seem like a glowing endorsement.

People noticed that when talking about the "good" football operation, he mentioned Rivera, but not Hurney.

I don't necessarily think it means anything, but it qualifies as one of those "file it away" things.

I think this is Hurney's best work as GM...except for the dumb kicker thing at the beginning of last season.  Not saying he will stick, but I do think this team is in a good position to make a run in the playoffs. Sounds like Tepper will bring in some people who will help him evaluate things.  At least he won't likely be making decisions based on friendships on the team or staff. But he is not going to clean house just for the sake of it either.

Tepper obviously isn't a dumb guy, seems patient, is a straight shooter, and he knows football. I'll take him at his word until he says otherwise. There's really no need for pretty much baseless speculation at this point. 

As for Rivera, he basically said in so many words that he didn't want to give Ron the big head but that Ron is a good coach. I see this as positive, not negative (in any sense). 

In my opinion, all the hot seat talk is out of line and very much premature. 

Hurney, for all his detractors, has set Cam and the offense up to succeed for probably the first time in Cam's career. But for an absolutely crazy Kalil contract by his predecessor, he probably would have fixed the O-line too. Even still, we have enough pieces to win between the draft, free agency and Norv Turner. The win train was in motion even before Tepper became the imminent owner.

      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!

      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!
