So long coach Quinn...

[natureboy]

Toronto Maple Have fired Pat Quinn. (TSN.ca)
Deets to follow.

 

[Boss Hog]

Maybe they'll win now.

 

[Beer babe]

ah well....i suppose it was about time eh? wonder who the contenders are for replacing him?

Pat Quinn is a great coach.

But like Jaques in Ottawa, his time has come and the Leafs need a fresh start. I'm glad he got to finish the season and wish him success in the future.

 

[technowelt]

Go Jays!

 

[Rude1_247]

Quinn must be laughing.... MLSE still has to pay out the final year of his contract and he's free to be hired by another club (which he will be) and earn a salary there.

you're funny.

 

[afterglow]

Not suprised.

Whatshisface from the Marlies prolly (french guy)

Paul Maurice, head coach of the Marlies hopefully.

Ted Nolan? Why the fuck not??

I would like to see Brent Sutter take over

Yes, the Leafs will have to pay a $1.5 million buyout of his contract. I wish I were in line for that much compensation when I couldn't do my job properly.
Paul Muarice ( the Marlies coach) has coached a team to the Stanley cup and is the front runner for the job. When he was hired (by Quinn) he was ment to be Quinn's eventual replacment. Anyone but Marc Crawford.

 

[Spinsah]

Quinn really wanted to stay. That much is certain. It seems like quite the power struggle went on behind the scenes.

Maurice is the favourite for sure. JFJ favours him.

I'd love to see Nolan, but don't hold your breath. And Sutter? Laughable.

Alex,

Can we have a sports forum? Please.

The inevitable has happened.

 

[acheron]

I 'tink maybe we get Coach Mercier to come in an' save da day, no?

 

[Sleepy Giant]

What a bonehead move.

[Flashy_McFlash]

This is the year guys! For serious!

 

[JAR]

whooshing

 

[SneakyPete]

RicK Ley also got fired. Looks like they're cleaning house.


Quinn will get hired right away.

 

[R4V4G3D_SKU11S]

there is one.

Link?

 

[TaCk OnE?]

I don't think this is going to solve much.

we need players who show up, each and every game.


that may have something to do with new leadership, but I think it has more to do with people who suck less.

I'm surprised they didn't make a run for Sutter either, it was speculated around the trade deadline.
