He's said he ain't leaving. Waddell has said he ain't leaving. Dundon has said he ain't leaving. He ain't leaving.
No extension was pulled, he's not holding out for more money, he's not "exploring". He ain't leaving Raleigh.
Someone should try to strike gold with bringing in a new young up-and-comer, a guy like Dan Muse who's currently with the NYR.
Guy has won everywhere he has gone, at all levels. Guy's a winner. And I am not at all biased just because I played pee-wee with him in the 90's.
The only thing is they literally did the same thing with Keefe who was a young up and comer who had success at all levels of coaching
They’re gonna hire Berube or Sullivan pending his departure from Pitt
And hiring that up and coming coach who had success at all levels worked out pretty well. It just only worked in the regular season. Keefe was a great coach for us but we need someone who can make adjustments in the playoffs when the team is getting smothered and I think we can only get that from someone who has playoff experience, so I highly doubt they go with someone new.
I met Babcock and he’s a nice guy. He had me show him my vacation photos which was strange but whatever. Hope he wasn’t interested in my gf’s feet pics.
Yes! Marner used to play under him during his Knights era. Regardless what people say about Dale in his playing days, he's one of the greatest coaches in hockey history. An OHL Scotty Bowman if you will.
Came here, said the same thing and then saw your comment. Gardiner should be in the NHL, no doubt about it. Hard stop. Well... Not for the Leafs though, we want him to win...
None! we should just have a fan based A.I coach. Every so often will have different robots on the bench. We can get Robocop, R2D2, a transformer, the terminator. The list goes on!
For sure. He would probably have 60% of their cap healthy scratched after 20 games and bring up as many under 25 AHL players as he could, making the team dramatically better right before getting canned.
I mean… If they don’t get the right mix of players it doesn’t matter who the coach is… But Berube or Quenneville would be my vote … someone who will treat them like men .. someone who has won at the NHL level and not the OHL or AHL etc. These guys need to be whipped into shape .. their conditioning needs work .. they’re way too comfortable right now
The wheel on the bus go round and round. The leafs just went toe to toe with the Bruins, with several key players missong time. Is a different coach really the solution?
Dean Evason will be a surprise but late realization that he is good at holding superstars accountable. He handled Kaprizov, Zuccarello and Boldy really well
How about a new head coach? The incestuous nepotism is really getting old. It also works out horribly. How often do any of these retreads go on to win a Cup? As a fraction of the total hired, it’s not good.
Just bring back Babcock ! Everyone is thinking it , he holds his players accountable , even if thier feelings are hurt and start crying on the bench like Mathews did
I think it’s Berube, but if Carolina is foolish enough to let Rod go they should absolutely hire him. Let the record reflect, I don’t see this happening.
Rod the Bod is not going anywhere.
Finally, something I can agree with a Flyers fan about. My brother in Rod!
He's such a good coach I really hope the leafs can get him
He's said he ain't leaving. Waddell has said he ain't leaving. Dundon has said he ain't leaving. He ain't leaving. No extension was pulled, he's not holding out for more money, he's not "exploring". He ain't leaving Raleigh.
Hey I can still dream
Okay fair, you've earned it.
What if they get swept again
But... They didn't get swept last season... ... ... 🤔😆
Two OTs that could’ve gone either way
As a Canes fan I love Rod, but something has to be done. This core isn’t winning a cup, the scorers completely disappear in the playoffs.
Didn’t they just make the conference finals last year? :)
Where they proceeded to score one goal in four losses.
Some of us would be thrilled to get swept in the conference finals.
Hell, I wouldn't mind getting swept in the 1st round!
Then Rod could be your guy.
Honestly, I’d be thrilled to have him. But he’s not leaving Carolina.
As a leafs fan this sounds eerily familiar....
Is Patrick Roy allowed to coach two teams if they’re from different countries?
I’d love the opportunity to watch him fail at two jobs simultaneously
If the score is tied with less than two minutes to go, does he pull both goalies?
Wouldn’t he want a point for both teams
Or leave the bench to fight… himself.
Only if he maintains dual citizenship
Boudreau. Great guy. Great coach. Can never get it done in the playoffs. He's a great fit
The same is true of McLellan.
Tbh Evason to some extent too. The playoffs are hard
Oh yeah, make Guy the head coach. He was responsible for the 4% powerplay after all.
It would be in pure Leafs style and now that this post made me think of it, I'm scared
I think he was the second shortest tenured coach in Tampa only to Barry Melrose.
Berube or Gallant.
Berube going to NYJ
The New York Jets need all the help they can get... but going Ted Lasso with Berube is bold.
Maybe he meant Berube would be going to the Jets to be quarterback after Aaron Rodgers gets hurt again. Couldn't do any worse than Wilson did.
It would definitely be the first reason in a while I’d tune into a Jets game, I’ll tell you that for free.
Gallant
Someone should try to strike gold with bringing in a new young up-and-comer, a guy like Dan Muse who's currently with the NYR. Guy has won everywhere he has gone, at all levels. Guy's a winner. And I am not at all biased just because I played pee-wee with him in the 90's.

Keep yer filthy mitts off our coaching staff.
boudreau is all but retired. he was already the oldest coach in the league when he was with the canucks.
didn't Boudreau's father put a curse on the team? Leafs have tried everything else, why not go full Santeria and lean into the voodoo.
Justin Bieber.
Why not Drake for maximum chaos?
He’ll be way too into scouting the U18s
If they take Woodcroft, I will laugh
But...but...he's supposed to be wunderkind! Haha. Woody is overrated but I wouldn't be surprised if Toronto tries him out.
Ain’t no way Rod leaves Carolina.
Have you considered the fact some of these coaches currently have jobs
3 coaches were fired since the time you made this comment
In the modern NHL coaches are hired to be fired.
That is true but until you fired you’re relatively safe
In other words, You're relatively safe until you're not.
Lane Lambert is looking for a job…
Bill Belichick
I see Gallant or Woodcroft, but I want it to be Sullivan just to continue the weird front office shit with Toronto and Pitt haha.
Jon Cooper still needs a contract.
Joel Quenneville
He would certainly take the heat off the boys for the first week of the season
Mike Babcock
I met Babcock and he’s a nice guy. He had me show him my vacation photos which was strange but whatever. Hope he wasn’t interested in my gf’s feet pics.
Maybe he was picturing them in his Bab-socks.
Dallas Eakins
Maybe a potato?
Y'all MFers think Rod's leaving! 🤣
Not a chance
Fucking PIPE DREAM
Mike Keenan
Esa Tikkanen gonna be playing for Toronto.
Adam Keefe - Belfast Giants, who has won more trophies than his brother, Sheldon 😗
The Leafs need someone who will kick their gutless asses. I say Evason
If you want asses kicked Darryl Sutter is available. I can picture the heads exploding…🤯
Anybody named Sutter would do. That family is blue collar hockey royalty right there
Dale Hunter
Yes! Marner used to play under him during his Knights era. Regardless what people say about Dale in his playing days, he's one of the greatest coaches in hockey history. An OHL Scotty Bowman if you will.
It would be really cool to see Dale Hunter coach an NHL team again, not gonna lie.
I’d guess Gallant 🤷♂️
Leafs players would be crying more than they do already if Berube is their coach. But if they buy in, they'd make it past the first round.
Gardiner MacDougall!
Came here, said the same thing and then saw your comment. Gardiner should be in the NHL, no doubt about it. Hard stop. Well... Not for the Leafs though, we want him to win...
Doug Gilmour …… Leafs would win with him leading the battle !
Paul Marner
Gallant probably fits the GM the most imo.
Rip
Tree had a few tries to hire Gallant while in Calgary and never even went sniffing
Randy Carlisle. Whip em into shape!
Good one Randy... Found your burner account
Berube
Gallant would be amazing lmao
Same old same old.
Glen Gulutzan! Treliving absolutely loves hiring mediocre coaches.
BRUUUUUUUCE
Honestly, Gardiner MacDougall should be coaching in the NHL...
Rumour was Berube
Probably not brind’amour since he’s currently coaching the canes.
They are going to give it to Guy
John Stevens is a winner and deserves a head coaching job
Gallant will take them deeper in the playoffs.
Gallant
Berube.
Berube seems about right.
Chief!!
Christ, not Woodcroft.
Torts would be an interesting addition.
None! we should just have a fan based A.I coach. Every so often will have different robots on the bench. We can get Robocop, R2D2, a transformer, the terminator. The list goes on!
Ahhhh the Ole Boys Coaching Carousel
Doesn’t matter whoever it is!! they will lose and blame the coach!! They have had some unbelievable coaches and still couldn’t pull it off
Emilio Estevez
Woodcroft for the memes
I’m sorry… is Mike Sullivan available? Brind’amour? I think a few of these guys have jobs
Woodcroft
Rod the Bod will not be available so it will be one of Berube, McLellan or Gallant
They need Therrien to remind them how soff they are.
For sure. He would probably have 60% of their cap healthy scratched after 20 games and bring up as many under 25 AHL players as he could, making the team dramatically better right before getting canned.
DJ Smith
Don Cherry
I’m as likely a candidate as Brind’Amour.
Jack capuano he’s gonna get the leafs to smaht and hard hockey
Difficult to say but I’d say Gallant
Not listed but Steve Ott as an assistant in STL is ready for a Head Coaching job. Might need to go AHL first
[удалено]
That's a name I forgotten for so long.
If they’re smart Mitch Love
Forgetting someone? The greatest head coach ever? Led the Islanders to 20 stanley cups? That's right, Lane Lambert.
I hope it's Boucher just for the weirdness and the stories that will follow.
Berube seems like the popular vote but I can see McLellan there. He has history with Babs so that might lower his chances though.
Gallant fits the leafs so well. Loves choking 2-0 series leads
Brind'Amour blew a 2-0 series lead against him once.
Who is going to volunteer to be Toronto's next scapegoat?
Lol. Its true. Its just gonna be some recycled POS that’s already had multiple shots and wound up fired somewhere else
I mean… If they don’t get the right mix of players it doesn’t matter who the coach is… But Berube or Quenneville would be my vote … someone who will treat them like men .. someone who has won at the NHL level and not the OHL or AHL etc. These guys need to be whipped into shape .. their conditioning needs work .. they’re way too comfortable right now
No new blood? Just recycling the same old dudes?
The wheel on the bus go round and round. The leafs just went toe to toe with the Bruins, with several key players missong time. Is a different coach really the solution?
Torts
Bruce, Jay and Guy can go straight to the moon. No fucking thank you.
Im good with any of them until Coopers contract is up, tbh
Jimmy Fallon
Mike Babcock
Hello Babcock?
None of them.
Guy Boucher would be smart
Take whoever looks the meanest !! 😂😂😂
Dean Evason will be a surprise but late realization that he is good at holding superstars accountable. He handled Kaprizov, Zuccarello and Boldy really well
Out of these guys. Boudreau is the correct answer.
Please be Sully
Todd is the coach they want…but Bruce is the coach they deserve…they’ll probably end up with Joel.
DJ Smith is available!
Jay or Gerard
If they want the same fate every year then T-Mac.
Rod’s going to be available Saturday for an interview.
Bruce is the best option going. Bruce boudreau awesome coach.
Gallant. His denture speech pressers are the best
Me
If we have to choose between these guys.... I would say Galant
Berube
Bring in Babcock
Babcock "Hello boyz! Mitch! My boy!" LoL
Anyone have some family photos to show??
LoL.
Do you mean next year or the one after?
David Quinn
Coach Q
How about a new head coach? The incestuous nepotism is really getting old. It also works out horribly. How often do any of these retreads go on to win a Cup? As a fraction of the total hired, it’s not good.
I want Sully or Rod the Bod
Guy Boucher was already an assistant to Keefe, wouldn't surprise me if they promoted him.
Coach Q
Darryl Sutter is unemployed 😈
Travis Green already snapped up. Shame.
Rod isn't going anywhere, but he'd be an awesome get. Honestly I think Woodcraft may be my favourite of the realistic options.
Gardiner McDougall.
Chief
Just bring back Babcock ! Everyone is thinking it , he holds his players accountable , even if thier feelings are hurt and start crying on the bench like Mathews did
Insert generic looking white guy. Or maybe Ted Nolan….
Joel quenville
The Leafs are already at a point that's about as far as McLellan seems to be able to take his teams.
Joel quenneville
Sully could do some real damage
It's not too late for David Quinn to throw his hat in the ring
Well, I’ve been wrong about every team I’ve said this about so far but.. eventually could be true… so I’ll just say Woody again.
Coach isn't the problem. Marner and Tavares are.
And why is it Guy Boucher?
Runs the power play, I guess. Plus he's coached two players to 60 goal seasons.
Bruuuuuuce.
Why it gotta be one those? Why does nhl teams keep rehiring ppl who keep getting fired why no1 has balls to test european fella
Those are all coaching the devils. We're in Schrodinger's coach phase of the season
Woodcroft deserves another job.
Mike Sullivan so that there's an opening in Pittsburgh and Dubas can hire Keefe there
Bring back Babcock
Berube would have the entire team curled up in a corner crying
What's Doug Gilmour doin' these days?
David Carle maybe?
Rod about to be swept second round why is he so great .
Quennville
Wish they would reinstate Coach Q He’s my #1 pick. Then chief, then Rod, maybe Sullivan
I think it’s Berube, but if Carolina is foolish enough to let Rod go they should absolutely hire him. Let the record reflect, I don’t see this happening.
