Yeah... Maurice seems quite into coaching now.....just not here....

I mean, can you blame him? He was basically the scapegoat for three seasons until he resigned back in December.

Turns out what's wrong with this team (and organization) seems to go well beyond who the HC is.

Shitty news regarding Trotz. I wonder who's second on the Jets' candidate list... They need to get this figured out soon.

The former head coach played a big role in what went wrong tho. You can't deny that. The lack of accountability seemingly was a huge problem. With Wheeler number 3 on Seravellis trade board,  it makes you see that leadership was a problem and they recognize that. 

The other stuff perhaps blown out of proportion a bit based on Twitter rumors which you can't really say is true or not. The problem is we as fans will never ever know what exactly went on. Our media refuses to ask the hard questions 

As for trotz, family comes first every time so if his heart isn't in to coaching then so be it.

We got Trotzed.

Our parent club - the Rangers - are apparently in on Dubois maintenent.

We should tell them about our other sales. Perhaps a volume discount. 

20% chance our next coach will have hair 😂

I don't know why specifically but Rick Tocchet seems intriguing. 

Whoever the next coach is it's going to look like we picked up the 'booby prize' after Trotz...trotted off...Tocchet is an interesting candidate......but will interesting cut it.....Rangers interested in Pierre Luc according to sources????hmmmm if we end with a bag of peanuts for him, then it will have come full circle, and the Laine acquisition will have gone 'poof' and may as well have never happened...I don't trust the management of this club anymore

Dubois is a diva tho. 

I've got a buddy that's a die-hard Flyers fan, and he's pissed that they went with Torts over Tocchet. Truly believes Tocchet is going to be a great NHL coach... I don't know enough to know enough, but agree with "seems like an intriguing option..."

And yet some still want him to wear the “C”. Not sure what has happened to this club, but there sure seems to be something rotten with all the backsliding since 2018 and player defections/feuds/ trouble retaining or bringing in people who aren’t re-treads. Or do I over-exaggerate? Maybe just my mood today.

No you aren't exaggerating.    There is clearly a poisonous culture and it's on the coach and leadership.  Let's not forget that Kevin Hayes said the Jets locker was one of the worst locker rooms he's been in.   The new coach that gets hired is tasked with trying to fix that, as well as the underperforming team.    It's an uphill battle.

Coach can't fix management. That's a common theme here. 

Trotz knew it.

Has he been around since his Phoenix gambling episode? Honestly, any non-internal hire would be a breath of fresh air to me. Looking at that list we are considering two prior Moose coaches, an ex-gambler, a recovering alcoholic, and the least successful coach the Red Wings have had in the last 37 years.

But they work cheap!

Torts will have better year 1 then Tocchet would have.

Philly sucks tho

Probably easier for the Jets to beat out 1 of Dallas or Nashville or Minnesota (12 million in dead cap) then it is for Philly in their division.

Yet Maurice got paid the same as Trotz. Weird narrative to push for a team who spent to the cap in a no fan year
