Rich Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 If we were going to replace Maurice, Julien would have been nice in the off season Never been a fan of Therrien. Then again, Jets probably aren't going to replace Maurice. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I think they should and have gone on about it... it's becoming obvious that Mo will be sticking around for a bit longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 This really pisses me off. Teams like the Blues, Habs, and Bruins all hit a slight speed bump and they have no hesitation whatsoever in replacing the coach. The Jets suck year-in and year-out and they just sit around with their thumbs up their butts. Such a joke. bustamente, The Unknown Poster, Goalie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Pop Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I find it hard to believe we'd have a shot at signing Julien anyways. He's been a top tier coach for long enough, I don't think he'd have to "settle" for small market prairie hinterland team that perennially misses the playoffs. bustamente 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing Lawless on H&L all week talking as if it's a foregone conclusion Maurice is re-upped is maddening! I'm not all anti-Maurice or anything, I just can't for the life of me see why it's a sin to suggest coaching may be an issue in this town.

The Unknown Poster Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Agreed with the sentiments above. There are always excuses. Montreal ain't. Along excuses. They are getting the best coach out there. And they didn't **** around either. Sure we weren't going to get him. But are we supposed to settle for a poor coach just because? Because he likes Winnipeg? Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you make him the highest-paid coach in the league then maybe it would be different. We fans pay a premium on seats and concessions so True North better be paying to get the best talent here!!

Floyd Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Julien was making $3 million a year... only Babcock is making ridiculous money. I think TNSE is making around $12 million a year on the Jets alone... they could afford a top tier coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Now that Babcock has set the $6M a year benchmark, it will be interesting to see how it affects other coaching signings like Julien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they also make a butt load of money on other things such as the Moose and the MTS Iceplex. If they aren't willing to pay a good coach then they are just greedy.

bustamente Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 There are no coaches that are even close to Babcocks salary this year, next year coach Q will be making 6 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Pop Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Frankly, the Jets are a team that should overpay for A+ coaching. Get it, and get it at any cost. I'm fairly okay with how a lot of our roster looks now in year 6 - but that don't mean shite if they can't win games. If TNSE is all about process and this season is a continuation of the bigger picture *insert more Chevy speak* yadda yadda yadda - what do we do if we're still lousy by American Thanksgiving 2017? Another process building year, rinse and repeat for 2018? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
