Hockey Coach

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    His professional playing career ended after one season.
    He was initially passed over for the Blue Jackets head coaching job, despite the fact he was already familiar with the team’s system.
    He accepted the Blue Jackets head coaching position under toxic circumstances surrounding Mike Babcock that forced the latter to resign at the start of the team’s 2023 training camp.
    Some hockey pundits went as far as saying he was committing career suicide when he benched both Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine in the same game.
    His heavy-handed coaching style was compared to that of Mike Babcock, the very man he took over from in Columbus.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He established himself as a successful head coach with Cape Breton of the QMJHL.
    He drew praise from Canadian junior hockey pundits for his approach for developing younger players.
    He earned the AHL Coach of the Year honors with Manitoba of the AHL (2018).
    He isn’t afraid to bench star players, if he feels they aren’t pulling their weight with the team.
    Despite being thrown to the wolves in regards to taking the Jackets head coaching position in light of the Mike Babcock situation, he handled the situation admirably.
