Toronto Maple Leafs New Head Coach Candidates
By James Tanner
John Tortorella
John Tortorella is still the head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers.
However, the Flyers, like the Leafs, have a new GM who didn’t hire the coach. There is a good chance the Flyers – who are rebuilding – will make a move to change coaches, just like the Leafs.
Tortorella is a maniac who doesn’t seem to be a very nice guy when it comes to being someone’s boss, but he is entertaining as hell.
Should he be let go by the Flyers, the Leafs should definitely not hire him. But then again, part of me thinks they should just due to how fun and entertaining it will be.
I personally have no patience for anyone who is a boss and treats people badly, but I do love hilarious maniacs with short fuses who say nutso things on a regular basis.
Overall it’s probably a bad decision to hire this guy.
Patrick Roy
LIke John Torterella, hiring Patrick Roy would be entertaining and extremely fun. Roy would likely make everything about himself and throw multiple public tantrums.
We could take bets on which player he would challenge to a fight first.
But I don’t think he’s the right guy for the job.
