How much rope does lucky pierre get?

This was going for Dan Blysma for awhile too...amazing how much quicker that comes into play with a 48 game, under 4 month season.

I said before the Rags game (and still do honestly) that there needs to be a 10-14 day buffer period from the beginning of worry to actual action. You don't want to lose a great coach because of a 7 game period. That's insane. BUT, can that coach make a REAL switch?

 

[DevilishWon]

I THINK IF HE DOUBLES IT UP AND GETS TO 4-8 OR 4-10 HE'S GONE

I'll trade Todd Richards for him.



Although, we do have Craig Hartsburg and Keith Acton on the bench already...

Yeesh.

Who would they get to replace him? Lavy is a good coach. His team is beat up. I think it would be a mistake.

I don't get this...

Just the usual "a team isn't performing to usual standards, and something MUST be done" reaction. Honestly though, in today's league, it's not that outlandish of a thought. It's ALWAYS coach first.

Oh. Thanks Pix.

lol Lavy will not be going anywhere anytime soon.

Pretty much sums it up. It's not easy.

Nonononono. We don't call for the coach's head in Philly - just the goalie's. (In hockey, anyway).

True....Andy Reid hung in there for 40 or 50 years...it seemed

He does not deserve to be, anyway.

I would not be surprised if he gets the axe, though.

I hear ya DW, but...I don't really don't think so.

Big win. Bryz with 39 saves. Lavy can breath a little easier tonight. At least I hope so.

Meh, he's still on pace to finish 16-32-0, which will probably get him canned. One win ain't enough.

Wrong

That's incredibly misleading. Way too early to make that sort of stat.
