I thought this was pretty interesting.
The 47-year-old Babcock is driven to be the best on the bench, so he polled some peers about potentially going on the market following the season.
He called Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff and Nashville coach Barry Trotz to get their take on staying in the same place for a long time. He also gave Dave Tippett a ring because he was coming off his first season in Phoenix after six years in Dallas.
"I said, 'Tipper, do I need to go someplace different to try to be the best I can be?"' Babcock recalled. "He said, 'Not a chance.'
"I didn't really want to go, but I would've been in a position to get a long-term deal somewhere and still let my youngest daughter be in the same place through high school. Now, she can do that here. Me and my wife are thrilled about that."
Mike's a great guy, the players seem to like playing for him and respect him a ton. I wonder if Ruff gave him any tips on getting his players to dive more while he had him on the phone?
