Winnipeg Jets 2024-25 Coaching Thread

It's gonna be Scott Arniel.

 

[SensibleGuy]

99% it's going to be Arniel. Always was going to be Arniel. He's probably already been given the position...they are just waiting for the right time to announce.

I dropped the percentage to 99 to allow just a little bit of wiggle room for something magical to happen.

I think Arniel will do a good job if they give it to him.We need a couple of good defenseman though.

That's just former head coaches and current assistants and a few AHL guys. Some of them suck. But there are at least 5 good ones in that group...

I only see a few with Jets connections. We all know it’s going to be Arniel and same assistants on the Huddy plan.

Yeah I'd rather a chance on Arnie than McLellan or something like that.

Still think Todd Nelson gets an interview. Knows Chevy, was an assistant of Bones. Currently trying to go b2b calder cups so might be a few weeks yet.

 

[Jet]

Thanks for the info Friedman haha

The king of actually saying nothing

How did the Sens go with Green over Berube.....????

 

[DRW204]

How did the Sens go with Green over Berube.....????

Probably $$$
Also Berube would have his pick of some of the better teams like Toronto or WPG as opposed to Ottawa.

 

[Buffdog]

I guess we're an option for Berube if he's going through the interview process. Maybe not Plan A, but who knows

I figured he'd be toronto-bound for sure, but man that must be a tough market to coach in

 

[CorgisPer60]

I'm at least encouraged that they are doing their due diligence on a HC search, and didn't just immediately announce Arniel as the new HC.

 

[surixon]

He likely didn't want the job and was holding out for opportunities with teams closer to winning.

It's a smoke screen. Arniel will be next HC of the Jets.

 

[SensibleGuy]

Not sure I'd call it a smoke screen, but it wouldn't really look great if they didn't at least go through a bit of a process before giving the job to Arniel...

 

[CorgisPer60]

It's a smoke screen. Arniel will be next HC of the Jets.

It may eventually come that he will be the next head coach, but why didn't they just announce it when Bowmess retired, if that was going to always be the end goal? it's not as complicated or nefarious as people suggest it is. Don't promise people jobs. He should have to re-interview for it. Do it right. Don't be left holding the bag like the last time when you were Trotz or bust.

[GeorgeJETson]

Classy. Wants to say "No, Thank You" face to face

 

[WolfHouse]

I just saw Craig Berube at a hog barn in St Malo... he's says its a lock that he's the next coach of the Jets.

Because:

"After a long and arduous hunt for a new head coach, TNSE has decided to go with the person we feel is the most qualified to take our team to the next step. We congratulate, and would like to introduce Scott Arniel as the new Jets Head Coach"

sounds better than:

"Because he's already coaching here, we congratulate, and would like to introduce Scott Arniel as the new Jets Head Coach"

Even though the end result is the same, hiring Arniel the day after Bowness retires , would have been sending the wrong message.

[GeorgeJETson]

Oh. So not as classy as thought. Saying no on Zoom.

 

[cbcwpg]

Hmmmmmm....

Physically goes to Toronto to be interviewed.... Winnipeg comes calling to offer you a 7 figure job and Zoom it is.

Didn't Berube hear that we have crappy internet in Winnipeg. What if the internet dies in the middle of the interview?

Cheveldayoff had Chipman splurge for a Starlink wireless access point.
