Rank the coaches

Yeah, some don't have enough time in yet...others have sucky GMs...blah, blah...rank them as you see fit.

Code:

I'm not remotely close to being qualified enough, informed enough, or plugged-in enough to rank each of these coaches, and, by the dearth of responses, it looks like I'm not the only one.

I gotta give credit Mike Yeo and Glen Gulutzan, although I don't know how much their coaching has to do with their team's success this season. I would be very interested to see what people with a deeper understanding of coaching and knowledge of current coaches have to say. For example, Claude Julien doesn't catch nearly as much praise as Bylsma, is Bylsma really a much better coach?

Yeah, after it's been here for a little bit I'll move it to the main board. I think it's funny to hear people whine about Terry Murray and then say that Julien is equal to Bylsma...when I don't think there's a single Bruin fan who would say that.

How can you possibly interpret my post to say their systems are comparable? What words did I type that could mean that?

Isn't the average life span of an NHL coach somewhere in the 3 to 4 season range?

I wasn't implying that YOU were comparing them.

Well, lets see here now. In the rodeo circuit Rank is referred to a real onery,mean, hard to ride bull. I just don't see any Coaches who fit that title unless, it could be Torts and I love that guys coaching style.
