The San Jose Sharks Hire Ryan Warsofsky As Their Head Coach, Why It's The Right Hire

The San Jose Sharks officially make Ryan Warsofsky the 11th head coach in franchise history. Start by examining why this is the right hire for the Sharks now, why we can't hold the Sharks' defensive woes against him, and a look at Warsofsky's resume. Then, revisit a clip with Sarah Avampato from when Warsofsky was first hired as an assistant coach in 2022 and what to expect with Warsofsky as the bench boss. Finally, look at two of the biggest challenges Warsofsky will face, including what type of staff he will put together and how he can create a better defensive system this season.

So many people trashing ryan warsofsky cause of the lack of nhl experience don't understand how this stuff works. I am so glad we didnt buy into the coaching carosel (sp?). Glad for the Sharks but also glad that the NHL gets to see if a new coach can enter the league

[@piktos]

I love the fact that the Sharks are really just building from the ground up and putting together a group that grows together, from the management to the payers. It was a rough road to here, but the future is looking a bright teal.

[@edgarmuniz8331]

This hire has me excited about the next chapter in Sharks history.

[@frankrojas304]

Why don't people understand that it was Quinns defense, and his system. Warsofsky has his own system he'll implement.

[@camc9225]

A lot of people read article titles but never read the article. This has a similar feel

[@previnsnaidu1]

He was the guy I wanted to eventually replace Quinn when Quinn was hired. I think it’s the perfect opportunity to have him grow with the team

[@poppinmycollar]

I was a bit nervous that if he didn't get picked, he would look for another opportunity elsewhere, when he was brought in to eventually be a HC for the organization. Just seems it was accelerated because of how bad the coaching was last year.

[@ianhall6614]

I know we will probably never find out the specifics but I want to know what the players were saying about Quinn that got him fired. Can’t wait for next season!

[@bozosaurus666]

There was an interview with Nico Sturm by Sheng Peng in which Sturm said players liked Quinn. It was most likely Grier and the front office that came to the conclusion that Quinn's time was done.

Let's go sharks!
