Who is the NEXT Sharks Head Coach?

[@rhamses]

Joel Ward brought me here immediately hahaha. Never knew he was doing this now

[@timothyflanigan1777]

it might be a long shot, but Boston's Associate Head Coach Joe Sacco. in his first year with the Avs as a H/C, he was finalist for coach of the year. did well in the AHL. has had some interviews the past few years. and he is another Boston University product like Mike Grier. just a thought.

[@camc9225]

What about hiring that Brodie Brazil guy?

[@navy4735]

excellently well said by Demers.....veterans KNOW....tried and true....tested in the crucible and humbled. very well said ! loved what he spoke about in the end !

[@yeg466]

So long as Jay Woodcroft adjusts his defensive schemes, he's gotta be your guy. I liked his time here in Edmonton aside from the defense (not necessarily his fault). Don't take McLellan... Barf

[@keithfries]

I had tweeted about McLellan returning to San Jose, saying that with Macklin Celebrini returning to the organization (from the Jr. Sharks) that it wouldn't be strange to see two "Macks" come back. #ReturnOfTheMack Humor (or lack thereof) aside, hiring McLellan would make a lot of sense. If you look at his recent stint in LA, he had a lot of prospects that he had to coach up and he was very good at implementing and hammering down a system. For a team of young guys (like the Sharks have now), an Xs and Os type of coach, like McLellan, would be beneficial to bring these players along into a professional setting. Sadly, this would imply that McLellan would likely be fired from his position before the club had a chance to make a legitimate run at the Stanley Cup.

[@mayhemjr.803]

Na nah nah. We've seen that to story before. It never ends well

[@ryansilva9853]

Brodie, let me throw a Wildcard into this. Dallas Eakins, formerly Ducks Head Coach. He Coached here in San Diego for the Gulls of the AHL. He seemed to know how to handle and get younger Players to develop. Shea Theodore, was here in San Diego during his tenure as Coach. I knew that he was ready for the NHL, Anaheim at the time didn’t have room for him, really. He’s become an important player for the Vegas Golden Knights! I think Dallas Eakins could positively impact the development of Cellebrini, Will Smith, Eklund, Etc.

[@scottnathan2912]

While then I’m #2 today. I just hope that we get the right coach for where we are as a team right now.

[@SJSharkking29]

I think David carle is a good option he can develop players well I think

[@nwesterbeckmaster]

I met Joel Ward in downtown Campbell several years back and I took a photo with him. It would be pretty cool if he then eventually became the head coach.

[@jfinitiproductions4115]

The way Brodie described who needed to be the next head coach in the beginning of the video, I feel as though they need to hire David Carle from Denver University. He perfectly describes what Brodie was talking about.

[@FredWalters-wt1ir]

I am all in on Joel Ward. If I recall Brodie you called him your favorite player. He is a great guy and would bring a ton to develop the young team. Knights who? Go Sharks!

[@baysick11]

Hire David Carle as head coach, draft Celebrini 1, and trade up into the top 8 for Zeev

[@TheFlamingShark]

No mentions of Sheldon Keefe? I like Woodcroft, but Keefe would be my #1 pick if I can have anyone. All Keefe did in Toronto was win (in the regular season) in the most difficult hockey media market. Even if he can't get it done in the playoffs, he certainly can help mold this team into a winning team, and then we can cross the bridge of playoff success when we are finally back there in the first place. I get he had a ton of talent in Toronto, but I think he'd be a great choice.

[@mayhemjr.803]

The guy couldn't get it done in Toronto. What makes you think he can here?

[@TheFlamingShark]

@@mayhemjr.803 Like I said, even if he can't, if he could get us to where he had Toronto, you can then fire him if he can't get you over the hump, but in that hypothetical we are a perennial playoff contender lacking postseason success, which would then be a very appealing coaching destination. Not to mention people that leave the Leafs win Stanley Cups after the fact more often than you'd think. It's moot anyways since New Jersey snatched him up and he probably wasn't involved in the process for the Sharks, but pretty much everyone we are discussing hasn't gotten the job done before either. Those guys don't exactly grow on trees.

[@jp03-03]

If Colorado fires their coach, Sharks have to get him.

[@Obrim34]

First time ive ever been #1 to view and comment on a video.

[@jimturnbull2343]

Don’t forget to add Rod Brind a more since I don’t feel he will resign with Canes!

[@73Ambassador]

Resign means to quit lol. I think you meant to say re-sign?

[@joekaput747]

@@73Ambassador Isn't the English language incredible?

[@73Ambassador]

@@joekaput747 Yes, it is interesting because in his short comment, just leaving out the hyphen gave it a whole new meaning, lol

[@jacksonperry8283]

Brind’Amour will resign. The guy has lived in Raleigh the last 25 years.

[@73Ambassador]

@@jacksonperry8283 So if he resigns, as you said, after being in Raliegh too long, maybe he'll look at coaching one of the other teams that need a new coach. Winnipeg is a great team in need of a coach like him. Maybe New Jersey could also be a good fit.

[@bludika]

maybe Craig Berube or Rick Bowness

[@mariovaccarella6854]

Great Video, as usual, Brodie. I don't think that any Coach can do anything to turn The San Jose Sharks around. If David Quinn, who does decent with Bad Teams, couldn't do it, I'm thinking nobody can. Let me know what you think

[@ShantyIrishman]

The only benefit of rooting for a David Quinn coached team is winning the lotto.

[@oscarmurillo4067]

As long as it's not Mike Babcock or Bruce Boudreau, it's fine.

[@jlo2o199]

How depressing would it be to see Todd McClellan back when all of our favorite players from that era are gone and retired. Would be a sad reminder of better times. Todd without jumbo Joe or marleau? No thanks

[@royanderson3478]

Phill housley or James Patrick.

[@kiroolioneaver8532]

There's (unfortunately) no way it's Joel Ward. It's crazy that hockey has been so slow (on hiring diverse racial and even European coaches) that the perception would exist that he was an "affirmative action" hire (in much the same way the former GM of the Blue Jackets never hired a European coach). Some other GM will have to take on that burden and it's sad in 2024 that's still the state of things but it is the state of things.

[@johnc7048]

Gallant! Come on!

[@mariovaccarella6854]

I mean no disrespect & I know that you're being sincere & I'm not trying to be disrespectful to GM Mike Grier, but, you send out Erik Karlsson, Timo Meire, Anthony DuClair & Tomas Hertl & you really expect not to be in #32. Let's face it & call it the way it is. David Quinn got fired because he still tried to win & racked up some points when they were trying to land the #1 pick, Macklin Cellibrini, likely, instead of him going to The Chicago Blackhawks. While I am not accusing of tanking, it is certainly difficult to say this was A Mere Coincidence. Let me know what you think

[@justkeepingitreal2024]

I think Mike Grier doesn't have a f****** clue what he's doing. None. Do you have any glimmer of hope that the way this team has been run into the ground they will make the playoffs in the next 10 years? I don't. They will be perpetual bottom feeders and I would expect they become the Oakland A's of the NHL. Pathetic.

[@mariovaccarella6854]

@@justkeepingitreal2024 Thank You for your comment. I think that you make good points. That's why I said, from what's happening, he has no clue what he's doing or trying to tank. Therefore, given the fact that, technically, teams can't purposely tank, by default & without accusing, it has to be that he has no clue.

[@justkeepingitreal2024]

When you look at how the Las Vegas Knights were quickly developed and sustained, you have to ask, "who has been at the helm, of this train wreck"? It's like the Sharks are the "Titanic" and they hit the iceberg and keep backing up to hit the iceberg over and over again. Does Grier have any idea what he's doing? Is there any end in sight to becoming a playoff team?

[@Phukchina]

Tony Granato

[@bludika]

nahhh he wasn't that good as the avalanche coach

[@Crushbra]

Didn't know Jay Leach was a coach. With the low expectations, why not hire spitting chicklets Ryan Whitney as a powerplay specialist.

[@mayhemjr.803]

Brodie, you have a thing for McLellan. I don't know what is is but forget it. He is terribly overrated and was a notorious playoff choker. We need somebody much better and a proven winner.
