While it is ONLY an assistant coaching position you still should try to get the best person possible and the window for that to happen was after the season ended ( as the most qualified find contracts to be signed ) the lesser qualified will always be available ( ie you and Deer) so to go this long into the search is a mistake especially in a year where development will be a high priority.

Who did we miss out on? This is Cape Breton....we were never getting "the best person possible" for this job. I somehow doubt Pascal Rheaume was in high demand, but I could be wrong....and he was our #1 choice....I can't see any local midget/jr a coaches(for example) being any less teachers then Rheaume just because they're not necessarily former professionals. There's still tons of time to find an adequate assistant...and that's what we'll get...like always.

Jack, don't we want someone to come in that has input for change regarding such things as poor conditioning, inconsistent effort, me first attitude and discipline both on and off the ice? After last year, I think the boat needs to be rocked.
It seems like somehow after Pascal left the philosophy that made the Eagles such a hard working "TEAM" slowly left.
Also, wouldn't being able to get a license for a certain type of bus in your own province be a consideration before you arranged to get the bus? That would be like hiring a coach only to find out later that he has no coaching certification.

The change we need isn't something that's going to go from the bottom up in my opinion, it has to come from the top down....either of the hockey side or the business side. Is there that much of a deal to taking a normal bus to NB to pickup the nice bus that's taking you to Quebec for a week? And I never actually heard that the team didn't know they couldn't bring it into NS......do you know that they weren't aware of it beforehand?

Well Jack, you might be right about the changes having to come from the top down. But in that case, it might seem like a long 2 years!
I don't think they knew ahead of time that they couldn't bring it into NS, but shouldn't they have? Also changing buses on the way back from Quebec in Moncton, in the middle of the night can't be much fun.

I think the point that has been missed here by hiring JUST AN ASSISTANT is that in Eagles history for a number of years you have got your Head Coach/Gm thru the Assistants and you would have to agree that both Mario and Pascal were very qualified and there could be a possible reoccurance of this in the future, so taking anybody is not a solution. Bathurst just hired early in the summer a former Head Coach as did Lewiston, they were out there but its getting late in the game.

The Vincent comparison kind of proves my point....he came out of nowhere(Quebec MAAA I think) to be an assistant here. Durocher came with the experience. Which one were we better off with? We all know the answer to that question.

Why are people going crazy over not having an assistant coach. It's not like we are a month into the season here. I'm sure we will have one by the time camp starts until then stop making dumb comments. Like " Is he going to run the bench by himself or actually hire an assistant!"

The should have open interviews for the assistant coach. I vote JB or deer.
I mean, the Philadelphia Eagles did it in 76 for players and Vincent Papale made the cut, so, its not THAT far fetched....
