Coaching Candidates

[WestLEAFfan]

Now that Peter Anholt is gone, who are the most likely candidates to fill the coaching positions next year?

[Five Hole]

Seems to me we need a real experienced guy who knows how to get the most out of each guy on the team, consistently. Obviously, Pete had a ton of experience, too, and he did have some success over the years, and probably got a fair bit of mileage out of the team this year in terms of achieving more than most expected from them, but for some reason not everyone was achieving all the time....

would Rob Daum be interested? He's been here before, plus a lot of other places...But, I don't know too much about him.. he had a nice career at U of A which obviously helped him get to the pro level... I could be right out to lunch on this, but seems to me him and his experience would be more what we need right now than somebody stepping up from midget ranks? Maybe a shorter learning cuve / adjustrment factor?? Thoughts?

Be prepared you never know with don clark if he try's to coach again i wouldn't blame you raider fans for never going to see them again that guy just blowes all around

[raider guy]

Hobster i dont agree with you much but this time i do, don clark is the worst gm in the league hands down, he should of been fired long before anholt was let go.

[hobster]

and i know this from experience when humpty dumpty coached the blades in the mid 90,s just a horrible gm/coach let wendell carry that great last name and stepp down humpty dumpty you'll be doing everyone a favour

[Sabes]

on the white board someone mentions Trent Yawney as a candidate.

[maple leaf]

You can throw all the names out there you want, but does a community based team that averages just under 3000 per game have enough dollars to attract the best possible coach to come to Prince Albert.

[Dwight Schrute]

on the white board someone mentions Trent Yawney as a candidate.

not sure if he would come.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[habsfan12]

I think that they should look at Westleafsfan as a coach...I think he'd be good!!!!!!

[habsfan12]

or if that doesnt work out..I think you guys should consider hiring Jack Sander as the coach.....!!
