Re: Don Granato was fired
Matt Ellis has powerful friends within the organization. He didn't come as a tag-along to Granato. Yes, he should go. And likely will go. When they find the right coach.
Anyone else notice the huge TED NOLAN sign in the crowd at the last game?
Don't bring back that cokehead please.

I like Peca. A lot. The work he put into the players as an assistant was a major reason kids developed in Roch and Buff. But is he a future head coach? I don't know. I'd hate to hire him and have him not be head coach material. I'd hate to overlook him and him catch on and be a great head coach elsewhere. I guess I'd look to the AHL or even the OHL for a coach. Maybe even overseas.

You have to think that they have someone in mind otherwise they would not have cut ties with Granato so quickly after the season.
And message to Dahlin and the rest of the players that whined about the fans booing Granato and calling for his head: PLAY BETTER and you won't get the next coach fired. Granato had 3 seasons. That's enough to get the team to the play-offs. He didn't do it.

Originally posted by OpIv37 View PostHa I had a similar thought. I watched probably 50 games this year and I just couldn’t stop thinking about how much of this team’s problems are because that damn video coordinator is really holding them back.

Originally posted by JATMtheJATM View PostI'm more concerned somehow Matt Ellis still has a job.
I have no idea why, after the quarter season mark, and the power play was a disaster, Granato didn't ask someone else to run it or run it himself.
The power play is why the Sabres missed.
Ellis' contract is now up.
Whoever the new Sabres coach is, he's likely to want his own personnel.John Hemingway(facing certain death): I want to see Buffalo win the Super Bowl.
David Coltrane(threatening John): Nobody's going to live that long, pal.
