I've got to stop listening to these things. Too many things happen that make me mad.
I don't like that this seems to have been decided on the fly.
I also don't like that the first thing Eakins talked about is "time" and "character".
|
There's a lot in this that doesn't make sense if everyone is telling the full truth.
MacTavish was part of the three-headed interview monster that decided the Ralph Krueger was the best choice a year ago, over Tom Renney, Brent Sutter, Jon Cooper and others.
Then he hung out with MacTavish a lot this spring, they decided they needed an associate coach. They interviewed Paul Maurice and Rick Bowness, then sometime in the last 10 or so days they offer Bowness the associate position under Krueger. Bowness declines and goes to Tampa, MacTavish interviews Eakins, decides he philosophically differs with Krueger, agrees in principle on a deal with Eakins, then fires Krueger, then signs Eakins.
So, you are definitely left to wonder, if Bowness takes the associate job with the Oilers, does MacTavish still have philosophic differences with Krueger a week and a half later? If he does, does Eakins get the chance to fire the newly hired associate? (I guess it isn't even certain that he'll get the chance to fire or hire the assistants, so maybe it would have happened all the same).
I think the Oilers read in the media again and again that Dallas Eakins was the most coveted coach in a market that included Ruff, Tortorella, Vigneault, etc. and they got caught up in their "Gotta have it" mindset that they fall in to every July 1, just like when they chased Chara and Jagr and Hossa and Nylander and Souray and...etc etc.
MacTavish probably asked him if he'd be associate, knowing that he was hiring the replacement for Krueger. Eakins probably said he liked the opportunity with the Oilers and the young, talented team, but he'd prefer to be a head coach some where. MacTavish and Lowe probably kicked it around for 15 or 20 minutes after that call, and then called Eakins again and said "What if you could be the head coach? Would you come to Edmonton then?" After that, they only had to figure out how to take down Krueger. Lowe likely opted for barn fight, MacTavish made the decision to just fire him instead.
|
Did "they" interview Maurice and Bowness and did "they" make an offer to Bowness? Or did MacT interview them and make the offer. Every article I've read states the MacT extended the offer to Bowness. Maybe it is just symantics, but it strikes me really odd that we are led to believe that it was Krueger who brought forward the idea of getting some help, but then he stays in Europe while MacT does all the work?
Was MacT fired?
