yave1964 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Strange days in the desert.... Coyotes owner Andrew Barroway announced that long time coach Dave Tippett was parting ways with the team last night sighting 'philosophical differences'. "On behalf of the entire Coyotes organization, I would like to sincerely thank Tip for all of his hard work and the many contributions he made to our organization," team owner Andrew Barroway said. "Tip is a man of high character and we are very grateful for his leadership during his tenure as our head coach. Ultimately, we have some philosophical differences on how to build our team. Therefore we mutually agreed that it is in everyone's best interest to have a coaching change in order to move our franchise forward." I am not sure if that means 'your fired' or if it means "I quit". Tippett took over the team when they were about five minutes from bankruptcy back in 2009, no owner, the league running things, he and long time friend Don Maloney who was the GM ran the team on a shoestring and managed to keep it in place in Arizona. Maloney was relieved last year and replaced by wunderkind GM John Chayka. Tippett had four years remaining on his deal but will not be part of the organization as a mutual settlement was reached to terminate his contract. Good coach. Bubble coaches everywhere must be nervous now seeing that he is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firing him the evening before the NHL draft probably wasn't the best timing here, but that probably means he wasn't onboard with the direction Barroway is planning to go with this team. I'm curious to see where he goes with this as I would expect the plan is to go with a high tempo style of coaching. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen rumblings that Barroway doesn't have the financial chops to support the team on his own, the buyout not withstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I think this was an owner decision, but is any of this in part due to philosophical differences between a (presumably) old school coach and a young analytics-y GM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FD19372 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Tippett seems like a good coach, trapped in a no-win situation in Glendale. I think he'll find another NHL HC job soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Tippett likes to force chip and chase when he does not trust a player and does not let his offensive players he does not trust show their skills as much as Ownership would like methinks. Very good coach, but I think they are at the point where they need to try something new. Paul Maurice is the guy who should be fired next. The amount of bench minors and penalties coming out of Winnipeg are sick, but at least fire your PP coach since you have all that talent and use a stupid PP system that undermines skill.

jammer2 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I was waiting for this dime to drop. Tippet's teams are based on staying in your lane, being responsible in all areas of the ice. The prospects that are about to hit the Yotes are free wheeling and exciting. They need a more up tempo coach, one that can cash in on speed mismatches. Not a knock on Tippet, but the roster evolved into something that should not be constrained by his system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
