Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 How much influence do you think the press has on coaches when deciding what team they will coach for next?

PromoTheRobot Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 So far the media has been beating the drum for a big name like Shannahan. But today Jerry Sullivan did something of a one-eighty and now supports hiring a GM first to hire the new coach. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about an ego driven coach and New York or Boston or someone a little more subdued and somewhere like Buffalo or Boise, it's not going to matter. Interchange those coaches and cities and it probably does factor in somewhat but probably not enough to have it become a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlep and Bullfrog...if a HC candidate likes to listen to sports radio, we're f#@ked. Seriously, in market like Buffalo, the attraction may seen to be out of the spotlight, nationally anyway. To deal with the local media, it would be interesting to see how they stack up against a few other teams in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
