What would u do??? Head Coach dillema

Post by flea »

I started with my Bruins some month ago (Iam preparing to post it all in the block) and Iam doing pretty good so far.

I kept Dave Lewis as my Head Coach because I wanted to wait how he would do, but I have to say that I dont like him specially.
But well, after 29 games Iam second in the East, two point behind the Panthers and with three games in hand. Penalty kill is doing not bad with a 83%, but PP is awful with 14%.

Now here comes the dillema: as the Detroit Red Wings are doing pretty bad, Holland has fired head coach Babcock!!!

I always have liked Babcock and he has better attributes than Lewis and Iam seriously thinking about signing him but Iam afraid that the players and the board could be upset about that move!!

What would u guys do??

Sign a coach who has better attributes or stay with a coach that u dont like specially but who is apparently doing a good job??

Bufff, I really dont know what to do!!!!

1. Shave Lewis's ugly moustache.
2. Fire Lewis
3. Hire any one other than Lewis, and that includes Pat Quinn.
4. Hire Babcock to train your defensive monkeys as an Assistant coach.

It really depends on how you're playing it. Are you "role-playing" the game? Do you need to justify the firing of your coach? If not, go ahead and can him. If you're not on the borderline of getting fired yourself (which I would guess you're not since you're 2nd in the conference), the worst that can happen is that they send you a message that they didn't like you firing Lewis.

In real life, if you fired Dave Lewis the Boston fans would throw a parade in your honor.

Since you aren't losing, I would hire Babs as a assistant. If you start to lose, you can always fire Lewis and promote Babs to the Head spot.

Not so sure about that. He must know it looks like hell, yet it is still there. Mrs. Lewis either loves it for some reason, or there is a hideous birthmark or scar under it.
