Latest On Florida Panthers Head Coaching Situation

June 18, 2022 by Pro Hockey Rumors

While most teams actively seeking a new head coach are ones with clear vacancies in that position, it seems there is one team exploring the top end of the head coaching market without having officially parted ways with their prior head coach. The President’s Trophy-winning Florida Panthers, who have Jack Adams Award finalist Andrew Brunette as their interim head coach, are reportedly “active” in the head coaching market, interviewing the market’s top candidates such as Barry Trotz, Pete DeBoer, Rick Tocchet, and Travis Green, per Frank Seravalli. Seravalli also adds that the team has “possibly” interviewed former Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice as well.

The Panthers interviewing head coaching candidates without giving a clear word on Brunette’s future is a somewhat puzzling move. While Brunette has faced his fair share of loud criticism following his team’s swift playoff exit at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning, pivoting back to Brunette as their permanent coach after interviewing so many other possible candidates would certainly be awkward for the Panthers to do. Lightning series aside, Brunette delivered a President’s Trophy to Florida and their first playoff series victory since 1996. What sort of ground will Brunette be standing on next season if he does ultimately become the Panthers’ full-time head coach? What kind of leash would he be given, knowing that they were “actively,” according to Seravalli, exploring other options? Now, as TSN’s Darren Dreger puts it, Brunette is “in limbo” regarding his future in Florida. It’s a difficult situation and one that likely won’t be solved until we get more clarity from GM Bill Zito and the rest of Panthers management on the direction of the franchise.
