Melrose Interested in Coaching

From PJ Swenson at Sharkspage,

Former Los Angeles Kings coach and current ESPN analyst Barry Melrose said in a short telephone interview today that he is still interested in a head coaching position. “Once you are a head coach, you are always a coach” Melrose said. He believes the position in San Jose is the most desirable opportunity on the market because in his opinion the Sharks could compete for a Stanley Cup next season.

Asked about the feelings of disappointment by players and staff after a second round exit to Dallas in the Western Conference Semifinals, Melrose said, “They should feel disappointed, they should still be playing”.

It is obvious why Melrose, Milbury, Douche Canoe McGuire cannot get a paid job in hockey; just listen to them.

I am not sure if Barry Melrose is really coaching material.I mean he did coach before.Yes but I think he should stick to being a hockey analyst.

I think he’s tired of doing analysis on those brief ESPN segments, and it shows.  If he does get another shot, seems it would be in a struggling market like Atlanta which could use a high profile coach behind the bench.

In a related story I’m interested in gaining superpowers, preferably flight, invulnerability, and x-ray vision.

We’ll see who gets their wish first.

Melrose just doesn’t seem like he’d be such a good coach.  Wayne Gretzky carried the Kings to the final in 93 when Melrose was there, and he owes Wayne a lot for making him look good. 

I actually have met Barry a few times, and while he’s a really nice guy, he seems to be less aware of all aspects of the game than the media makes it seem…
