I hope both him and Nelson land there and punt the Oilers out of the playoffs at the end of the year. Nelson who at the request of Lowe, had the indignity of having MacT forced upon him on the bench, like a junior high school dance chaperone, for his first 6 games.
Eakins was in line for a high profile assistant role/associate coach somewhere until Lowe realized that he could score some media points buy hiring a guy the east media loved, because Eakins was in TO. Kruger got the shaft and Eakins got thrown to the lions.
Lowe, like so many egotistical moves, set all involved up for failure. The Coyotes, in the above mentioned late season game, should invite Ralph Kruger and Tom Renney so they can share the moment with Nelson and Eakins.
