I don’t understand this line of thinking.
Why can’t people grasp that the NHL isn’t like hiring for a manager for their Canadian Tire location? This is a high level group of individuals who either know each other or have a pretty good sense of each other, and literally get to watch the resumes of others play out in front of them every year. There isn’t some interview process where they go, “So Alain, tell me about your last three seasons? What style of hockey did you play? How were the results? Name one time where you had an interpersonal conflict with a co-worker and how you handled it.”
This weird obsession with interviews and “due diligence” as though each coach is some grand mystery with which there is so much to be revealed is kind of insane. If you’re hiring someone who has never been a head coach before, I get it, but when you’re selecting from guys that have been in the NHL over the past however long, this isn’t a mystery.
Honestly, can anyone tell me what Treliving gained to learn from interviewing Daryl or Alain that he wouldn’t already know? Anybody?
