The Florida Panthers are looking for a new head coach.
Again.
Tom Rowe will not return as coach of the Panthers next season and he will also not return as general manager.
Dale Tallon, pushed aside by Rowe last spring, was given back his old title of general manager by owner Vinnie Viola on Monday morning.
Tallon will remain president of hockey operations, a title given to him last year in the organization’s front office reshuffling.
Rowe replaced Gerard Gallant behind the Florida bench in November in an interim role, giving up the day-to-day duties of general manager to Tallon, Steve Werier and Eric Joyce while keeping the title of GM.
