Joel Quenneville will be the franchise’s 16th head coach and 4th coach in three years. While the move creates yet another change at the position, Coach Q actually brings a sense of stability for the future, along with prestige and a winning pedigree that has been missing from the recent Florida Panthers head coaches.
His resume commands respect and this acquisition further establishes the desire of a winning culture that management and ownership have been looking for.
An experienced head coach brings many facets. Coach Q brings an understanding of strategies, mid-game adjustments, and development of chemistry and fundamentals.
