When Claude Julien was fired by the Boston Bruins earlier this week, his name was immediately attached to the Florida Panthers.
Tom Rowe made it clear Thursday he intends to remain behind the Florida bench at least for the foreseeable future.
When asked if he enjoyed coaching and wanted to continue he said “I would be lying if I said I didn’t.”
Rowe, Florida’s general manager since last spring, has been the Panthers’ interim coach since Gerard Gallant was fired on Thanksgiving weekend following a loss in Carolina.
On Thursday, Rowe said his status as Florida’s coach would be decided once this season is complete.
