A recently fired head coach has voiced his willingness to join the Boston Bruins organization and replace Joe Sacco, but it may not be the right move for the Boston Bruins.
The Bruins management has already confirmed that they are going all in on a coaching search, which has reportedly included highly touted names, including Rick Tocchet.
While they haven't ruled out the possibility of promoting Joe Sacco to head coach, those chances are slimming down as a recent report reveals the Anaheim Ducks' former head coach has openly stated he'd be ecstatic to have an opportunity in Boston.
While speaking to the Boston Globe's Kevin Dupond, recently fired Anaheim Ducks' head coach Greg Cronin revealed the following:
"I'm a coach, right?" Cronin said. "All these openings, I'll throw my hat and see what comes back. I mean, heck, I'd be doing handsprings and jumping over rainbows if I got the Bruins' job. I'm a Boston guy, and for a Boston guy, that's hitting the lottery times 10!"
While it may be a shine of brightness for Cronin, the Bruins may want to look elsewhere for a head coach.
While Cronin has his eye on the Bruins' head coaching job, it is not currently known if the Original Six club is interested in him. It will be intriguing to see if he becomes a candidate for the position from here.
Noted The Hockey NewsCronin recently coached the Anaheim Ducks and was fired of his duties in just his second year with the struggling Anaheim Ducks.
Although Cronin did post a 35-37-10 this past season, Anaheim's best record since the 2018-19 season, a clean slate is needed in Boston and a head coach with a lot of baggage may not be the right choice.
