Bruins to conduct another head coaching search; Joe Sacco to be considered
Briefly

The Boston Bruins are commencing their search for a new head coach after a disappointing season. General Manager Don Sweeney confirmed that interim coach Joe Sacco will be a contender for the position while emphasizing the need for a coach who can develop a retooling roster. Sweeney expressed that the ideal candidate should possess NHL experience and adapt offensively to connect with younger players. Several established and internal candidates are expected to be considered as the team restructures for the upcoming seasons.
The shelf life of a head coach is significantly shorter than one of the general manager or a team president.
I've spoken at length with Joe. He's aware that we're going to have a coaching search. I think he's earned and deserved that.
I want a coach that's going to evolve a little bit offensively, able to communicate with sometimes younger players and their stubbornness.
There should be several intriguing coaching candidates available this offseason - be it established NHL coaches or internal options.
