Boston Bruins Head Coach Chaos Continues as National Reporter Drops Update

We still have no confirmation on who will occupy the hot seat in Boston. NHL Insider Pierre LeBrun reported this on May 22: “On Bruins’ coaching search, my understanding is final interviews will be conducted next week and then a decision to come after that.” There were a number of candidates the Boston Bruins were considering including Marco Sturm and Mitch Love. And it looks like the hunt for a new coach is still ongoing, with the latest update from a couple of NHL reporters throwing a fresh name into the mix.

As per Eamonn McLean, the Bruins Writer for Black N’ Gold Productions LLC, Bruins interim head coach Joe Sacco still has one foot in the door. Well, McLean’s exact tweet was, “Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts Podcast: “I’m under the impression that Joe Sacco as of us recording this late Thursday night is not out of the picture (In Boston). And I still think Jay Woodcroft is in the midst of this too.”.”

To add to this, I've had more than one source tell me that if Jay Leach becomes the head coach, Joe Sacco would stay on as an assistant if he wants to. https://t.co/eOnZN25ZbN

To give more clarity, Jimmy Murphy, the NHL Reporter for RG Media, retweeted McLean’s post with more updates: “I’ve had more than one source tell me that if Jay Leach becomes the head coach, Joe Sacco would stay on as an assistant if he wants to.” As you can understand, things are still quite tangled up in Boston. But what are the odds that Sacco will stick around in Boston in his current role? As of now, Jay Leach seems to be the front-runner for the position of HC of the Boston Bruins.
