I have an important message for Kyle Dubas in his search for a new Penguins head coach. Stop searching and name Sidney Crosby your interim head coach. There is nobody better to analyze the current needs and direction the team should be headed than Sir Sidney.
Bringing in some recycled head coach, at this late hour, who knows nothing about the current team then has influence on players selected in the upcoming draft, may be a mistake. Crosby is destined to be a head coach in the NHL, and he doesn’t need to be head coach of the Wheeling Nailers for three years.
Dubas said he would take time to find the right head coach. Well, you won’t find a more passionate, knowledgeable or personable person in hockey than Sidney Crosby. I believe he could be a successful player/coach, if Dubas pauses to think.
