Never heard of this being done but could be a new trend for underperforming coaches! Florida Panthers Head Coach was fired immediately after loss to Carolina, escorted out to an awaiting taxi for ride back to sunny F-L-A. You only as good as your last game…right? Gallant was a finalist for Coach of the Year last year in NHL. And DD thought the student newspaper was rough on him, ha !
Fascinating story….it gets bizarre as you read the regular articles (cut and paste) and then get the “sports” side of it. The rather “unusual” protocol is fascinating. They apparently travel on a bus (OUCH….thats a LONG way) and were headed to Chicago….a really LONG WAY….to sit and be cramped. We travel in a MH and at least we have beds.
SO, he was fired….then they pulled his stuff OFF of the Bus (as it was headed NORTH). They DID call him a Taxi so he could get a ride to the airport.
SO, at least he did not have to hoof it down Wade Avenue.
I think this would qualify for the following….
The GM threw the Panther’s Coach OFF the BUS….but, in an unusual act of compassion, did not throw him UNDER the bus….
