TSNBobMcKenzie Tom Renney named head coach, Pat Quinn steps down as coach, takes on role as sr advisor to hockey

FriedmanHNIC Can't imagine Quinn took this very well. When I spoke to him in April about coaching future, he was surprised I'd even bring it up.

Losses will not only mount - they'll be even more boring to watch if you're a fan of the Oilers.

Assistant Tom Renney will take his place behind the bench.

I like this move actually. Its more lesser of two evils really, but Renney >>> Quinn for young players. Quinn was way too harsh on his players.
