5 Reasons St. Louis Blues Should Hire Joel Quenneville; 1 They Won’t

The St. Louis Blues have a unique situation with their current coaching position. The team is not quite bad enough to demand a change, but there is a rare chance to be immediately better if there was a change.

The St. Louis Blues have some interesting days ahead of them. As they flounder at the beginning of the 2018-19 season, their ownership an management have to decide what the best course is for this current team

After a flurry of activity in the summer, expectations for this group of Blues were sky high. They came crashing down to earth with a tepid start to the season and a .500 record through 15 games.

Now, the realization is setting in that Mike Yeo might not be the answer for this organization. While some always thought that, there is a growing group of dissatisfied fans and they are voicing their displeasure with boos and by not showing up to games.

So, the franchise must decide whether to stay the course and hope the players turn it around and live up to expectations or to make a change. Complicating the matter greatly is the sudden availability of sure-fire Hall of Fame coach, Joel Quenneville.

Some say Quenneville might not even want to come to St. Louis since they fired him and his friend, Mike Kitchen. Money talks though and this current management group was not responsible for that decision.

The Blues would offer him a ready-made winnable situation and a chance for revenge on his old team, if he chose such a path. So, everyone has choices to make either during the season or after, depending on what Quenneville wants.

The Blues would be foolish not to kick the tires, at least. So, let’s look at the reasons the Blues should consider rehiring Coach Q.
