The Anaheim Ducks are currently looking for a new head coach, and the front office has been going through a very long search. Anaheim missed the playoffs once again this past season and eventually fired head coach Greg Cronin.
This started the search for a new head coach, and the search has turned a lot of heads. But one candidate seems to be out of the running as David Carle has agreed to become the new head coach at Denver University.
This eliminates him from consideration with the Ducks, and Anaheim will look elsewhere. Many fans were hoping for Carle for multiple reasons, but if only to push Anaheim away from a different option.
One name that has generated a ton of buzz is former Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville. It has been heavily reported that the Ducks are seriously considering the veteran head coach, much to the anger of the fanbase.
Quenneville was part of the 2010 scandal with the Blackhawks, where the team hid a sexual assault accusation. A former player reportedly told Chicago about an incident with a former video coach, and the Blackhawks kept things hidden until after the Stanley Cup Finals were over.
The veteran coach has been out of the league for a few years following this news, but was reinstated last summer by the commissioner. The Ducks and other teams have been discussing bringing him back to the bench.
It remains to be seen who the Ducks will ultimately hire to replace Cronin, but they seem to be doing their due diligence on candidates. Anaheim wants to get back to the postseason, and whoever takes over will have their work cut out for them.
